NOAA’s new hurricane forecast predicts a quiet season in the Atlantic. The Pacific won’t be as lucky
- The remaining months of the Atlantic hurricane season could be relatively quiet, a new federal prediction shows - but not everywhere is as lucky.
- There are between 2 and 6 hurricanes, 0 and 2 major hurricanes, and 7 to 13 named storms expected in the Atlantic for the rest of the year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Thursday.
- That’s a slight reduction from an initial forecast issued in May and lower than the average season, though it only takes one major storm to threaten lives.
