2007 hurricanes below the forecast

From Times Wire Reports

The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season was less active than forecasters thought it would be, with six hurricanes developing instead of the nine predicted, a top weather researcher said in Fort Collins.

Cooler water and the presence of wind shears in the central tropical Atlantic made this an average season instead of the above-average year the team expected, said Philip J. Klotzbach, a member of researcher William M. Gray’s team at Colorado State University.
