All three major forecasting institutions — AccuWeather, Colorado State University, and the National Weather Service, overpredicted total storm counts before the season, although all three correctly anticipated above-normal, major hurricane activity. But there will be no landfalling hurricanes in the U.S. in 2025

Colorado State University hurricane researchers are maintaining their forecast for a slightly above-average 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, citing an above-average tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea surface temperatures as a primary factor for their prediction of eight hurricanes this year.

The hurricane forecast team at Colorado State University issued a slightly decreased storm forecast Wednesday, calling now for 16 named storms and 8 hurricanes -- one less in each case from initial forecasts -- and a slightly above-normal 2025 Atlantic basin hurricane season.Releasing the downgrade Wednesday morning, the CSU team’s report said the primary reason for the slight decrease is both observed and predicted high levels of Caribbean shear.

Hurricane Season is here. Experts are predicting an above-average storm season. Punta Gorda, still recovering from previous storms, is learning from past lessons.

WGCU's Tom Bayles predicts hurricane season will heat up and, if so, he believes a Category 2 or 3 hurricane may be in Southwest Florida's near future. He hopes he's wrong.

AccuWeather lowered storm total expectation but neither Colorado State nor the National Weather Service did, even after five weeks of only minor rumblings in the Atlantic hurricane season which typically peaks in less than two weeks
