User blog:Bobnekaro/Happy 2019 Atlantic hurricane season everyone!!!

It's that day of the year hurricane trackers wait all winter and spring for...JUNE 1! Happy New Hurricane Season's Day! A new Atlantic hurricane season is upon us, the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. This is my fourth June 1 since I joined HHW, and I have to say, it's one of my favorite days of the year.

Thank you everyone that submitted a prediction to my contest! Here are some statistics based on all the predictions. Sorry Perismol, but I had to exclude your joke prediction. It's actually quite a tight spread, with no outliers. So, based on the averages of all my predictions, the official 2019 Atlantic hurricane season forecast from HHW would be 11.546-14.484 named storms, 5.253-7.511 hurricanes, and 1.914-3.056 major hurricanes. The HHW consensus calls for a near to slightly above-average season.

We've already had Subtropical Storm Andrea, and we have Invest 91L which is expected to reach the Bay of Campeche this weekend. I wonder if it could be Barry. I'm looking forward to tracking all 183 days of this season! It will be interesting to see which months are active, and which months are quiet. Will the "four active seasons in a row = impossible" theory be confirmed or busted this year? And will List 5 live up to its reputation of producing December storms?
