Researchers maintain an active Atlantic hurricane season forecast

WEATHER 06/11

ORLANDO, Fla. — Researchers at Colorado State University have updated their forecast for the Atlantic hurricane season, maintaining their initial outlook from April.

They continue to expect an active season with above-normal activity, likely coming close to, but not exceeding, the storm totals of 2024. So far, the season has been quiet due to a mix of dry, dusty air and increased wind shear, which have hindered storm development.

Typically, June is not an active month for hurricanes; however, with warm waters still present, we will closely monitor the summer months and the peak of the season in September.
