Colorado State Increases Forecast for Atlantic Storms

Colorado State University researchers raised their expectations for this year’s Atlantic hurricane season to 13 named storms, just above average.
Five of those storms may become hurricanes and two may develop into major systems, said the team, which pioneered long-range hurricane forecasting 29 years ago. Its April prediction for 10 storms, four of them hurricanes and two of them major, was increased because an El Nino pattern that would limit Atlantic storms hasn’t shown signs of forming yet.
