As a busy hurricane season looms, new forecast model in the eye

A record 17 to 25 named storms have been predicted for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, with 8 to 13 of them becoming hurricanes. A new forecast model jointly created by researchers at NOAA and the University of Miami will provide better diversity of prediction tools.
