Even though 2020 was the most active hurricane season on record, forecasters are projecting another busy hurricane season this year. Colorado State University’s Tropical Meteorology Project released its first forecast Thursday predicting an above-normal season for 2021. A total of 17 named storms, eight hurricanes and four major hurricanes are expected this season. The official Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 31st, though storms can develop outside of that timeframe. The National Hurricane Center will issue their tropical weather outlooks on May 15.
