NOAA forecasts a 55% chance of a below-normal season, a 35% chance of a near-normal season and a 10% chance of an above-normal season. The agency expects eight to 14 named storms, with winds of 39 mph or greater, of which three to six could become hurricanes with winds of at least 74 mph. One to three of those could become major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or greater. An average Atlantic season has 14 named storms, with seven hurricanes, including three major hurricanes. El Niño is expected to develop and intensify during the season, while Atlantic Ocean temperatures are expected to be slightly warmer than normal and trade winds weaker than average, NOAA said. El Niño conditions tend to suppress hurricane activity, while warmer ocean temperatures and weaker winds tend to support a more active season. “Although El Niño’s impact in the Atlantic Basin can often suppress hurricane development, there is still uncertainty in how each season will unfold,” NOAA’s National Weather Service Director Ken Graham said in a statement. Researchers at Colorado State University on April 9 also called for a below-average Atlantic hurricane season, citing expected development of El Niño conditions. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.
