MIAMI — Warm ocean waters could fuel an above-normal Atlantic hurri- cane season, while storm-suppressing El Nino conditions are expected to be scarce, U.S. government forecasters said Thursday. The National Oceanic and Atmo- spheric Administration forecast calls for 11 to 17 named storms, with five to nine hurricanes. Two to four hur- ricanes are expected to be “major” with sustained winds of at least 111 mph. Forecasters expect warmer-than-aver- age waters across the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, weaker-than- average wind shear and a weak or non- existent El Nino, said Ben Friedman, acting NOAA administrator. El Nino is the natural warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide and tends to reduce CAITLAN WALZER / THE SUMTER ITEM hurricane activity in the Atlantic.
