Brace for Another Active Hurricane Season in 2018
The start to the Atlantic Hurricane Season is less than 2 weeks away! After last year's record hurricane season, we've all been anxious about what this season will hold. Forecasters are warning us to prepare for another active hurricane season. In fact, they are saying that we could see the first named storm of the season as early as this weekend, before the official start of the season. Keep reading to learn more about what forecasters are saying is in store for us this year and how you can take action for hurricane and flood preparedness today.
Forecasts from both North Carolina State University and Colorado State University predict between 14 and 18 named storms on the eastern seaboard this year. It is also predicted that 7-11 of those storms will become hurricanes. The Weather Channel, however, is predicting slightly lower numbers at 13 named storms and 6 hurricanes this year. Either way, we can expect an above average hurricane season this year. Hopefully though, if these numbers ring true, we won't see quite as many storms as last year.
On Sunday, May 13, the National Hurricane Center issued an outlook about a low pressure system that “could acquire some subtropical or tropical characteristics” as it moves around the Gulf this week. Forecasters are saying there's a 40% chance of this activity becoming a subtropical or tropical depression by the weekend. Florida and other coastal areas are already experiencing heavy rain storms that could lead to flooding. Should this weather system become a named storm, it will be known as "Alberto."
Now is the time to prepare and ensure a hurricane mitigation plan is in place before a storm is imminent. The rains are already coming and flooding is a threat with or without an actual named storm.
