In the Atlantic region, forecasters predict an 85% chance of an above-normal hurricane season, a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season. The NOAA predicts there will be eight to 13 hurricanes with four to seven of those being classified as severe.

This year's heightened forecast is attributed to warm ocean temperatures, La Nina in the Pacific, Atlantic trade winds and less wind shear.
