If the massive number of tornadoes wreaking havoc in the Midwest weren’t enough of a danger for truckers and others, the Atlantic hurricane season gets under way Saturday and forecasters are predicting an above average number of storms.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center say the outlook for the season, which spans from June 1 to November 30, includes an 85% chance of an above-normal season. There is a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season.
