Why do you think you're right?
As of 9/16, there have been 1,491 measles cases, so we are right on the line between buckets. It's very likely that there will be more than 9 cases in the next two weeks.

Why might you be wrong?
The last week of data only reported 1 case. If that holds, we will not cross over.

Revising my initial forecast based on the time that has passed and the time remaining. Statistically, September 10th is the peak of hurricane season, so the fact that we have not seen major hurricanes until now does not give us useful information on what to expect from the next few weeks, especially since hurricane activity is expected to accelerate in the second half of September. I wish the buckets had been structured as <1, 1, 2, 2+ to make this a little more interesting. There has been only one instance of two separate category 3+ hurricanes making landfall in the continental United States in the second half of September (Ivan and Jeanne in 2004). Thus, one shouldn't rule out the between 2 and 3 bucket completely at this point (9/12).

Why might you be wrong?
It is still possible, if extremely unlikely, for there to be two major hurricanes that make landfall in the next few weeks.
