There is an above-average possibility that a major hurricane will make landfall in the U.S. next year a leading weather expert said today.
Colorado State University Professor William Gray and his team of forecasters also announced they foresee an above average Atlantic-basin tropical cyclone season in 2007.
The CSU Tropical Meteorology Project predicts seven hurricanes and 14 named storms next year. "The probability of U.S. major hurricane landfall is estimated to be about 125 percent of the 1950-2000 average," the report stated.
