In the Atlantic basin, the National Hurricane Center is watching three tropical waves, including one in the Caribbean.

Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released in late May forecasts a 60% chance of an above-average hurricane season, with 13 to 19 named storms expected, including 6 to 10 hurricanes and as many as five major hurricanes.

The NHCcontinues tracking three tropical waves that are moving west across the Atlantic and the Caribbean but doesn’t expect any tropical development.

The low-pressure area the NHC has been monitoring off Florida's eastern coast will bring heavy rain to the Carolinas before fizzling out.

The change marks another blow to NOAA’s forecasting abilities, adding to growing concerns about the agency’s readiness for hurricane season.

A developing tropical cyclone is given a name when it reaches sustained winds of 39 mph, and it becomes a hurricane at 74 mph.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, including one in the western Caribbean.

The first hurricane in the Pacific doesn’t typically arrive until the last week of June. Three have been named so far this season.
