After destructive Atlantic hurricanes in 2018, a 'slightly below-average' season of 13 named storms is forecast this hurricane season, according to a forecast released Thursday.
After destructive Atlantic hurricanes in 2018, a"slightly below-average" season is projected for this hurricane season, according to a forecast released Thursday.
Forecasters put the probability of major hurricanes making landfall along the U.S. East Coast, including the Florida Peninsula, at 28 percent and noted that is below the average of 31 percent for the last century. It said there's a 39 percent probability of a major hurricane making landfall in the Caribbean, again slightly below average for the last century.
"1987, 1991, 2002 and 2009 had below-average Atlantic hurricane activity, while 1969 was a very active hurricane season," said Phil Klotzbach, a research scientist in CSU's Department of Atmospheric Science and the lead author of the forecast report. "El Nino tends to increase upper-level westerly winds across the Caribbean into the tropical Atlantic, tearing apart hurricanes as they try to form," the forecast said.
