11 We anticipate that the 2016 Atlantic basin hurricane season will be average. Despite the quiet forecast, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them. They are reminded to prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much or how little activity is predicted. Colorado State Summary April 2016 These cold anomalies tend to force atmospheric conditions that are less conducive for Atlantic hurricane formation and intensification. While shear-enhancing El Niño conditions are likely to dissipate in the next several months, the far North Atlantic is quite cold. Radford Blvd in front of Bldg 1500 Post Ivan 11
