June marks the official beginning to hurricane season; however, forecasters are not predicting a severe season this year, but a few major storms could still threaten the Atlantic coast.

The nation’s top hurricane forecasters predict a near-normal season, with nine to 15 named storms.

Experts say four to eight hurricanes could form in the Atlantic.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says this year’s season won’t likely be as violent as last year’s above-average season when hurricanes Florence and Michael slammed the US, killing nearly 100 people and causing billions of dollars in damage.

But they are warning that two to four hurricanes could still grow to Category 3 or stronger.

El Nino the periodic weather event characterized by warming ocean temperatures tends to weaken hurricanes, but that could change if the weather is warmer.

Weather officials say El Nino has a 55 to 60-percent chance of continuing through the fall.
