As we move closer to summer, the longer days also signal the start of hurricane season, which begins June 1 and runs through November 30. Initially for the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, The Weather Company predicts 12 named storms, 5 hurricanes and 2 major hurricanes (check back for regular updates).
 

While the forecast shows a less active year than the historic 2017 season, it only takes one to affect your community or business. Be sure you know the latest updates to keep yourself, your clients and your families in the know.
