The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is scheduled to release its annual seasonal outlook on May 21. Pre-season forecasts from major academic and commercial meteorological institutions span a wide range from 12 to 20 named storms, but they share a common bottom line: U.S. coastal and inland markets across the Atlantic and Gulf basins will need to be prepared. And for a growing number of homeowners, National Floors Direct understands that preparation now starts with the floors under their feet.
