TL;DR Summary

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted a "near normal" Atlantic hurricane season, with 12 to 17 named storms and five to nine of those becoming hurricanes. However, high sea-surface temperatures and a likely El Niño could complicate the forecast. Climate change has contributed to warmer ocean temperatures, which fuel more intense storms. NOAA will soon unveil new modeling and computing capabilities to improve its forecasting abilities.
