This is my annual Hurricane Season Forecast for the Atlantic Basin. It is a new decade, so the averages have been updated. I expect this season to be another very active and impactful season with above average storms and landfalls on the both the Gulf and East coasts. Here in New England we had 2 Tropical Storm impacts last year and I think we have an average chance of a Hurricane landfall this year.
Review of Facts:
A Tropical Storm (TS) needs winds of at least 39 MPH to be named.
Hurricane Categories:
Category 1: Winds of 74-95 MPH
Cat 2: Winds of 96-110 MPH

Cat 5: Winds of 156+ MPH
