2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast Updated

Dr. William Gray and his staff have made slight modifications to their earlier forecast for the 2009 Hurricane Season. The new forecast decreases the expected tropical activity in 2009. The first forecast issued back in December called for 14 named storms, which has now been reduced to 12. The number of hurricanes forecast has been reduced from 7 to 6, and the number of major hurricanes (category 3 or higher) from 3 to 2. These numbers equate to a near-average season of tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin.
