Colorado State Running Out of Money for Hurricane Forecasting

Colorado State University, which pioneered seasonal hurricane forecasting 30 years ago, may have issued its last prediction. The school’s Tropical Meteorological Project needs $150,000 or it will end in February, said Phil Klotzbach, lead author of the forecast. William Gray, professor emeritus of atmospheric science, was the first to predict how many storms would form in the Atlantic during the ocean’s six-month hurricane season.
