- Don't forget that 2024 had a slow start: — the season started off slow but picked up into mid-September with multiple significant hurricanes. Since ocean temperatures are cooler this year, We expect “average” rather than above average activity to finish up the season.

Quietest Peak Season since 1939!
We’re experiencing the quietest peak of a hurricane season in our lifetime. The Atlantic hasn’t had a storm in 18 days. The last time the Atlantic went without a storm from August 28th - September 15th was in 1939.
The Essential Tools for Tracking Tropical Storms
When it comes to monitoring developing tropical storms and hurricanes, there are three essential tools you should use:
Core Tracking Tools
- Forecast Cone (NHC): The National Hurricane Center's cone graphic shows the storm's probable path and potential error range. Remember: impacts can occur outside the cone.
- Satellite Imagery: Provides real-time views of cloud structure and organization, helping identify areas of heavy rain and potential intensification.
- Radar: Offers detailed precipitation intensity data and helps pinpoint a storm's center, especially crucial as it approaches land.
Specialized Analysis Tools
- Wind Speed Probabilities: Shows likelihood of tropical storm/hurricane-force winds at specific locations.
- Storm Surge Maps: Critical for coastal residents, displaying flood risk areas from ocean inundation.
- Spaghetti Models: Visualize forecast uncertainty through multiple model tracks.
