ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Coastal residents, take note: Hurricane season is far from over, but it's looking more likely this will be a much slower period.
Forecasters at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center increased the likelihood of a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season to 60 percent -- up from 25 percent predicted in May -- and the chance of an above-normal season has dropped from 35 percent to 10 percent.
