Sixteen named storms, including eight hurricanes, are forecast for the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, according to early predictions released Thursday by experts at Colorado State University.
Four of the hurricanes will become major storms of Category 3 to 5, with sustained winds of at least 111 mph, the projections indicate for the season that runs from June 1 to November 30.
The chance that at least one major hurricane will make landfall in 2020 along the US coastline is 69%, compared with an average over the last century of 52%, researchers said. There is a 95% chance -- the average is 84% -- that at least one hurricane this year will make landfall in the US.
"The last season with four or more major hurricanes was the record damage-causing year of 2017 that saw Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria," CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller said. "All caused significant damage in the US and Caribbean."

All seasons are predicted as “above normal” because of that horrific warming we’ve been suffering from. [/s]
Yup, right on time.
No further comment needed.
CNN and science are not only not friends, they are arch enemies.
But not to worry, I think a couple of their talking heads actually passed their third grade science hour.
Yes, once the virus story is no longer the flavour of the month, the media will become expert climatologists like they were when Katrina hit.
“an above-normal 2020 Atlantic hurricane season”
Well that’s BS.
We can indeed be certain that this either will or will not happen...and that if it does, it will be President Trump’s fault.
CNN on to their next “Scare the Krap Outta America” routine.
It seems like every spring brings predictions of a worse-than-normal hurricane season. The predictions are shouted from the rooftops by the leftstream media.
When hurricane season is over, it frequently happens that the predictions were way too pessimistic. But the media is silent.
But all this is just coincidence.
Is there a year where they don’t predict that?
I believe the last two years he had to revise downward his relative poor predictions of more than average storms
Again?
they say it’s ‘above normal’ every single stinkin year, and it almost always is way below normal- then when we get one year above- they can gloat- “See? We told you- Global warming!”
“All seasons are predicted as “above normal” because of that horrific warming we’ve been suffering from. [/s]”
Yup!
