Atlantic Disturbance Watch: Hurricane Season Approaches.

The Atlantic hurricane season starts on June 1, but forecasters are already monitoring a system in the Atlantic with a low chance of developing into a tropical system over the next 2 to 7 days. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will issue its first forecast for this year’s Atlantic hurricane season on Thursday. Colorado State University is calling for slightly below-average activity, in large part due to current neutral conditions for the El Niño Southern Oscillation. However, El Niño is expected to develop in the Pacific over the next couple of months, which could have significant impacts on how hurricane season unfolds.
