You can add the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) to the list of those predicting an above average hurricane
season. The Atlantic hurricane season started June 1 and
will continue through Nov. 30. 

NOAA is predicting 14-21 named storms with between
6 and 10 of those graduating to hurricane status. Of that
number, 3-6 are predicted to reach Category 3 or higher.
