New tools help better predict storms and alert the public for hurricane season

The National Hurricane Center is implementing new forecast tools and models in 2024 to improve track and intensity predictions. A new experimental forecast code will emphasize wind hazards inland, not just at the coast. The Center will also issue alerts more frequently and at convenient times. They predict up to 25 named storms, with 13 becoming hurricanes and 7 potentially major. Residents are advised to prepare but not panic, focusing on risks rather than numbers.
