New Jersey is at an above average risk for a tropical storm or hurricane to hit or be within 50 miles of the coast this year, according to Colorado State University's April forecast. Meteorologist Joe Martucci shares the county-by-county breakdown for 2024's risk. CSU put out their most active forecast since beginning to forecast upcoming seasons in 1984.
Colorado State University, one of the premier organizations behind hurricane seasonal forecasting, has issued its most aggressive seasonal hurricane outlook on record.Â
The very active hurricane season forecasted is due to two factors. La Nina is expected to replace El Nino this hurricane season. The cooling of the waters along the equatorial Pacific Ocean plays a role. In additional, ocean water temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean remain well above average. Joe details both.
The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season starts June 1 and that means a new list of storm names you could see this year.Â
