NOAA Press Release: NOAA Predicts a Near Normal 2012 Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season..

Hello to all..

NOAA has announced their seasonal hurricane outlook. Similar to Dr. Gray’s Outlook and despite the recent earlier than normal activity with Alberto earlier this month and Subtropical Storm Beryl affecting portions of the Southeast United States Coast, they are forecasting a near normal Atlantic Hurricane Season. They are also predicting a near normal Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season. That being said, it only takes one tropical system to affect an area for it to be considered a big season. In 2011, Irene was the first landfalling hurricane to affect the US East Coast since 2008 making landfall as a hurricane in North Carolina and New
Jersey and affected the Northeast United States as a strong tropical storm. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida and impacted the US Gulf Coast despite the 1992
season being a below normal year.
