For 2008 - NOAA Predicts a Near Normal or Above Normal Atlantic Hurricane Season. The outlook indicates a 65% chance of 12 to 16 named storms,
including 6 to 9 hurricanes and  2 to 5 major hurricanes. An average season has 11 named storms, including 6 hurricanes for which 2 reach major status. This
outlook is a general guide and does not predict where or when any storms may hit land. That's the job of the National Hurricane Center after a storm forms.
2008 Named Tropical Storms and Hurricanes  Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Genevieve, Edouard, Fay, Gustav, Iselle

The Atlantic hurricane season officially is from June 1st through November 30th.
DID YOU KNOW -  Many factors must be present for a hurricane to develop, they include:
Ocean temperature must be a minimum of 80 degrees to a depth of at least 150 feet.
The lower layer of the atmosphere (troposphere) must contain a large degree of high humidity.
The difference of the wind speed between the lower and upper atmospheres must not exceed 20 miles per hour.
Thunderstorm activity must be present to start the circular spinning action and create an upward flow of air.
Wind speed begins to speed up near the center of the thunderstorm center, and if barometric pressure drops, more air is sucked up into the core of the storm and wind velocity begins to increase. If wind speed increases to 74mph (the minimum velocity for hurricane classification), an "eye" will generally begin to form, giving birth to a hurricane.
