While NOAA won’t issue its hurricane prediction for the coming season until some time in May, Colorado State University is predicting a very active season with 30 named storms, 11 hurricanes and 5 major (category 3-4-5) storms.
There have been more than 400 consecutive days of record warmth in the Atlantic Ocean and that trend is not expected to end. La Niña is expected to continue which will allow formation of stronger storms. Studies show that when La Niña is present there is a higher than normal risk of U.S. landfall.
