    Urges residents in hurricane-prone areas to be preparedThe
    Atlantic basin is expected to see an above-normal hurricane season this year,
    according to the seasonal outlook issued by NOAA’s
    Climate Prediction Center
    – a division of the National Weather
    Service
    .
    Across
    the entire Atlantic Basin for the six-month season, which begins June 1, NOAA is
    predicting the following ranges this year:

    • 12 to 18 named storms
      (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which:
    • 6 to 10 could become
      hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including:
    • 3 to 6 major
      hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or
      higher)

    Each of
    these ranges has a 70 percent likelihood, and indicate that activity will exceed
    the seasonal average of 11 named storms, six hurricanes and two major
    hurricanes.
