The article discusses the upcoming 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season, which begins on June 1 and lasts through November. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting an above-normal activity in the Atlantic this year, with a 30% chance of a near-normal season, a 60% chance of an above-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season.
The article also mentions that researchers at Colorado State University are calling for above normal conditions, predicting 17 tropical storms, with nine of those becoming hurricanes, and four potential major hurricanes.
Additionally, the article provides some background on how to preview an upcoming hurricane season. Analog years are used as a way to compare past years that had similar atmospheric conditions to what this season might look like. Some of these years include:
* 1996
* 1999
* 2006
* 2008
* 2011
* 2017
These years may stand out to Texans, particularly 2008 for Hurricane Ike and 2017 for Harvey.
However, it's worth noting that the article also mentions that some of these years, such as 2006 and 1999, were very different seasons for the Texas coast. In 2006, there were no hurricanes that made landfall in the US, but tropical storms did hit Florida. In 2011, the Atlantic and Bay of Campeche were active, but not necessarily the Gulf Coast.
Overall, the article provides some insight into what to expect from the upcoming hurricane season and highlights the importance of staying prepared for severe weather events.

it's gonna be a wild ride i hope everyone in texas is being proactive and getting their homes prepped up, it's not just about the big storms but also those sneaky ones that pop up out of nowhere... researchers saying 17 tropical storms? that's a lot 
and with 9 of them becoming hurricanes? yeah let's get this preparedness game on point

! You're all set up, ready to go... BAM! Next thing you know, it's a Category 5 
Scientists are trying to guess what the weather will do, but we all know the drill 
. Just like how you try to predict your own future (spoiler alert: it's gonna be drama-filled) 
Texas is all, "Uh-oh, 2008 and 2017 were bad, I don't wanna remember!" 
But honestly, we're all just trying to ride out the storm (literally) 
Staying prepared is key, folks! Don't be like that one friend who's all, "Oh, it'll never happen to me..." 
Just... don't.
... I mean, I know some people might be worried, but honestly, I'm more concerned about all those tropical storms they're predicting 
? Can't they just say if it's gonna be bad or not for once?
.
. So, if you're a Texan or just gonna be in Texas this hurricane season, make sure you're prepared 
... with supplies, a plan, and maybe even some duct tape 
. Better safe than sorry, right? 
but seriously, texas needs to be extra prepared this year, especially with Ike and harvey coming back into focus. i mean, 2008 was rough, remember? can we please just get some better hurricane prep in place already? 
. I mean, 30% chance of a near-normal season? That's like saying there's only a 30% chance you'll get to enjoy your summer BBQ without getting drenched 
. And don't even get me started on the predicted 17 tropical storms... that's just crazy stormy weather 
.
. We need to make sure we have the best emergency plans in place, you know? Like, what if our school gets evacuated? How will we stay connected with our families? It's so overwhelming thinking about it 
. We need to stay safe and prepared, no matter what! 
and it's only like 5 months away 
! the thought of hurricanes is giving me major anxiety 
️! i mean, 17 tropical storms in a row? that's wild 
. analog years can give us an idea of what to expect but idk if they're always accurate 
. anyway, let's all just stay safe and prepared this summer 
.
.
. I mean, 2008 was a crazy season in Texas with Ike, but what about the years before that? Wasn't it just as bad or worse? 
analog years are helpful i guess, but lets be real we cant rely on past seasons to predict this year's... plus some yrs were super different from others... still gotta stay vigilant tho
