Hurricane Season is under way! There are currently two named storms Bertha (Atlantic) and Elida (Pacific). Bertha just made a direct hit on Bermuda as a Tropical Storm. It is forecast to strengthen again as it makes a eastward turn. Elida is forecast to continue to move out into the Pacific. Also there is a wave behind Bertha that is in favorable conditions to form into a tropical system.

Hurricane Season is from June 1st to Nov. 30th and this year has the potential to have above average activity due to the weak La Nina, which tends to create a favorable environment for Atlantic hurricanes.

A hurricane expert from Colorado State University is forecasting 15 named storms with 4 becoming major. Some forecasters are expecting a year just shy of the infamous 2005 season! (Watch those gas prices)
