The Colorado State University tropical weather outlook calls for 13 named storms, six of which could become hurricanes with at least 74 mph winds. Phil Klotzbach, the lead author of the forecast, said that two of the hurricanes could be major.
FOX Weather's Brian Norcross explains Colorado State University's initial predictions for the 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season. CSU's prediction is that there will potentially be a below average season.
"It's certainly looking like we have the potential for potentially a pretty robust El Niño event this summer and fall," he said. "However, at the same time, the Atlantic right now, in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic, is really, really warm."Warmer than average water temperatures are one of the main ingredients that can lead to enhanced organization and tropical cyclone formation.
"Seasonal forecasts issued in April are iffy because the future state of El Niño is always uncertain. It slowly becomes clearer closer to summer. And this year, the forecast is even less certain than normal because a strong, hurricane-limiting El Niño is just one of a range of possibilities, which include a fairly busy season," Norcross said.
