An average season <\/li>\n<li>The scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are predicting as many as 20 named storms could develop. They are forecasting that 10 of them will become hurricanes, including three to five major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher, with wind speeds topping 110 miles per hour).  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While they may not all agree on the exact number of storms you can expect this year, the experts are all in agreement that we are in for a very active storm season.
