So Much For Michael Mann's 34 Named Tropical Storms

Hurricane Season 2024 wrap-up. It is amazing how many of the global warming alarmists' forecast fail. If they can't even get close the number of tropical storms six months ahead, don't put a lot of faith in their 60-year forecasts. 

After All of the Absurd Hype Last Week

Following up on yesterday's blog posting ...... Phil, with Colorado State U, is one of the foremost hurricane forecast experts in the United States.  Above from  Washington Post  last week. The X  (below) denotes an "area of disorganized thunderstorms" the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has followed, starting early last week, almost all the way across the Atlantic.

If a tropical system forms, I do not believe there is a significant risk to the United States' coast before Saturday. However, if you do not have your hurricane season 2024 supplies as yet, now would be a good time.
