While it felt more like early May than early June the last few days, things could be heating up in the tropics this hurricane season. The official Atlantic hurricane season began on Monday, June 1st. Just days into it, forecasters at Colorado State University have revised their forecast for this season. The new forecast calls for 11 tropical storms with five of those becoming hurricanes. Two of those five hurricanes are expected to become "major" hurricanes with Category 3 strength or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity.
