The 2011 hurricane season is expected to be more active than normal, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday.
Forecasters predicted 12 to 18 named storms in the Atlantic basin, with six to 10 hurricanes and three to six major hurricanes, with sustained winds of 111 mph or more.
They attributed the busy season to an era of heightened Atlantic hurricane activity, warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures and La Niña conditions.
