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.
What it's like riding out Hurricane Maria 01:29"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." Six major hurricanes formed that year in the Atlantic basin. The seasonal average is 12 named storms, including six hurricanes.
— Philip Klotzbach March 19, 2020 "Also, the tropical Atlantic is quite a bit warmer than it has been the past few years at this time," Klotzbach said.Sea surface temperatures are one of the ingredients needed to fuel hurricanes. The warmer the ocean, the more fuel available for the storms to tap into.Although four major hurricanes are forecast this season, that doesn't mean any necessarily will hit the US coast.
What is a 'hurricane wall'? 01:16"We find that there is just too much uncertainty with the future state of both and the Atlantic prior to that time," Klotzbach says. Still, these statistical and dynamical models fail in some years, the researchers made clear."Last year, we forecast a near-average hurricane season and ended up a bit more active than we thought," Klotzbach said.Their April 2019 forecast predicted five hurricanes for that year; six were observed.
Remember when all those celebrities died and everyone joked it was the start of the rapture?

This may very well happen, but the weathermen/women have trouble accurately predicting 2 days out.
Can you please STOP spreading fear !!! 😡
CNN and more scaring the public.
omg!!! 🥶😰 wat happened to the world now... plssss we need more prayers to heal the world, and to all the people who infected of coronavirus, and for us being affected for lockdown globally, God,bless us all... Amen.. 🙏🙏
Maybe Trump has a solution...
Somehow the Democrats will find a way to blame this on Trump
awesome
2020 needs fast track.
Please prepare soon and get protected
For God has not given us the spirit of fear. But of love, power and of a sound mind.
And you thought this was a good time to share this...
Godzilla is next.
Like people are not panicking enough already because of this pandemic, you had to freak people out more with your hurricane season predictions
YALL MADE MEMES AS IF YOU WERENT TESTING THE LORD
It had to be above normal didnt it.....
no shit
Looks perverted
Find a way to blame your President. That’s what you do best.
More fake news from the world wide leader in fake news CNN!!!
Wake me up when 2020 ends please
oh, that would really cause Coronavirus to spread.
Let's see how Trump handles this and who he blames when the next hurricane hits America during everything else. Maybe he will finally melt down in his brain will explode, oh wait he has to have a brain for that to happen!
Thanks. We don't need to worry about that. We have quit the ParisClimate .
CNN sucks
Oh great just what we need
What. The. Fuck.
The history of hurricane predictions is a joke.
Let me guess it’s Trumps fault?
2020 SMH
Of course.... right on cue...A time machine would come in super handy right about now 😑
See how the CNN coverage compares against other news outlets on Ground News hurricane Coronavirus naturaldisasters Environment Medical
Of course! Perhaos if we all just cry 'uncle' really loud...
Ready. The. Nukes.
Anyone want to just come and punch me in the nuts repeatedly
We should name them corona, witch-hunt, Obama and Hillary, cause that’s what trump will blame.
Shut up. Go look for the Malaysian Airlines plane in the black hole.
We can't even accurately predict where a known storm that's 500 miles off a coast will make landfall. But sure, 4 Major storms coming this summer.... If this turns out to be right it'll be pure luck.
Yikes
Because of course
Maybe we need to cancel the hurricane season this year
SimonNimes 🙈
...
Tired
When will we get the memo that God hates Florida?
Chill out folks. Its CNN reporting it. Its fake
Ron Destanis, will have Floridians wait to protect themselves. Until the winds are 95 mph. That is about the equivalent to what he's done with this virus.
Whew...I was nervous there for a second when I saw that headline. Then I saw it was CNN reporting it. I feel much better now. I was scared there for a second
Fuckin super!
CNN is like a bad X girlfriend, always loves the drama
Thia year will be one to remember
May I suggest hiding all Sharpies in the White House?
Lo que nos faltaba 😫
Gel anam gel 😂
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE TECHNOLOGICAL WARFARE WEATHER MANIPULATION COLLAPSING ECONOMIES WHAT ELSE? Massive Coincidences happening right now.

Not now Mother Nature you already stuck us w/ this Virus 🦠...
Ok. We need to start taking this shit seriously. Can somebody please sacrifice a virgin into a volcano?!?!
Can wind and rain blow away the Corona virus? Asking for a friend in the White House
Lmao just shut up with your doom and gloom bullschitt.
Sure cause why not?
Sorry, were going to need to cancel hurricane season, cant have people crammed together in shelters
-God
I miss Florida 🤪
The USS Roosevelt was treated as an urban cure. Divided into many small areas on the boat, do not communicate, put on a mask. Eat completely cooked hot food. If the soldier has any symptoms, take the medicine you recommend first. If necessary, contact Taiwan.
This planet is trying like hell to shake us off
Thanks. We are already hunkering down in Sarasota. If we had a basement, I would be hiding there for the next six months.
Classic CNN trying to panic the public. Unfortunately many weak minded people fall for it.
its like the months of this year are competing to see who’s gonna be the shittiest in 2020
Hey look, its 2020 still.
JUPITERMOVESME Yeap they Def bout to meet that quota.

Well aren’t you all giddy.
NOBODY PANIC!!!!! The Churches in the most heavily affected areas will remain open. Their thoughts and prayers should save us all!
Mother nature is fed up and wants to get all of us up out of here in 2020
Human beings earned this.
Ight we get it, it’s the end of the world.
Oh. A REAL public concern?
This year is the absolute worst
We as people have to come together to overcome this shitshow that is 2020.
Don’t worry I’ll negotiate with god.
So even when we can go outside we are likely to be blown away by 100 mph winds. This year keeps getting better and better.
Good Morning America Keep THE FAITH. This is all we have. Don’t give that up!!!!
Man we’re getting jumped.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnn.
