Millions of people in the southeastern U.S. still are reeling from the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, but scientists warn that the Atlantic hurricane season is far from over.

"As far as hurricane landfalls in the U.S., it's been crazy busy," said Jeff Masters, meteorologist for Yale Climate Connections. So far five hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S.—and the record is six.

Masters said it's possible that record will be matched since tropical cyclone activity is expected to be above-average for the rest of October and November.

Hurricane season officially ends Nov. 30 and peaks from mid-August to mid-October due to warm ocean waters. Masters said the very active period will continue into November because of favorable upper level winds in the atmosphere as well as ocean temperatures remaining at record-high temperatures.

"I think probably two or three more named storms by the first week of November is a good bet with at least one of those being a hurricane," said Masters.
