Based on all the current parameters and model projection, the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season is likely to be busy one. However, let’s keep in mind that although 9 out of 10 factors can align perfectly, it just takes one factor to significantly suppress development or intensification in a seemingly perfect environment, e.g Saharan dust, wind […]
This is not a forecast or outlook but more thoughts regarding this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. Today is of course the first day of the season and we’ve already seen Alberto. Not a particularly noteworthy system from a tropical point of view but it helped contribute to the wettest May on record for parts of […]
Below article from weather.com By Chris Dolce May 31 2018 12:51 PM EDT weather.com Story Highlights Colorado State University expects 13 more named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes, a slight reduction from its initial forecast.

The 7th hurricane of 2017 and Nate is destined to be the United States 3rd hurricane landfall of 2017. Droughts often end with a flood right? Once clear of competing forces in the Caribbean and land interaction, Nate has organised and strengthened quickly over the open Gulf of Mexico posing a significant threat on the US Gulf Coast tonight. […]
Tropical Storm Franklin is set to make landfall overnight tonight on the southern end of Mexico’s Yucatan. Currently winds sustained at 60 mph but this system could approach hurricane status prior to landfall and if so would be the 2017 season’s first for the Atlantic.

Within 150-200 miles of the Bahamas, Joaquin went from a strong 70 mph Tropical Storm to a Category 4 monster generating sustained winds of up to 130 mph as it spins directly over this beautiful island chain. The devastating aspect is twofold, 1) it’s a large and extremely powerful system but 2) the slow movement means that the Bahamas […]
Time to batten down the hatches for the first ‘storm’ of the 2014-15 season. BREAKING DOWN THE DETAIL… This won’t be anything we haven’t seen before but with models repeatedly showing a tight sub-978 centre crossing the North Highlands, expect a decent blow early tomorrow morning across much of Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. Widespread […]
Following the record Rockies/N Plains snowstorm came the record cold and this morning was another (record) cold one. This time over the Lower Midwest and interior Northeast with widespread 30s and low 40s. Even pockets of 20s! It’s all thanks to that cold, dry Canadian high which now spans a large swath of the country from the Rockies to East Coast. Some […]

Through the rest of today, Iselle is expected to Cat 1, 80 mph intensity as she makes landfall tonight on Hawaii’s Big Island where a rare hurricane warning is currently in effect. Originally, it was thought that both cooler subsurface waters […]
