The first day of hurricane season is just around the corner which means, if you haven't already, it's time to start preparing. Although it has little chance of developing, we're already tracking our first tropical disturbance of the year. And this week, we'll find out how many more storms we can expect for 2023. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will announce its 2023 Atlantic hurricane season outlook at 11 a.m. Thursday at its Center for Weather and Climate Prediction in Maryland. In addition to the number of expected storms, we'll find out how climate factors will influence how hurricanes develop. Climate scientists will also discuss new products and systems they'll be using for enhanced forecasting. NOAA and FEMA will discuss how the public can best prepare for hurricane season, though there are plenty of resources to start taking action now.
