SUMMARY: I'm at the National Hurricane Center in Miami for the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. During media day, officials from the Center and FEMA emphasized the importance of annual preparedness. This season, the forecast predicts an above-average number of storms and major hurricanes. Despite active forecasts in previous years, their landfall impact on the U.S. remains uncertain. The key message is consistent yearly preparation, as many are still caught off guard. The hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th. I'm Paul Goodlow from The Weather Channel.

One day before the start of the 2024 hurricane season, The Weather Channel Meteorologist Paul Goodloe reports from the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
