2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season Predictions

The 2017 Atlantic Ocean hurricane season could have an above-normal number of hurricanes this year. The Climate Prediction Center at NOAA predicts a 70% likelihood of 5 to 9 hurricanes with 2 to 4 of them being major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5).

2017 Hurricane Season Outlook

Strong wind shear reduces the development of the number and strength of tropical storms that grow into hurricanes, whereas weak wind shear increases hurricane development. There is a significantly reduced upper atmosphere wind shear predicted for the 2017, which points to more numerous and stronger hurricanes this season.
