Are above-average hurricane seasons the new normal?
SUMMARY: The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season has seen about 70% more named storms than the average dating back to 1961, according to Colorado State University Senior Research Scientist Dr. Phil Klotzbach. CSU's latest hurricane forecast predicted a total of 18 named storms, nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes. The forecast is in line with NOAA's prediction of an “above-normal” hurricane season. Dr. Klotzbach described this hurricane season as “unprecedented” due to the combination of a strong El Nino and record warm Atlantic temperatures. He emphasized that his team at CSU looks at the overall environment to determine if conditions are conducive for a busy season.

SUMMARY: Calhoun County in Mississippi has joined several other counties in implementing a burn ban due to severe drought conditions. The lack of rainfall and low humidity levels are increasing the risk of fires in the area. The ban prohibits any outdoor burning unless controlled by the Mississippi Forestry Commission. Fires can easily start in these dry conditions, even from something as small as a tossed cigarette or loose chains on a trailer. Farmers are unable to burn their fields, which may be frustrating but is necessary for safety. Other counties affected by the burn ban include Chickasaw, Grenada, Lee, and Monroe.
