According To Weather Forecasts, Louisiana Could Be In For A Brutal Hurricane Season This Year, Seeing Up To 18 Storms

If it's not one thing, it's another. Hurricane season is quickly approaching, and if the predictions are true, we are in for a doozy of a season. While there's no telling for sure how many storms we will see or where they will make landfall, everything is lining up for one incredibly active hurricane season, and you'll want to be prepared.

Hurricane season runs from June through November, and if the predictions are true, then we are in for a heavy hitter of a season.

According to an outlook released by The Weather Company, the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be more active than previous years.

They’re predicting 18 named storms, nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes, with one that is a Category 3 or higher.

That’s a significant jump from previous years where the average for the past 30 years has been 13 named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major hurricanes.

The study is based on a number of factors, including sea-surface temperatures, La Nina, and past hurricane seasons with similar conditions.

Just because it may be an active season, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be a catastrophic season.

A season can deliver several storms but still have little impact.

No matter how many storms form, there’s still no telling where they will hit, or if they will make landfall in the United States at all, so it’s important to be prepared either way.

As we are all aware, all it takes is one storm to cause severe damage.

Even a tropical storm can wreak havoc if it’s slow-moving and drops a ton of rain, triggering massive flooding.

It’s always good to have a hurricane preparation plan.

Stock up on the essentials as the season draws nearer, have an evacuation route planned, and chat with your family so everyone is on the same page going into the season.
