As the June 1 Atlantic Hurricane season approaches, AccuWeather.com echoes earlier predictions by saying Atlantic basin residents can expect an active hurricane season.
AccuWeather.com predicts a total of 16 named storms–eight of which will become hurricanes–with three hitting the U.S. during the hurricane season June 1-November 30.
The assessment, subject to change as the season progresses, also calls for four major hurricanes this year. A major storm is a Category 3 or higher storm with winds in excess of 111 mph. Last year, there were 19 named storms, 10 of which became hurricanes. One became a major storm and four made landfall.
