ORANGE COUNTY -- The three-day National Hurricane Conference wrapped up Friday with some noted hurricane experts talking about the upcoming season.

Dr. William Gray, Dr. Phil Klotzbach and the rest of the team from Colorado State University spoke to the meteorologists and emergency managers at the conference.

They said their prediction of 13 named storms and seven hurricanes will probably be raised next week as there are signs of a more active season.

However, they do warn the predictions are just that.

"Basically all we can do at this point is just watch and wait and see what's going to happen," said Klotzbach.

This was the second time in the past three years the event was held in Orlando. The event will be held in Austin, Texas next year.
