FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Hurricane forecaster William Gray
called today for seven Atlantic hurricanes, three of them
major, during the 2008 season.
Gray's team at Colorado State University issued the prediction
six months before the June-November season begins.
The preliminary forecast calls for a total of 13 named storms in
the Atlantic. It also says it is probable that at least one major
hurricane will hit the U.S. coastline.

Accuracy:
-- forecast nine hurricanes for 2007 Atlantic hurricane season
-- later lowered prediction to eight
-- six hurricanes actually formed
-- nine hurricanes predicted for 2006 season
-- five actually developed
-- in seven of the past nine years, team correctly predicted if
season would be above or below average.
