So for the 2026 season, do you know how many storms were predicted to get?

Yes.

So there's several sources for that information out there.

The key top ones being obviously NOAA and the National Hurricane Center National Weather Service.

as well as Phil Klotzbeck, who's actually a Massachusetts native with Colorado State University.

And, you know, if we go with the NOAA outlook, which kind of encompasses what the prediction is from Colorado State, roughly looking at eight to 14 named storms, potentially three to six hurricanes, and one to three major hurricanes, which would be a below average season for our area.

Now, numbers are numbers.

Why do hams care about Atlantic hurricane season? What is available to hams who want to be of service? during this time?
