Dr. Philip Klotzbach a research Scientist in the Department of Atmospheric Science of Colorado State University, said he’s calling for a slightly above average season because officials don’t believe there will be a significant El Nino develop this year.
There will be 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
Klotzbach made the announcement at this morning’s National Tropical Weather Conference at South Padre Island.
In 2017, there were 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes and six major hurricanes.
