FWIW, NHC and University of Colorado lowered their expectations for the hurricane season but it's still expected to be slightly above average

Certainly makes sense that the hurricane season will strike back hard. We aren't even near the peak hurricane season. Still like a month away.

I saw on Twitter that there's been only 3 other instances of such low hurricane activity through this point of the season. The 3 other times were 1991, 1992, and 1997. Or something like that. But we're in a moderate La Nina... no reason we won't see at least the Caribbean/GoM light up... if not the MDR.

Got about a month until we get there but yeah. We're getting there, but for now severe weather is just dead.

Yeah, it's been extremely dead for now, like 2021 until October came in and scared the crud on me with 2 Moderate Risk Days within a week for my area!

EDIT: I forgot to add that a dud spring season does not mean that fall will be the same.

The ENSO forecast reminds me of 2016-17. Early peaking moderate Nina. Should be an active winter for severe weather.

And winter weather? The Old Farmers (And Farmers) almanac is literally calling for a literal "Hibernation zone" for the Northern and parts of the Southern Plains.

Also mentioned that "One half would see a lot of snow, but the other half would not see much of winter."

Those almanacs always call for brutal winters. It's basically just porn for those who love winter weather. 

A repeat of 2016-17 would be a warm winter for the US... especially the eastern half. But we'll have to see what happens with MJO and the Arctic.

They were correct on Winter 2021-2022, it was COLD! I'm giving a "Meh" chance for them, I'm personally thinking that there is a higher-than-normal risk of a 2011-2012 repeat (Very Mild Winter) this year.

Well, when you forecast a cold winter every winter, you're gonna get it right once in a while.
