Two more Atlantic hurricanes expected this year: experts
Miami (AFP) Oct 2, 2007 Two more hurricanes, one of them of major intensity, are expected to form over the Atlantic ocean this year, forecasters said in a report out on Tuesday. In all, four named storms are likely to form in the remainder of the six-month Atlantic hurricane season, which ends on November 30, according to Colorado State University experts Philip Klotzbach and William Gray. Two of the storms should strenghten into hurricanes, including one intense hurricane, the forecasters said. A hurricane described as intense has maximum sustained winds of at least 178 kilometers (111 miles) per hour, meaning it reaches category three or higher on the five-level Saffir-Simpson scale. So far this year there have been 13 tropical storms in the Atlantic basin, four of which strengthened into hurricanes.
