Hurricanes season preview

As we are just one month away from the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, I figured that I might as well write a little preview from my view on this upcoming season. This season begins on June 1st and ends on November 30 th. As we begin the La Nina the season which typically means the advancement of warmer water in the Atlantic a little earlier in the season, which mean a longer range of storms. Most storms at the beginning of the season develop closer to the shoreline because the lack of warm life giving and sustained water in points closer to the Africa. We will see these temps warm up quicker I believe this year. The temps will give us the longer season which means more storms in the basin. Which if their are more storms present the likelihood of landfall become more likely. So here is what I say:

13 named storms (Tropical Storms - Hurricane); 10 normal

(Tropical storms are sustained winds of 39 mph or higher)

7 of these storms will become Hurricanes; 6 normal

(Hurricanes are 74 MPH or higher)

3 Major Hurricanes

(Major Hurricanes have winds in excess of 111 MPH)
