Predicting relies on taking the information from past seasons. Forecasters look at what indications from past hurricanes can lead into similar scenarios in the present season. A hurricane is fueled from atmospheric conditions such as warm oceans and above-average sea surface temperatures. Dr. Richard Knabb, a forecaster from the National Hurricane Center, predicts an above average season overall in the Caribbean, Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
