Hurricane forecasters enlist help MIAMI (AP) ? Forecasters had to enlist extra heir) Tuesday to trnrlr four stonns swirling in the open Atlantic in the busiest hurricane season in more than 60 years. The National Hurricane Center sent both of its tracking airplanes on stormchasing missions and got help from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and the Air Force, whose planes provided close looks at the storms. "It comes down to the fact that if s been quite a while since we've had this active of a season, and there really isn't a lot of experience to go on," said Mike Hopkins, a forecaster at the Miami center. The workload doubled Monday, when Tropical Storms Karen and Luis developed rapidly in the far eastern Atlantic near the African coast, joining Hurricanes Iris and Humberto, both about a week old. Karen and Luis became the 11th and 12th storms in the 1995 season, tying a 1933 record for the number of named storms formed so early. Hurricane season runs from June to November. "They are fairly close together, and it's hard to tell when they start interacting, and if they're going to start interacting, what will happen," Hopkins said. "If s a really interesting situation." Karen, with 50 mph winds, was centered about 925 miles east of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Carribean. Luis was 590 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands off the African coast, with winds of 45 mph. Iris, which briefly reverted to a trop:?i -i. o?J - i i itai Biurw ounuay wnen lis winas dropped below 74 mph, killed two people in Martinique and one in Guadeloupe. On Tuesday, Iris was considered a threat only to Atlantic shipping lanes, but its winds of 85 mph were expected to strengthen. Humberto, which also diminished to a tropical storm over the weekend, regained hurricane strength Monday near the mid-Atlantic with winds near 75 mph. A tropical storm has winds of 39 mph to 73 mph.
