2011 Hurricane and Tropical Storm Forecasts

During the past week, some of the most well-known tropical storm and hurricane forecasters announced their expectations for the 2011 season that begins on June 1. While their early spring predictions generally lack pinpoint accuracy, they all indicate an active season with 3-5 intense hurricanes. New technologies and forecasting enable forecasters to watch storms develop and predict landfall 3-5 days before a storm comes ashore. Public safety sources encourage people to prepare for shelter-in-place emergencies and for evacuation. If required, you should plan to evacuate 2 days prior to the expected landfall.
