The Atlantic hurricane season in 2015 will see fewer than the average number of storms, according to Colorado State University researchers. Philip Klotzbach and William Gray said cooler ocean temperatures and the expectation that favorable atmospheric conditions will continue through the summer months will mean fewer hurricanes.
They said the Gulf Coast and East Coast both have a 15 percent chance of getting hit by a hurricane this season, well below the average of 30 percent. Their forecast calls for seven named storms, of which three will become hurricanes with wind speeds of 74 mph or higher.
