| Hurricane Forecast Downgraded Again |
| 2006-09-01 |
 DENVER - Hurricane forecaster William Gray's team downgraded its expectations for the 2006 Atlantic storm season Friday, calling for a slightly below-average year, with only five hurricanes instead of the seven previously forecast. Two of the hurricanes will be intense, according the team, based at Colorado State University. It was the second time they had downgraded their forecast in a month. |

| #5 It's 53 degrees at 8:30PM here in Colorado Springs - rather cool even for this time of year. The wind is also blowing 20kts. Hasn't been any rain to speak of, so the entire low temp meme is powered by a strong Canadian cold front. The low is supposed to be 45 - almost cool enough to turn on the furnace. It HAS snowed on the 1st of September, but not often. I don't see any snow tonight, but I do predict a colder and wetter winter than we've seen over the last six or seven years. Algore is furious and threatening to sue! |

| #4 Climate Change. And if it suddenly increases, it'll be because of Climate Change. And if it decreases again? Climate Change. Where's my federal grant? |

| #3 As easy as it is to make fun of the forecasters, I bet they learn a lot from this season to tweak their forecasting going forward - science in action. Unlike the aforementioned Chicken Littles and journalists. |

| #2 Time to get the torches and pitchforks out for the Chicken Little crowd. You like yours extra crispy? |
