What is the 2012 hurricane forecast for the USA?

There is no hurricane forecast for the U.S. in particular, but there is a forecast for the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane season, which affects the U.S. There is a Pacific hurricane season, but it rarely affects the U.S. At the latest update forecasters are anticipating the season overall to have 12 to 17 tropical storms of which 5 to 8 are expected to become hurricanes. Of those 2 or 3 are expected to become hurricanes. As of August 20, 8 of these tropical storms, including 3 hurricanes have already happened so we can anticipate perhaps another 4 to 9 storms including another 2 to 5 hurricanes. The Atlantic Hurricane Season usually peaks in September.
