Hurricane Storm Forecast Slashed By Experts
Based on activity so far, the Atlantic hurricane season has been tame. One reason is probably that what was supposed to be a period of historically warm waters in the North Atlantic never materialized.
Today, AccuWeather sharply cut its forecasts for the current season. —
“ AccuWeather is the first known source to reduce the forecast for number of named storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes during the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season.”
New Forecasts
AccuWeather is now forecasting;
16-20 named storms
6-10 hurricanes
3-6 major hurricanes
4-6 direct impacts to the United States
The news opens the door for criticism of the weather forecasting industry, both private and agencies that are part of the government. While it is difficult to forecast an entire season, the sophisticated physics-based forecast systems are extremely advanced.
New Tools
As AI-based forecasts enter the industry, it may be that current tools are bested.
