Hurricane Forecast: Christopher Brenchley
Remember last summer and fall and the triumvirate of storms Iselle, Julio, and Ana? They gave Hawaii its first experience in a long time of the flip side of Paradise: hurricane strength wind, rain, and damage. But those three and the other two storms that moved through the central Pacific made 2014 an average year. This week, the NOAA Central Pacific Hurricane Center said 2015 would likely be better than average - anywhere from 5 to 8 storms. Chris Brenchley is the Warning Coordination Meteorologist for the Center and he joined the show via phone.
