The good news is that AccuWeather is predicting fewer Atlantic hurricanes than usual for this season. The bad news is that there still will be three bad ones – and one really deadly one.
AccuWeather reports that warming temperatures in the Pacific will send strong westerlies to tropical areas of the Atlantic that will slow the development of hurricanes. Still, the hurricane season, from June 1 through Nov. 30, will see ten named storms – five less than last year – threatening the East Coast. Three of those five will be major hurricanes. And at least one will be a high-impact storm, similar to Hurricane Matthew last year, which was responsible for 585 deaths.
