An above-normal Atlantic hurricane season is expected, according to forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
How do you prepare for a hurricane if you can't evacuate? What you need in an emergency survival kit, including a battery-powered radio.season, forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced on Thursday.
There's a 30% chance of a near-normal season and just a 10% chance of a below-normal season, according to NOAA.Forecasters say we'll likely see 13 to 19 named storms this season, of which six to 10 may become hurricanes -- which means they'll be strong enough to reach winds of 74 mph or higher. Of those, three to six are forecast to become major hurricanes, with Category 3, 4 or 5 strength -- which means they'll have winds of 111 mph or higher.Wilfredo Lee/AP
An average hurricane season has 12 named storms, including six that become hurricanes and three major hurricanes.Several factors are contributing to this forecast: El Nino conditions are expected to be neutral or to trend toward La Nina, meaning El Nino won't be present to subdue hurricanes, NOAA said.
For the Central Pacific -- which covers Hawaii -- this year's hurricane season is forecast to be near-normal to below-normal, NOAA said. That season also runs June 1 to November 30.
