By Associated Press Government forecasters minimally reduced their expectations for an above-average Atlantic hurricane season today, saying up to nine hurricanes and up to 16 tropical storms are projected to form.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration maintained its prediction that three to five of the hurricanes will be major storms of Category 3 strength or stronger.
The revised forecast trimmed by one the upper-level predictions for the number of tropical storms and hurricanes expected. Forecasters expect 13 to 16 tropical storms, down from their May prediction of 13 to 17. Seven to nine are now expected to become hurricanes, down from the original estimate of up to 10.
