The 2026 Hurricane Season Storm Names Are Here: Did Yours Make the List, New Jersey?

Hurricane Season 2026 is coming, and this year, NOAA is predicting a less active hurricane season than in years past. Like every year, they've released the list of names for this year's storms, and it's always fun to see what names made the list.

Hurricane Season runs from June 1st through November 30th, and according to NOAA's latest predictions, we're actually in for a pretty quiet season. We have a 35-percent chance of a normal hurricane season, a 10-percent chance of an above-average hurricane season, and a 55-percent chance of a below-normal hurricane season.

Living near the coast, a less-than-average hurricane season is fine by me; anytime we get the winds whipping and the rain pouring, it has the potential to cause some serious damage to coastal towns. So the fewer storms we have to worry about, the better.
