(Today) Thursday, June 1st, officially begins the 2023 Hurricane Season that will end on November 30th.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasters with the Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service are predicting a near-normal hurricane season for the Atlantic this year but the weather could still be unpredictable.

The forecasters have made this conclusion based on a number of competing factors including the high potential of El Nino that is expected to develop in the Atlantic during the summer.
