Tropical Storm Colin 8PM Advisory Map

Colin_2A

Colin will approach Florida over the next 24 hours as he moves through the Gulf of Mexico.  Rain will affect most of the state over the next days.  Along the southeast coast we will see from one-half to three inches of rain depending on how the rain bands/squalls set up.  Main threats will be local flooding, gusty winds, and the possibility of a tornado with these squall lines.

2016 Hurricane Season Forecast Summaries

As we enter the 2016 season I always find it interesting the forecasts that organizations put out.  Granted there is not much value in these forecasts besides for statistical purposes.  Possible in time we will see these numbers have the reliability of “today’s high temperature” since we do know that if you are affected by one storm it could be a very bad year.

I do want to note that NOAA’s forecast is interestingly broad.  NOAA’s range is from slightly below average (nine named storms) to 25% above average (16 named storms).  As with any discipline you must practice and practice to get any better.

Here are the numbers as of now.  I will update the list as we move through the season.
