2018 HURRICANE SEASON

ACCUWEATHER'S DAN KOTTOWSKI

After the 2017 devastating hurricane season, AccuWeather predicts a slightly above

normal season with 12 to 15 tropical storms , 6 to 8 which will become hurricanes, with at

least 3 major hurricanes.

Sea temperatures at the surface are expected to be warmer that normal which will create

favorable conditions for tropical development. Another Harvey, Irma or Maria like last

year will be more than enough to cause catastrophic damage.

The Gulf of Mexico is already ripe for early season development and the projected

pattern from Houston to Florida, up through the Outer Banks, make for more

favorable impacts.

Everyone should be vigilant and prepared, with a hurricane plan in action. Always prepare

for the worst case scenario and listen to the officials.
