Storm outlook active
U.S. forecasters predict from 8 to 14 hurricanes

Mark Malsick jokes that his summer vacation plans are shot.
That's because the severe weather liaison for the S.C. Climate Office
doesn't like how the hurricane season is shaping up.
And neither does anyone else.
El Nino has evaporated. That's a warming trend in Pacific tropical waters
which created high- altitude winds shearing hurricanes in this hemisphere
the past few years. Meanwhile, the tropical Atlantic is warmer than it
was in 2005, the record-breaking year with a record 27 named storms
including the devastating hurricane Katrina. And hot seas make for mean
storms.
2010 Hurricane Guide Keep track of hurricanes, and learn how to be
prepared. Even the Saharan dust storms that stifle tropical storms aren't
blowing up.
The National Hurricane Center on Thursday unleashed an ominous 2010
season forecast -- 23 named tropical storms, including eight to 14
hurricanes and as many as seven major hurricanes, or hurricanes with
winds stronger than 111 mph. That's powerful enough to snap apart trees,
tear the roofs off frame-built houses and cut off water or electricity
for days if not weeks.
It's what forecasters call a hyperactive season, said Stacy Stewart, the
center's senior hurricane specialist.
On top of that, Lian Xie, the lead researcher in a North Carolina State
University team that has developed an uncannily sharp forecasting
computer model, says conditions this year suggest there's an 80 percent
chance of a storm making landfall between North Carolina and Florida, and
a 70 percent chance of a hurricane making landfall. His overall forecast,
issued in April, almost mirrors the hurricane center forecast.
"We predict a very active season," he said Thursday.
Meteorologists for AccuWeather.com, a private forecasting company, and
Phil Klotzbach, the lead researcher for hurricane guru Bill Gray's fabled
team at Colorado State University, also call for a bad season.
The official "season" opens Tuesday. The heart of the season for the
Lowcountry is August-September. But the storm that blew through earlier
this week very nearly became the first tropical cyclone of the year. So
the word is simple: Get ready. Put up emergency supplies and medicines,
work out emergency contacts with family members, have a place to go or
evacuate to a shelter.
Remember the mantra of emergency professionals: The numbers don't matter.
One storm striking makes a very bad year.
The silver lining in this dark cloud is its uncertainty. It's too soon to
say whether the steering currents will drive hurricanes either into the
Caribbean Sea or up into the North Atlantic. Forecasters won't have a
good read on that until July, Stewart said.
"What the latest predictions do not say is that the North Atlantic,
Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico are very, very large areas. With the
current science where it is, equating a busy hurricane season to a likely
or not-likely South Carolina landfall is at best sketchy," Malsick said.
The year Hurricane Hugo wreaked havoc on the Lowcountry, 1989, was just a
slightly above average season when compared to the historic 2004 and 2005
seasons, he said. "However, given the prospect of a higher number of
storms, it is much easier to plan and prepare now for a hurricane that
could take aim at South Carolina than to start preparing after the call
for mandatory coastal evacuation is given."
