***NOTE***
While these seasonal outlooks are interesting and nice to know, the exact track of each storm is what really matters. We could have 30 storms in the Atlantic but if they all stay over the water, then our season may be considered “boring”. If we only have 3 storms but they all hit us directly, then it would be a “bad season” for us.
