We've already had 14 named storms, the average for the entire Atlantic hurricane season
We’ve already had 14 named storms, the average for an entire Atlantic hurricane season, even though there are still 77 days left.
Hurricane Nicholas made landfall in Texas early Tuesday morning as the eighth landfalling storm for the United States.
WRAL meteorologist Aimee Wilmoth said, out of the 14 storms, five were hurricanes and three were major hurricanes.
We are approaching the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2021 forecast for the Atlantic season, which predicted 13 to 20 named storms and 6 to 10 hurricanes. The prediction of 3 to 5 major hurricanes has already been met and could be exceeded, as September and October are historially active months.
The Atlantic season peaked on Friday and officially ends Nov. 30.
