I still think they're way off base. 10 hurricanes, try something more like 4 or 5 hurricanes.
MIAMI - Government forecasters minimally reduced their prediction for the Atlantic hurricane season Thursday, saying up to nine hurricanes and up to 16 tropical storms are expected to form.
The forecasters maintained their estimate that three to five of the hurricanes would be strong. The original report forecast up to 17 tropical storms, with up to 10 becoming hurricanes.
But the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also cautioned that the season is likely to be above normal, stating that new data has allowed it to increase its confidence level. It now estimates an 85 percent chance of an above-normal season.
