NOAA Predicts Near Normal Hurricane Season with New Forecasting Models and Technologies to Improve Accuracy
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has predicted a near-normal hurricane season for 2023, with a roughly equal chance of an average, above-average, or below-average season. The NHC predicts 12-17 named storms, 5-9 of which could become hurricanes, and 1-4 of these could be major hurricanes. Factors such as the potential for El Niño development could suppress hurricane activity, but above-normal west African monsoon formation and warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures could fuel storm development. NOAA is adopting new policies, models, and technologies to improve hurricane forecasts this year.
