Record number of hurricanes expected to hit US in 2020

The nation’s top modeler of hurricanes and tropical storms is predicting more disastrous weather than ever before during what has already been a stressful year for many.

Analysts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday that they expect 19 to 25 named storms with wind speeds greater than 39 mph. The organization included a prediction that seven to 11 of those storms will turn into hurricanes, which would make this year among the most active seasons in U.S. history.
