Well known weather forecasting agency Weatherbell led by Joe Bastardi has published their 2024 Atlantic hurricane season forecast. They are calling for a well above average season. See below from Weatherbell:

"Very high levels of activity should be prepared for in areas that were essentially left untouched in 2023.

The El Niño will reverse to a La Niña, while the Atlantic basin will be ideal for development.
Very warm water in the northeastern Pacific is likely to mean the kind of pattern over North America that was similar to 2005, 2007, and 2020.
- This invited storms to reach the U.S.

Basin Forecast

Names Storms 25-30
