So he says. :)

MIAMI (Reuters) - A noted hurricane forecaster on Tuesday predicted the Atlantic hurricane season will see just two more tropical storms and no more "major" hurricanes.

William Gray's forecast team at Colorado State University predicted the season will produce a total of 11 tropical storms, of which six will be hurricanes. To date, nine storms have formed and five have reached hurricane strength.

Two of the hurricanes have reached "major" status of Category 3 or higher on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, and Gray said no more will form.
