A new forecast says the 2017 hurricane season could be worse than normal — and the potential impact on Bia could be increasingly troublesome. Both the Weather Channel and the National Weather Service say the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, which begins June 1 and ends Nov. 30, will be more active than usual, and the number of named storms and hurricanes should be higher than usual.

A forecast released May 25 by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration calls for:

  • Eleven to 17 named storms – including April’s Tropical Storm Arlene.
  • Five to 9 of which would become hurricanes.
  • Two to 4 of which would become major hurricanes.

The 30-year historical average (1981-2010) for the Atlantic Basin is 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes. A major hurricane is one that is Category 3 or stronger on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

The National Weather Service says Georgia should be increasingly worried about the potential impact of these storms.

The 2016 Georgia hurricane season was a relatively quiet one, with Hurricane Hermine swamping coastal counties in the first week of September. In early October, Hurricane Matthew dumped nearly a foot of rain on coastal Georgia communities. A state of emergency was declared so Savannah-area residents could evacuate inland.
