  13. Colorado State Summary April 2014 “We anticipate that the 2014 Atlantic basin hurricane season will have “below average” activity compared with the 1981-2010 climatological average” Despite the quiet forecast, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them. They are reminded to prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much or how little activity is predicted. “The tropical Atlantic has anomalously cooled over the past several months” Radford Blvd in front of Bldg 1500 “it appears quite likely that an El Niño of at least moderate strength will develop this summer and fall ”
