HOUSTON, Texas -- AccuWeather released its 2024 hurricane outlook forecast, showing this could be an explosive year. What could be lurking in the Gulf of Mexico this summer has AccuWeather meteorologists raising the alarm. "AccuWeather hurricane experts have serious and growing concerns about what can become a supercharged hurricane season this year," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said. AccuWeather's hurricane forecast shows there could be as many as 25 named storms, upwards of 12 hurricanes, and as many as seven strong hurricanes. It also predicts that upwards of six hurricanes could directly hit the United States. All of those numbers are

If you predict horrendous weather for each year, eventually, after years of being wrong, odds will dictate that you might be right one year.

Can anyone remember when these predictions have ever been correct?

I live in Massachusetts where we say, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes. I trust my weather app for temperature only. I can look out the window for the rest.
I read about the polar vortex. In February they said March was going to be real cold. It wasn’t. Last week they said it was spinning in the other direction. I didn’t get any further than that.

From global warming? Global cooling? Cow or shrimp farts? Too much plankton? Too little plankton?! Surely someone got money to postulate a fearmongering theory.

This is a prediction. Looking into a crystal ball and pulling a number out of their butts. ( After all we have never had hurricanes before.) Whatever happens happens. So be prepared, not scared. Get what you need now. Don't wait for two days out and wonder why you are having problems finding what you need. But always remember it's because of climate change, climate warming, climate BS and not Mother Nature's MO this time of year. The only way to stop hurricanes is to destroy all your electrical appliances and eat bugs. Hurricanes are man made and we deserve all the destruction they bring. Nothing will change until we happily embrace more energy regulations from FJB and eat BBQ mealworms.

Yeah, the FantasyWeather folks keep predicting big storm seasons, that never happen.
Sorry, propagandists - there has been absolutely NO change in the number, frequency or intensity of tropical cyclones, either in the Pacific of the Atlantic over the last 150 years. We are AWARE of more storms that stay far at sea and never hit land because of satellites, where many of these storms were only noted by the few passing ships 100 years ago if they never reached land.
Weather propaganda is tiresome BS.
Here's one of the very best discussions of the facts of "climate change" ever put out. It's a great detailed look at the actual science and the politics and warped "sciencey" stuff, too.
I passed this on to my nieces and my other family members, it's that good.

I prefer my ultra accurate "Weather Window". It is 100% accurate, although it doesn't have a "three day forcast" feature.
But often my "Weather Window" is accurate when the computer weather tells me we have "rain, ending in one hour". I look out my "Weather Window" and see, no, it's not raining. But the "Weather Window" tells me that perhaps in half an hour it may rain.
I lived on the East Coast for many years, have been through a number of hurricanes. These idiots today are just hyping and ALWAYS estimate very high.
Plus, let's suppose that there ARE 10 hurricanes.....the reality is that 7 -9 of them will never touch the US mainland, and probably 6-7 will never touch ANY land, not even a island far away.
Just more Climate Crap.

According to the weather fear mongers, last year was the worst in history. So was the year before and the year before.

Sorry for the second post, but this is how I watch the weather. If the birds are eating like crazy is a Weather Watch. If the birds disappear and are not singing and the dog doesn't want to go outside is a Weather Warning. Easy, very accurate and they don't need computer models.

Like all the other 'exceptional' years they've predicted for decades. Sometimes there were, but the media needs more eyes, more often. It's how they charge the advertisers.

Always with the "could" and "might" or "may" qualifiers which means they aren't sure, and don't know for certain.

Quite the panic mongers.
First, if you live in an area that has had hurricanes go through in the last 10 years, you should ALWAYS spend some time on preparedness. It's just common sense. Smart people in Canada put on snow tires in the winter. Duh!
Second, we now have path predictions for storms almost two weeks before they become a threat to the US. People should be watching those projections.
Third, STOP WAITING TO LEAVE TARGET AREAS UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! Leave BEFORE the roads get clogged, take spare gas with you. If you have 15 gal. of spare gas and leave before the crowds, you could get from Miami, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia in 10 hours and without needing more gas. Fill up your tank and your spares and you be in St. Louis, Missouri in another 8 hours and completely out of risk. If you towed a small trailer, you could carry water, soda, snacks, non perishable food, changes of clothes, a tent, sleeping bags, and more and be able to hang out for a couple weeks in a campground before you head back. Establish a connection beforehand with your local authorities so you can check conditions BEFORE you head back. What will you do if no road access? no power? no water? limited food? your home is unlivable? ...
Much of the personal tragedy associated with hurricanes is due to people being stupid. Yes, great property destruction can result. Much can be rebuilt. Planning is ESSENTIAL.

Joe Bastardi is the only meteorologist who I trust. His Wikipedia entry is a perfect example of how slanted their “contributors” are:
Joe Bastardi (born July 18, 1955) is a professional meteorologist and weather forecaster. He is a frequent guest on TV news shows. Bastardi is an outspoken denier of human-induced global warming whose public statements frequently contradict the scientific consensus on climate change.

fear-porn. They predict an awful lot that never happens. They also fail to predict lots of things. If its more than five days ahead, its guesswork.

I can't remember the last time the predictions for Hurricanes wasn't 'a record breaking year'. Every year, same old prediction. I think these services have a better chance of predicting the winning Lottery numbers than the weather, much less hurricanes.

There is an old saying..."If you are a pessimist long enough, you will eventually be perceived as a Prophet".
Weather folks have based their careers upon this.
There are only two careers one can have where you can make declarations of absolute surety, be constantly wrong, make more unabashed, unashamed declarations of certainty just as wrong the very next day, yet still draw a phat paycheck...Weatherman, and....Politician.
In the last decade the differences between the two has nearly disappeared.
Chicken little's/Henny Penny's have declared themselves Wise Owls.

In an effort to extend my mixing of metaphors...
They might perhaps remember. That Boy who cried Wolf? Eventually a real wolf came, and gobbled him up...and the townsfolk cared not even a bit.

This crisis will be handled by Biden who will make everybody quit using petroleum based products to reduce the oceans' temperatures. When the farmers can't harvest their crops and trucks deliver food half if us will die and that should make things even cooler. NO worries folks..

I remember a recent year that was supposed to be violent and wet. Not one hurricane. The Weather Channel has become the American version of the Daily Mail (UK) and is also a parrot voice to the Climate Change Cult. They, of all people, should realize that climate happens as dictated by the motion of the Earth around the sun, nothing else.

As this country turns away from God -- especially its leaders -- don't be surprised if God turns his back on us. I wouldn't be surprised if our country will soon be struck by a series of calamities, including destructive hurricanes.
