NOAA's Atlantic hurricane season forecast update agrees with earlier forecasts of a season with fewer named storms than historical averages in 2015.
NOAA, which released its final forecast update of the season Thursday, calls for a 90 percent likelihood of:
- 6-10 named storms (including three tropical storms that formed earlier in the season: Ana, Bill, and Claudette)
- 1-4 of which would become hurricanes
- 0-1 of which would become major hurricanes – those of at least Category 3 strength on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
- 1-4 of which would become hurricanes
- 0-1 of which would become major hurricanes – those of at least Category 3 strength on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
This is below the 30-year average of 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
