The 2022 hurricane season starts next week and both NOAA’s National Hurricane Center and the researchers at Colorado State University are calling for an above-normal hurricane season. Our guest this week, is Dr. Phil Klotzbach, one of the acclaimed CSU Tropical Weather and Climate Research team. Their tropical outlook, issued early each spring, is a leader in forecasting the tropics. Klotzbach explains how current La Niña conditions and average sea surface temperatures has led them to forecast 19 named storms, nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes. A separate outlook published this week by the National Weather Service, foresees a similar season: with 14-21 named storms, 6-10 hurricanes, and 3-6 major hurricanes.
