Slightly Above-Average Hurricane Season Forecast For 2018
Colorado State University's preliminary seasonal forecast is out, and as of now they're predicting a slightly above average 2018 Hurricane Season.
One of the main reasons for this is because the western tropical Atlantic is uncommonly warm right now according to forecasters.
Also being predicted is that at least one major hurricane will make landfall somewhere on the continental United States.
