Hurricane Season Quietening Thanks to El Niño | Fayetteville News

Colorado State University just slashed its hurricane forecast again—now predicting just nine named storms, four hurricanes, and one major hurricane, making it one of the quietest seasons in a decade. The culprit? El Niño, which is pumping up wind shear that’s shredding storm organization and blocking development in the Atlantic and Caribbean. So far, only storm Arthur has formed—and it fizzled. Any storms that do emerge are likely to pop up closer to U.S. shores, where they’ll face less time to grow into big threats. Still, even a quiet season can deliver serious damage with just one storm—so stay alert and prepared. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
