NOAA’s 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook calls for a 50% chance of a near-normal season. The outlook also indicates a 25% chance of an above-normal season and a 25% chance of a below-normal season.
The likelihood of competing climate factors leads to several physical scenarios for the hurricane season. Some scenarios are more likely than others, and these are reflected in our stated probabilities of expected activity. Based on these scenarios, we estimate a 70% probability for each of the following seasonal ranges:
9-14 Named Storms,
4-7 Hurricanes
1-3 Major Hurricanes,
