Up to 25 named storms and 13 hurricanes expected, driven by La Niña and warm ocean temperatures

The NOAA predicts up to 25 named tropical storms and 13 hurricanes for the 2024 Atlantic season.
La Niña conditions and near-record warm ocean temperatures are key drivers of the heightened storm activity.
Four to seven major hurricanes with winds exceeding 111 mph are expected.
The East Coast faces an 85% chance of above-normal hurricane activity, while the West Coast may see below-normal storm activity.
Authorities urge residents to prepare for potential severe weather impacts and to understand their unique risks.
