Colorado State University (CSU) has unveiled its much-anticipated preseasonal hurricane forecast for the upcoming 2024 season, and the outlook is stirring attention.
Predictions indicate a staggering 23 named storms, with 11 expected to intensify into hurricanes, including five potentially reaching major status.
This projection stands as the highest ever issued by CSU in its April outlook, signaling potentially turbulent times ahead. Hurricane season begins June 1.
What sets this forecast apart is not only the elevated numbers but also the notable confidence behind the predictions. Unlike previous April outlooks, which often carry a degree of uncertainty, CSU’s meteorologists express a strong conviction in this forecast. The basis for this confidence lies in the formidable atmospheric conditions primed to fuel above-average hurricane activity throughout the Atlantic basin.
Key factors driving this heightened activity include record-warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic, setting the stage for robust storm development. Additionally, the anticipated transition to the La Niña phase further amplifies the likelihood of increased hurricane formation in the region.

5 billion reasons to take anything coming outta CSU with a YUGE grain of salt...
I try not to think about it.....................😎
have they ever been correct in their predictions?
i am not seeing it.
Every. Single. Year.
After Katrina, they predicted 5 Cat storms will become common. The following year...nothing. And don’t forget, even if it’s only for 1 minute...the report a 5...they never mention the 1 minute. Did a lot of searching to pick up on this.
Even if these guys are wrong, they’ll still get paid.
There are precious few professions that are like that.
“strong conviction” in forecast.
April HURRICANE “climate model” and charlatan fear monger place-holder.
Let’s come back in October
You best avoid local TV altogether then......they’re already chirping about it over here 😏
“Can I buy Homeowners Insurance call options?”
Yes
They don’t need to be accurate.
See my reply #6.
News media is all about keeping people’s anxiety levels up as much as humanly possible.
5th year in a row with this prediction...
And yes... Yeah... not so much.
Maybe if they just keep guessing they’ll get it right some year.
Bill Gray founded the hurricane center there at least 40 years ago, has been a center of relative expertise ever since. He was not a global warmist either so they have been fairly accurate from time to time. Still, they do tend to over-predict.
