It’s only spring, but some weather forecasters are already focusing on this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. The season, which spans June through November, is shaping up to be a busy one, according to hurricane researchers at Colorado State University.

There were nearly 20 named storms associated with 2024's hurricane season - including Helene. Meteorologists say this year's season could be similar.

AccuWeather said it is predicting 13 to 18 named storms this year. Colorado State University is releasing its 2025 hurricane forecast today.
