  • The 2020 season kicked off with nine named storms by July 30, a record number.
    The Atlantic hurricane season roared off to a stormy and record-breaking start this year, with nine named storms forming by July 30. And it's shaping up to be one of the more active seasons on record, according to experts with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

    Today (Aug. 6), NOAA researchers delivered an update to their hurricane season outlook, initially presented on May 21. The new outlook predicts an 85% chance of above normal activity, compared to the May prediction of a 60% chance.

    NOAA models showed that the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season could bring up to 25 named storms — the highest number ever predicted by NOAA — with winds of at least 39 mph (63 km/h). Of those, nine to 11 storms could be hurricanes with winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h) and as many as six storms could be major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph (179 km/h) or higher, according to NOAA's lead hurricane season forecaster Gerry Bell.
