NOAA National Weather Service forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center predict above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year. NOAA’s outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which spans from June 1 to November 30, predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season, a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season. CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland has more on the forecast and what it could mean for Atlantic Canada. Watch: https://lnkd.in/g8kvANp6

Little Debbie is churning in the Gulf… And it ain’t baked goods y’all… Fourth Named Storm in the #Atlantic of 25 Named Storms predicted by #NOAA for 2024. I did a recent talk in which I provided response to a question oft asked of the Director of Resiliency; “why do we need #resiliency?” En answer, I noted the 2025 NOAA forecast, evermore this latest storm, #Houston derecho and #Hurricane Beryl provide object lesson. Updated timing for release of $1.8 million #FAA funded Houston Airport System Resiliency Master Plan study is August 2024. Having won this grant 07/2024 I am, along with consultants Landrum & Brown and Ricondo & Associates, Inc. spring loaded and excited to begin these important works on behalf of The People of The City of Houston. This year, NOAA predicts a very high likelihood (85% chance) of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season (2), with 17-25 named storms (average is 14), 8-13 hurricanes (average is 7), and 4-7 major hurricanes (average is 3) (3).

NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration forecasters predict an 85% chance of above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic this year. They have forecasted 17 - 25 named storms, with 8 - 13 becoming hurricanes, including 4 - 7 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher).

🌀 Hurricane risk mapping with CARTO 🌀 continues! Approach 2: For this risk index, I took all recorded historic cat. 3+ hurricane tracks, and created a proximity index. Closer to more tracks => HIGHER, further from fewer => LOWER. Applying to Overture Maps Foundation buildings allows us to see areas that are REPEATEDLY CLOSE to hurricane tracks. https://lnkd.in/er4ry7yF

One of the amazing uses of spatial analytics is estimating risk from catastrophic weather events, like hurricanes. This sample map of Florida hurricane risk by CARTO, using Overture Maps Foundation data, makes me want to consider moving to Bradenton! Check out the map here: https://lnkd.in/ezCw-ryg

Hurricane season has officially started, and the predictions are not great! 😣 According to NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, there’s an 85% chance of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season, which means we could see 17 to 25 named storms with 8 to 13 of them becoming hurricanes. If you haven’t checked your emergency stash lately or have never built a survival kit before, use this as your guide to help you get started with assembling one.

Mark Sudduth in this video reports ~80% likelihood of La Niña arriving this summer with the pattern fully set for Sep24 which has historically seen the peak of Atlantic Hurricane & Tropical Storm activity. According to the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, during La Niña, westerly winds high in the atmosphere weaken. This results in an expanded area of low vertical wind shear, allowing more and stronger hurricanes to form.

Severe weather can strike at any moment and that’s why it’s important to be prepared before a major storm comes your way. 🌀 NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal hurricane season. This is due to a variety of factors, including near-record warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean, the development of La Nina conditions in the Pacific, reduced Atlantic trade winds, and less wind shear.
