Why do you think you're right?
  • No storm has made landfall with major hurricane status in the US yet this season (9/10/25)
  • As of 9/10, there is one system in the Atlantic that has a low chance of cyclone development (~20%) in the next 7 days
Files
Why might you be wrong?
  • Hurricanes do not need long to form/intensify into a Cat 3+. Less than a year ago Hurricane Helene struck Florida as a Cat 4 within 4 days of development starting

Why do you think you're right?
  • Updated forecast after source correction... 1431 cases as of 9/2 is slightly higher than my previous source, with a weekly rate higher than before seen. I still think the curve flattening will keep us below 1500 through the end of September, but 1500+ confirmed cases seem more likely than previously thought
Files
Why might you be wrong?
  • Lags in reporting, outbreaks, back to school, etc. could easily boost numbers

Why do you think you're right?
  • Dramatic slowdown started over summer, with Texas outbreak declared over
  • 1414 cases as of 9/2... current trend would keep count below 1500 by 9/30
  • Already above 1349 cases, so no chance that is happening
  • Even with a new outbreak, it is unlikely to reach 1650+ cases by 9/30
Files
Why might you be wrong?
  • Schools back in session could cause an outbreak to restart
  • Outbreaks can pop up anywhere at any time, especially in places with low vaccination rates
  • There could be a lag in case counting/reporting... a resolve before 9/30 could boost confirmed case counts
