Quiet Atlantic Hurricane Season Ahead | Washington DC News

NOAA predicts a quiet Atlantic hurricane season this year, with a 55% chance of below-normal activity thanks to a strengthening El Niño—expected to suppress storm formation by boosting wind shear. Colorado State University agrees, cutting its forecast to just nine named storms, four hurricanes, and one major hurricane, far below the seasonal average. While the odds are low, experts warn even one storm can cause massive damage. So far, only two storms have made landfall, and ocean temperatures remain cool, further limiting fuel for development. The U.S. coast still faces a 16% chance of a major hurricane strike.
