Some good news (kinda) for a change..

Hey all just looked at the latest Atlantic SST (Sea Surface Temp) analysis. Looks like the circulating currents are still functioning normally No day after tomorrow this year

Bad news: There are major portions of the oceans well above historical (12 year) averages in the 'hurricane birth zone' between Africa and the Carribean. Some of these are as much as 2c (~3.6f) above normal, so looks like a big season ahead...

any predictions out for the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season yet?
I say 18 named storms, with 7 being major hurricanes. Does Dr. Mayfield concur?
