Atlanta — Federal forecasters predicted a quieter 2026 Atlantic hurricane season on Wednesday, estimating eight to fourteen named storms and attributing the reduced outlook to a high probability of El Niño developing this spring. Local meteorologists and NOAA officials emphasized the projection while noting that seasonal forecasts do not preclude isolated major storms affecting coastal areas. Savannah and Gulf coast communities this week increased preparedness messaging, with broadcasters issuing readiness guides and St. Tammany Parish officials convening a meeting urging residents to finalize evacuation and protection plans before the June 1 season start. Officials cited potential for heavy tropical moisture, localized flooding of up to five inches, and storm surge risks for vulnerable coastal infrastructure.
