Melissa in the Morning: Hurricane Season Prep

Expert weather forecasters are projecting a significant number of dangerous storms this year. The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season is predicted to bring 24 named storms, 11 of which could become hurricanes, and six of which could reach Category 3 or stronger. This is far beyond the 30-year average and notably above the storms we had in 2023. That’s why a panel discussion was hosted in Fairfield ahead of the June first start date.
