7 days left. Currently at 0. One current storm that will stay away from land. Two possible storms forming in the next 7 days. Physically impossible for the one in the eastern Atlantic to make landfall before the end of September.

Would take the fastest moving storm (which would also make it likely to not be a major hurricane).

37 more cases reported over the last week bringing the total to 1491 with two weeks remaining in the reporting period. With headroom of 8 it is highly improbably that the threshold isn't breached.

3 weeks left in forecast period. No major hurricanes have made land fall yet. Additionally, none currently forming - potential that something may in the next 7 days. Getting two major hurricanes to make landfall within two weeks is unprecedented.

Total went up 23 this week to 1454, leaving headspace of 45 with 3 weeks remaining. While historically 15/week in September would be high, the week after week upward revisions this summer have all exceeded 15/week.

If there are delays in reporting, changes to reporting incentives, or a major outbreak.

Why do you think you're right?
The last two weeks show 2 and 11 cases but in that time the total changed by 56, so there are significant delays in reporting. With the total now at 1431, there is headroom for 68 in the 1350-1499 category. With 4 weeks remaining in the forecast period, that is 17 or fewer cases per week. Historically this is not surpassed in September. This means that the probability of remaining below 1499 should approach 100%. The challenge is that the data collection and reporting seems erratic, meaning that there is a non-trivial chance that the 1500 threshold will be broken. Additionally, the start of school provides the unlikely possibility of a major outbreak.
Files
Why might you be wrong?
It takes just one major outbreak and school is back in session
Files
Why do you think you're right?
Currently at 1514 with one week to go.
Why might you be wrong?
There have been news reports of a major outbreak but it would need to be very large and captured quickly to break 1650.
