JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — There are no local threats in the next week to the First Coast. The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season will begin June 1.
This season has been active, which isn't a surprise. NOAA called for a more active than normal season with 14-21 named storms, 6-11 hurricanes, and 2-5 major hurricanes for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. The 30-year average calls for a season with 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes.
Therefore, NOAA is calling for 60% above normal 2023 Atlantic hurricane season.
If you live in a hurricane-prone area, it's best to always be prepared and know what hazards could affect you and your family. The NHC's regular tropical weather outlooks come out regularly on the 2s and 8s during the season.
