-"We expect the remainder of the season to be active. The conditions in the Pacific are transitioning to a weak La Nina. We have seen low pressure readings in the tropical Atlantic during August. The combination of these two factors usually implies an active season."
Phil Klotzbach, lead author of the Colorado State University hurricane forecast, said in a statement. CSU said it expects "above-average" activity for the final three months of the 2007 Atlantic storm season, with five named storms predicted for September and another five in two-month period beginning October 1.
