2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Experts Predict Increase in Storms.

Hurricane experts at Colorado State University have increased their numbers on tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic Basin this hurricane season, calling for 15 named storms, seven of which could become hurricanes with at least 74-mph winds, and three of which could be major with winds of at least 111 mph. The probability of a U.S. major hurricane landfall is estimated to be near the long-period average of a 43% chance. The university said that while they anticipate a robust El Niño for the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, the tropical and subtropical Atlantic have continued to anomalously warm to near-record levels.
