NOAA CHIMES IN WITH THEIR PREDICTION FOR THE SEASON
The researchers at NOAA have announced their thoughts about the 2006 hurricane season and are calling for another "very active" season. The total number of named storms could be as high as 16 with as many as 10 hurricanes forming. Perhaps the more alarming number is the amount of intense, or category three and higher, hurricanes; NOAA is predicting four to six of those. It is the intense or major hurricanes that result in 80% of the damage that we see. Last year, four major hurricanes hit the United States- with Katrina being the worst. Dennis, Rita and Wilma were also major hurricanes and each of them left a legacy of destruction in their wakes.
NOAA is urging Americans to be ready for this season and has launced a National Hurricane Preparedness Week in other to facilitate that goal..

Hurricanes: Category 6 listing possible
MIAMI, May 22 (UPI) -- With some scientists saying global warming is causing an increasing frequency and strength of hurricanes, there is a call for a new category of storms.
In fact, ABC News says there have already been hurricanes strong enough to qualify as Category 6 -- having sustained winds of more than 175 or 180 mph.
The current scale defines storms with sustained winds between 74 and 95 mph as Category 1 hurricanes, Category 2 has sustained winds from 96 to 110 mph, Category 3 has sustained winds from 111 to 130 mph, Category 4 has sustained winds between 131 and 155 mph, and a Category 5 storm has sustained winds greater than 155 mph.
A Category 6 storm would have wind speeds greater than 175 or 180 mph.
U.S. government forecasters at the National Hurricane Forecast Center in Miami didn't well predict the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, partly because of their unfamiliarity with global warming.
In May 2005, NOAA predicted the Atlantic would see 12 to 15 named tropical storms. There were 28. The experts forecast seven to nine storms would become hurricanes but 15 reached that level.

En we kunnen nu officieel melden dat het ' Amerikaanse ' Stormenseizoen nu echt is begonnen met de eerste storm van het seizoen: ALETTA is een feit.
Weliswaar zit deze storm aan de Pacifische kant van de VS, maar het is en blijft de eerste storm van het seizoen en dat al voor 1 juni...
MEXICO CITY — Aletta became the first tropical storm of the season in the eastern Pacific on Saturday when it formed about 100 miles south of the Mexican coastal resort of Acapulco.
Forecasters predicted it would head toward land but later change direction, skirt the coast and head out to sea.
Mexico issued a tropical storm watch for a 240-mile stretch of coast from Punta Maldonado to Zihuatanejo, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami reported.
Tropical Storm Aletta had winds of about 40 mph and was expected to reach wind speeds as high as 60 mph. Forecasters were predicting heavy rainfall to the Mexican coast.
The storm was moving north at about 7 mph, but forecasters did not expect it to reach the coast before turning back out to sea.

Hier nog een opmerking die ik van Amerikaanse nieuwssites haalde
=
Zelfs de Amerikanen schenken ineens massale aandacht aan ons kleine landje na een opmerking over de zeespiegelstijging van ca 14 inch in 2050 (ca 35 cm)
=======================
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Dutch can expect wetter winters and a threatening rise in sea levels of up to 14 inches by 2050, said a report Tuesday by the National Weather Service.
While many countries discuss global warming and greenhouse gas emissions as theories, the Dutch see climate change as a matter of survival demanding concrete action.
"Sixty percent of our country lies beneath sea level, so the effect of a rise in the level of the oceans is very noticeable," said Melanie Schultz van Haegen, the secretary of transport and water, after receiving the report from the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute known by its Dutch acronym KNMI.
But she said there was "no acute danger" to the country's sea defenses, which are among the best in the world.
The Dutch earmark more than $1.2 billion annually — around 1 percent of the national budget — to maintain and improve the dikes, dunes, pumps, sluices and windmills that work constantly to keep the country dry.
Those defenses must take into account the consequences of global warming, but Schultz van Haegen said it could be done within existing spending plans
KNMI put forward a range of scenarios it thought were strong enough to base policy on, using measurements and modeling by its own scientists as well as the most recent international studies.
It predicted an increase in average temperature in the Netherlands of at 1.8 degrees to 3.6 degrees by 2050, compared with 1990, and a rise in sea level by 6 inches to 14 inches.
"If you plan a children's birthday party in the Netherlands in July, you know it can be great weather, but you can also have a cloudburst. If you're prudent, you're prepared for both scenarios," said KNMI climate expert Gerbrand Komen, presenting the findings. "It can also snow in July, but you don't really need to plan for it," he said.
The report says rainfall will likely increase by 4-14 percent in the winter, and intense cloudbursts will become more common in the summer. But scientists cannot predict whether overall summer rain will decrease or increase, he said.
The history of the Netherlands, whose very name means "the low-lying countries," has been shaped by its struggle to cope with excess water, beginning before Roman times. The country's economic heart lies in the delta where the Rhine and Maas rivers meet the North Sea.
Since a 1953 flood that killed 1,800 people, sea defenses have been engineered to withstand any storm but the biggest predicted once every 10,000 years. River dikes are supposed to hold against a sustained rainfall statistically likely every 250 years.
By comparison, New Orleans' levies were designed against storms up to those likely to occur once in 100 years.
But even with global warming, the North Sea is not expected to generate storms the size or intensity of Hurricane Katrina.
Schultz van Haegen said she expected the European Union to agree on flood cooperation guidelines in July.
"Problems can't be pushed off on lower-lying countries, but each country must undertake a package of measures to take care of rain that falls in its borders," she said.
In April, the Dutch government said it expected to meet its Kyoto Protocol targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Under the treaty, the Netherlands must cut greenhouse gas output 6 percent by 2012, from 1990 levels

Study: Hurricanes go stronger due to Human Pollution
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Kerry Emanuel sparked a debate among his colleagues last year when he published a paper that linked global warming to the trend of increasingly stronger Atlantic Ocean hurricanes observed in recent decades.
In a study to be published soon, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology climatologist will make another bold claim: The cycling of hurricane activity from high to low, which some scientists have attributed to a natural cycle in global weather patterns, is in fact caused by the rise and fall of pollution released by humans.
Furthermore, Emanuel, along with Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University, contend that the microscopic aerosol particles, which reflect sunlight and cool the atmosphere, have been masking the effect of global warming on Atlantic Ocean hurricanes for several decades. The researchers say that it is only in recent decades, as aerosol emissions from North America and Europe have declined due to clean air standards, that the full impact of greenhouse gas emissions on hurricane strength has been realized.
Meanwhile, other new research by Purdue University scientists supports Emanuel’s original finding and extends it to the entire globe.
Together, the two new studies suggest that hurricanes, known as cyclones elsewhere, are getting stronger all over the planet and that humans play a role in the change
Stronger cyclones worldwide
Research done by Matthew Huber and Ryan Sriver at Purdue University in Indiana independently verifies and expands upon Emanuel’s 2005 study, which showed that hurricanes in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans had increased in duration and intensity by about 50 percent since the 1970s. Emanuel linked the trend to rising sea surface temperatures, or SSTs, caused in part by global warming.
"We used a different technique and different data than Dr. Emanuel, who looked specifically at the Atlantic and western Pacific oceans, whereas we looked at the entire world," Huber said. "Nevertheless, we got the same results that he did, the same basic trends."
The researchers used surface wind and temperature records from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts 40 Year Reanalysis Project to estimate the total wind output of tropical cyclones worldwide from 1958 to 2001. Called the "globally integrated tropical cyclone power dissipation," this value represents the potential damage that a storm can cause.
The Purdue study marks the first time this value has been calculated on a global scale. It found that tropical cyclone activity has doubled over the past 40 years with only a quarter degree Celsius of tropical ocean warming. This is cause for concern, the researchers say, because scientists expect a two-degree warming over the course of the next century.
"The signal that we looked at is a measure of not only the intensity but also the duration of the storm," Sriver told LiveScience. "What we've seen is an increase in strength and duration but not necessarily in the number of storms."

FIRST NAMED STORM ON THE WAY? IT'S POSSIBLE
The NHC is talking more about the possibility of tropical cyclone formation in or near the NW Caribbean Sea. We have a large area of showers and thunderstorms in the region and it has persisted for several days. Most of the global computer models develop this system and bring it northward in to the Gulf of Mexico. Whether or not this happens and how strong it will get are questions that cannot be answered right now. The good news is that it is only early June and environmental conditions are not conducive for a powerful hurricane to form out of this. Let's hope that remains the case- as we know, anything can happen. But the data right now indicates a slowly developing low pressure area that could become a tropical storm over time. Beyond that, we will just have to sit back and wait. I will post more here later this afternoon.

Boven het noordwesten van de Caribische Zee is de eerste tropische depressie van dit jaar tot ontwikkeling gekomen. Weerkundigen waarschuwen voor zware buien en overstromingen in delen van Cuba, de Kaaimaneilanden en het westen van Florida. De depressie ontwikkelt zich de komende uren mogelijk tot een tropische storm.
Vorig jaar werd het gebied geteisterd door hevige orkanen, die meer dan duizend levens eisten en voor grote schade zorgden. Ook voor 2006 is een zwaar orkaanseizoen voorspeld.

First tropical depression of ’06 heads for Fla.
Weather system expected to be first named storm of hurricane season
The first tropical depression of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane system could make landfall near Florida.
MIAMI - A tropical depression in the Caribbean headed toward Florida on Saturday and was expected to become the first named storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season.
The depression formed earlier in the day, nine days after the official start of the season, but the poorly organized system was not expected to become a hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center.
“It will be relatively weak in terms of wind, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be weak in terms of rainfall,” senior hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart said.
The system, which had maximum sustained wind near 35 mph, would be named Alberto if it reaches the 39 mph threshold for a tropical storm.
At 11 p.m. EDT, the depression was centered over the Eastern Gulf of Mexico about 290 miles west southwest of Key West, Fla., or about 440 miles south of Apalachicola, Fla., forecasters said. It was moving north-northwest near 9 mph.
The hurricane center recommended tropical storm warnings for the Cuban provinces of Pinar Del Rio and the Isle of Youth.
Over the next three days, the system is expected to move through the Yucatan Channel into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, then toward Florida where it could make landfall Monday or Tuesday somewhere between South Florida and the western tip of the Panhandle, forecasters said.
The depression’s outer rainbands stretched Saturday to the southern tip of Florida, and heavy rain was forecast over the state’s Gulf Coast and the Florida Keys through Monday.
'The media overplays this'
State officials pleaded with residents to update their hurricane preparedness plans but most shrugged at the news.
“The media overplays this, they get people very scared,” said Tim Roberts, a Fort Lauderdale condo owner who was visiting Tallahassee. “Sure, when the time comes to be alarmed, yes, but don’t make more out of it until it’s time.”
Scientists predict the 2006 season could produce up to 16 named storms, six of them major hurricanes.
Last year’s hurricane season was the busiest and most destructive in recorded history. Hurricane Katrina alone devastated Louisiana and Mississippi and was blamed for more than 1,570 deaths in Louisiana alone.
Mike Martino lost his Navarre Beach home twice in the past two hurricane seasons — first to Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and never got to move into a new home built on the same lot because Hurricane Dennis wiped it out in 2005. Instead of rebuilding again, he moved to the mainland.
Martino, who rents kayaks, bikes and surfboards out of his store in Navarre Beach, worried that the weather would do more economic damage than property damage.
“I know that we have weather coming, so I can’t have weekly rentals, it’s all going to have to be done by the day,” he said.
Last year's season was busiest ever
The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the busiest in 154 years of storm tracking, with records set for the number of named storms (28) and hurricanes (15). Forecasters used up their list of 21 proper names (beginning with Arlene and ending with Wilma) and had to use the Greek alphabet to name storms for the first time.
Meteorologists have said the Atlantic is not as warm as it was at this time in 2005, meaning potential storms would have less of the energy needed to develop into hurricanes.
Atlantic hurricane seasons were relatively mild from the 1970s through 1994. Since then, all but two years have been above normal. Experts say the ocean is in the midst of a 20-year-cycle that will continue to bring strong storms.
From 1995 to 2005, the Atlantic season averaged 15 named storms, just over eight named hurricanes and four major hurricanes, according to the hurricane center. From 1971 to 1994, there were an average of 8.5 named storms, five hurricanes and just over one major hurricane. The Atlantic hurricane season ends Nov. 30.

Alberto Strengthens Up
TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- The first named storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season slightly strengthened early Monday in the Gulf of Mexico, prompting forecasters to issue tropical storm warnings for Florida's west coast.
Tropical Storm Alberto had maximum sustained wind near 50 mph but was not likely to grow into a hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said. There were no major reports of damage.
At 5 a.m. EDT, Alberto was centered about 275 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola. It was moving north-northeast at about 8 mph and could make landfall Tuesday night, forecasters said.

70mph is toch bijna orkaankracht?
Categorie 1: windsnelheden tussen 118 en 152 kilometer per uur.
70 mph is 110 kilometer per uur
Alberto zal overigens geen orkaan worden, de autoriteiten in Florida hebben de orkaanwaarschuwing ingetrokken
