  • William Gray's 2002 Forecast (with a mid-season update due Aug 7)--(11, 6, 2)
    2 major hurricanes: "Gray on Friday called for 11 storms to reach at least tropical storm status, with six of those becoming hurricanes and two of those major hurricanes, with top sustained winds of at least 111 mph. His December forecast had called for 13, eight and four. The historical average is 9.6, 5.9 and 2.3"

  • Here is the actual formal forecast by Wm Gray et al, as of 30 May 2002
    note also: Probabilities for at least one or more Major (Category 3-4-5) hurricane landfall on each of the following coastal areas:

    • Entire U.S. coastline - 63% (average for last century is 52%)

    • U.S. East Coast Including Peninsula Florida - 42% (average for last century is 31%)

    • Gulf Coast from the Florida Panhandle westward to Brownsville - 35% (average for last century is 30%)

    • Expected near-average major hurricane landfall risk in the Caribbean

  • National Hurricane Center Forecast 2002--(9-13, 6-8, 2-3)
    "The prediction center estimates nine to 13 tropical storms will incubate in the warm Atlantic Ocean waters this hurricane season, which runs from June 1 until the end of November. Six to eight of them will develop into hurricanes, and between two and three of those storms will grow to be major hurricanes -- storms that pack wind speeds of greater than 111 mph."
