Like every year since 2015, a more active than usual hurricane season has been forecast for the Atlantic Hurricane Basin, according to Colorado State University.
ATLANTIC CITY — A massive, dangerous storm was headed toward the Jersey Shore on Oct. 28, 2012, but what made this storm even more of a threat was how its dangers were eluding the public and the forecasting trip wires established by the National Weather Service.

2005, 2020 and 2021 all exhausted the original Atlantic Tropical Cyclone list. Originally, the National Hurricane Center moved to the Greek alphabet. However, after confusion in the Greek names and retirement of storms worthy enough to do so, a list of supplemental names in English or Spanish is used.

AccuWeather also predicts an above average hurricane season, they talked with us
Expect another above-average tropical season in the Atlantic Ocean and New Jersey will need to watch for a close call. 16 to 20 tropical storms, 6 to 8 of them hurricanes and 3 to 5 of them major hurricanes is expected. Meteorologist Joe Martucci has long-time AccuWeather tropical expert Dan Kottlowski on the podcast to talk about that, growing up in rural Indiana and his map splits of the Garden State.
