Cooper Meteorological Administration/2018 Atlantic usercane season

The 2018 Atlantic usercane season is an upcoming event in usercane formation in the Atlantic Ocean. This season will be the first to be monitored by the Cooper Meteorological Center (CMC). Due to the recent uptick in userstorm formation, the CMC will use a different scale for classifying usercanes than the National Usercane Center (NUC). The CMC classifies a tropical userpression as having 50 edits, while a tropical userstorm is classified as having 100 edits.

Seasonal Forecasts
On December 3, 2017, the CMC released their forecasts for the 2018 Atlantic usercane season. They called for an above-average season in terms of named storms, while also predicting the season to fall well below the average in hurricanes and major hurricanes. They noted that more userstorms could form in 2018 than in the 2017 season, which currently holds the record for most named storms and the least storms of hurricane intensity.
