SPECIAL: 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast

 This year I am expecting about an average Hurricane Season. However, I still expect many landfalls in the US this summer. And most storms should form early in the season, before tapering off later in the year. This year I expect New England to have a below average chance of a landfalling Hurricane.

A Tropical Storm (TS) needs winds of at least 39 MPH to be given a name.
