Hurricane Forecast Released

According to a recent report from the Colorado State University hurricane forecasting team, the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane season will produce an above-average eight hurricanes, four of them major storms.

The six month season begins June 1, and this study predicts 15 named tropical storms. The team forecast a 69% chance of at least one major hurricane making landfall on the U.S. coastline in 2010.

That's not a very rosy picture for the upcoming Hurricane Season, but the KTAB Weather Team is prepared to make sure all of the Big Country gets comprehensive information on any storms that develop and make their way towards the U.S.

On a side note, some of the heaviest rainfall totals in the Big Country have come as remnants of hurricanes and tropical storms moved inland through Texas.

We'll watch and see how this prediction develops.
