The official start to the Atlantic hurricane season is now just over a week away and NOAA has released their forecast numbers for the season.
NOAA is calling for a slightly above average season with 13-19 named storms, 6-10 hurricanes, and 3-5 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher)
Dr. Klotzbach, a leading tropical scientist, released his numbers earlier this year and is also calling for a slightly above average season.
Remember that this is simply a forecast on total storms and doesn't speak to out active or quiet a specific location in the Atlantic Basin will be this summer.
