Florida State Scientists Use Unique Model to Predict Active Hurricane Season

"Florida State University scientists who have developed a unique computer model with a knack for predicting hurricanes with unprecedented accuracy are forecasting an unusually active season this year.

Associate Scholar Scientist Tim LaRow and his colleagues at FSU's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) say there will be an average of 17 named storms with 10 of those storms developing into hurricanes in the Atlantic this season, which began June 1, and runs through Nov. 30. The historical seasonal average is 11 tropical storms with six of them becoming hurricanes."
