NOAA predicts 'above average' 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Scientists say there could be 13 to 19 named storms, 3 to 6 major hurricanes
We could be in for an above average hurricane season.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said on Thursday it's predicting an "above average" 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season with 13 to 19 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes, and 3 to 6 major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or greater.
The season officially starts on June 1 and runs until Nov. 30.
NOAA scientists said warmer than average water temperatures and a weaker El Nino will increase the likelihood of an above average hurricane season.
We've already had one named storm this year. Over the weekend, Tropical Storm Arthur formed near the Bahamas and brought rain to parts of South Florida.
