In another AP hit job on Professor William Gray the AP questions the importance of long range hurricane forecasts, and for proof of their assertion they interviewed OEM's along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, all of them who unilaterally agreed that long term hurricane forecasts are of little use... to them.
But there is a large global community that relies heavily on these forecasts. That is the group Congressional Democrats and other ill informed persons like to refer to as "Big Oil." Trans-Atlantic shipping, cross-Gulf shipping, off-shore oil and gas rigs, and a good portion of refineries are all potentially affected by hurricanes. So predictions of high hurricanes traditionally impact crude future prices.
Accurrate long range prediction data, not influenced by the Cult of Global Warming is essential, unless you like paying more for gas.
(Some may note the passive-agressive reporting that AP and the New York Times is adopting. On the surface it appears as though they are fair, but in reading the article does it becomes obvious that after calling Gray a wizard they try to punch holes in his work that these hack reporters have no concept of so they cannot fairly critique or for that matter report on.)
