2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Guide: Here’s What to Know About This Year’s Storms

Fox Weather
North Carolina State University outlook: Unlike CSU, forecasters at NCSU released ranges of expected tropical cyclone activity but came to the same conclusion as their counterparts that it’ll be an active hurricane season. According to NCSU, 15-20 named storms are expected to form, with 10-12 that may grow into hurricanes. At least three to four hurricanes are expected to strengthen into major hurricanes.
