Well the very best guess is to go with climatology which is the historical average number of hurricanes or tropical storms or whichever group you want to consider. Go to the National Hurricane Center web page and scroll down to the climatology link. This would be my guess for 2007. Ten named storms, 6 Hurricanes two of which will be cat 3 or greater.

On December 8, 2006, Klotzbach's team issued its first extended-range forecast for the 2007 season, predicting above-average activity (14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, 3 of Category 3 or higher).[1]

The team predicted a high potential for at least one major hurricane to directly impact the United States: the forecast indicated a 64% chance of at least one major hurricane striking the U.S. mainland, which included a 40% chance of at least one major hurricane strike on the East Coast of the United States including the Florida peninsula, and a 40% chance of at least one major hurricane strike on the Gulf Coast of the United States from the Florida Panhandle westward. In addition, the potential for major hurricane activity in the Caribbean is above average. Klotzbach's team expects El Niño to dissipate by the active portion of the season.

yes, I've read somewhere that the reason why the 2006 season wasn't active is because El Nino was present over the Pacific, which means that the water in the pacific is warmer than usual and cooler in the atlantic. However this year, they said La Nina was beginning to form over the Pacific, and being that La Nina is the opposite of El NIno, it makes the pacific's water cooler, and the atlantic warmer. This increases the probability for hurricanes in the Atlantic.
