Supercharged?? Oh noes!!!! A new word they are using to scare people.

[Sirius Lee]

Maybe. Locally, Ryan Hall Y’all is calling for a cooler than normal September on the East Cost.

Basically — “I think something might happen.”

This may be the biggest story of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 2020, named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes, all exceeded the forecasted numbers by NOAA and CSU. Where 13-19 named storms were predicted, the Atlantic Basin saw 30.

In 2021, the Gulf again was more active than predicted by both NOAA and CSU, with 21 named storms, after 13-20 were predicted. NOAA and CSU were accurate in predicting major hurricanes, of which the Atlantic Basin saw four.

But 2022 was a calmer year in the Gulf, on the low end of both organizations’ predictions. And 2023 saw slightly more activity than predicted.

All this to say: this far out, predictions are tough and things will definitely change.

They say that every year.

Imagine the horror of a hurricane hitting Philadelphia on Election Day.

Central Texas is having our first under 100 degree day in weeks - and no rain since 17 July.

I say Bring It!

hurricane seasons tend to intensify after they begin. and then they de-intensify until they stop.

Just checked Zoom.earth and I see nothing but a few storms in the Pacific

And yet....

The Atlantic Is Cooling at a Mysteriously Fast Rate After Record Warmth

• The sudden shift in water temperature is puzzling scientists.

[deweyfrank]

I’m not a weatherman, but I just read a report that the Atlantic Ocean water temp has cooled dramatically. I would think that this cooling would have a great impact on the development of tropical storms/hurricanes.

Election season always coincides with increased Covid and Hurricanes. It’s the damnedest thing.

[Col Frank Slade]

Yes it’s going to be Bomb -O- Genesis ..

[brookwood]

The more storms you name the more catastrophic the weather is. I was hit by a breeze named mufasa so that’s proof . A truck went by and kicked up another storm which I named Peterbilt.

[Alas Babylon!]

I can’t remember when we last had so FEW storms this far into August.

And look at the NHC today:

Quote: “There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time.”

Not an invest, storm or wave. NOTHING.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"Atlantic hurricane season to intensify dramatically."

Maybe. Maybe not.

[Sacajaweau]

It’s hurricane season...that’s the way it is...

[dfwgator]

In a week the Gators are going to turn the Hurricanes into Tropical Depressions.

[FlingWingFlyer]

(((YAWN))) Read today that soon, ALL hail is going to be grapefruit sized. They skipped right over mango sized.

[bgill]

There is a reason it is called hurricane SEASON.
