I know things could always change later in the season, but my point is these “predictions” have become almost meaningless. Last year, “they” overly-hyped up the number of potential landfall hurricanes as well.
Just like they “hype up” the heat index on a daily basis rather than just report the temperature. And they neglect to explain that it just a theoretical number derived from a mathematical comparison to a temperature of 81F and 40% relative humidity
