Here are some current forecast – some projecting for no more Gulf Hurricanes, but still more for season.
The ebb in Gulf Hurricane is typicall of seasonal patterns where largest number of Gulf Hurricanes occur between Apr-Aug while Sep-Nov Hurricanes are mainly off or along East Coast. Accounts for all the pre-March & post-Oct Gulf Maint & Turnaround schedules to escape those periods.
 
And a forecast for 2010/2011 winter to be back normal vs last years snowmageddon, and lastly the storm names for 2011-2015 for Atlantic storms – current 2010 list is up to Richard the 17th for season.
 
Course the weather is the only thing that has higher track record for being wrong than Petcoke or Oil Industry price short & long term forecast!
