The predictions for the 2009 Summer Storms came out today form NOAA. In short, there is a 50% chance of an average year. Gotta love the precision on that estimate. Here is the meat and potatoes quote from the NOAA website:
"Forecasters say there is a 70 percent chance of having nine to 14 named storms, of which four to seven could become hurricanes, including one to three major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5)."
