"So CB where is this data coming from"

It was already predicted that this hurricane season would be quite active. NOAA is basing their calculations on the fact that hurricane season tends to be more active when there's a La Nina in the Pacific Ocean, which there is this year. So, they coupled Grey's forecast, the data from the past two seasons and La Nina and came up with their forecast. You, on the otherhand, are basing your prediction on this last hurricane season and pulling numbers out of your I've asked where you get your data and keep refusing to answer.

"Plus this puts the NOAA at odds with Grey's forecast"

No, not really. Even Dr. Grey says this will be an active season.

"...and inline with mine."

Oh, please Grant. Hardly. Next you're going to tell us they use your stupid site for their forecasts. I hope you tell us that. I could use a good laugh.
