Forecasters say there is a 70 percent chance of having 12 to 18 named storms, of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes, including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5). These ranges encompass the entire season, which ends November 30. The NOAA encourages preparedness for each and every season regardless of the seasonal outlook For details on predictions visit The NOAA Website.
