My 2015 North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Seasonal (June - November) Outlook

Based upon pre-seasonal factors and season forecast models I predict eight tropical storms, four of which will attain hurricane status, none of which will become major hurricanes.

Area of greatest threat will by the Eastern Seaboard with areas of extreme landfall risks at; Cape Hatteras, Long Island through Cape Cod, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland. The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean will face below average landfall risks this season, mitigating factors for these areas include; a strong Subtropical Jetstream and below normal rainfall in the Caribbean Region (please see my combined level flow forecast for further details).

Landfall Risk Map Color Key -

Yellow: Low Risk
Orange: Moderate Risk (average)
Red: High Risk (above average)
Purple: Extreme Risk (much above average)
