The 2008 Hurricane Season has started at 1200AM EDT on June 1st, 2008. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued their annual "2008 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook". This report can be accessed at this link: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/hurricane.shtml Leading tropical meteorology experts Dr. William M. Gray and Dr. Phil Klotzbach at Colorado State University's "Tropical Meteorology Project" have also issued their 2008 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook located here: http://typhoon.atmos.colostate.edu/. I recommend you read both reports completely. Please notice the difference in writing styles and information given. Seasonal Hurricane Forecasting is very complex and some believe it is not possible at all, but with ever growing computational power, observational capability, research and understanding, greater seasonal forecasting "skill" is on the verge of being achieved. No matter what the forecast is, there will always be an order of chaos involved in hurricane seasons that can not be explained or predicted. Please keep this in mind. Since we live in a coastal environment along the eastern coastline of the US, we need to ALWAYS be aware of the tropics, and listen to the local, state, federal and research forecasters, seasonal and operational for potentially hazardous conditions. For South Carolina emergency management and preparation please visit this link: http://www.scemd.org/ Please monitor the tropics on a daily basis during hurricane season here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ I also HIGHLY recommend EVERYONE sign up for the National Hurricane Center E-Mail Advisories. This is a free service and will keep you up-to-date with the experts. It is not necessary to sign up for all of them. Here is the link: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/signup.shtml
