Hurricane Season Arrives in NYC

Although hurricanes are uncommon in New York City, they are most likely to occur between August and October. Experts predict an active hurricane season in 2008 with 15 named storms. Hurricane Dolly, the fourth named storm of the season, formed more than a month earlier than 2007's fourth named storm.
