Hurricane Season Quietened by Wind Shear | Charlottesville News

AccuWeather’s hurricane forecast just got a major update—down from 11-16 named storms to just 8-11, with only 3-5 expected to hit the U.S. and 1-2 possibly becoming major hurricanes. Why the drop? A powerful El Niño is creating wind shear that’s disrupting storm formation, even as ocean temps stay unusually warm. While fewer storms are predicted, any that do form could intensify dangerously fast—leaving little time to prepare. Stay alert: even a single major storm can cause widespread damage, and heavy rain can stretch far inland. Plan ahead, no matter how quiet the forecast looks.
