FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. With forecasters predicting another intense Atlantic hurricane season with as many as 13 to 19 named storms, disaster preparedness experts say its critically important for people in evacuation zones to plan to stay with friends or family, rather than end up in shelters during the coronavirus pandemic. Shelters are meant to keep you safe, not make you comfortable, said Carlos Castillo, acting deputy administrator for resilience at FEMA. An average Atlantic season has 12 named storms, but last year was the fourth consecutive season to have more, with 18 named storms, including three intense hurricanes Dorian, Humberto and Lorenzo. The season officially extends from June through November, but Tropical Storm Arthur jumped the gun last week off the eastern U.S. coastline. Just as in years past, NOAA experts will stay ahead of developing hurricanes and tropical storms and provide the forecasts and warnings we depend on to stay safe.

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is forecasting above-average activity this Atlantic hurricane season.

Hurricane season is starting in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes it even more important to prepare now. Hurricane season officially starts June 1 and runs through Nov. 30.
