Top meteorologists sound ‘alarm bells’ on worrying outlook for 2024 hurricane season

Fear sells.

There are many great reasons to be watchful and prepared if you live in Florida. Mother Nature packs a wallop.
I'm sure if there is a particularly impactful hurricane season one political party will be blamed for having its head in the sand; and, if there is not a particularly impactful hurricane season the same political party will be blamed because - mainly - they are too diverse and do not assimilate with pop culture's fear and doom scenario. Fight the power! Stick it to the man, the transman and anyone you can man.

 

Jim Cantori just wet himself.

 

Thats great news. The insurance companies here in Florida will use it to raise the rates another 50%.

 

The first Cat 6 will inevitably be named Hurricane Donald.

 

We recently had a hurricane with 200 mph winds. We should have already noted one as cat 6

 

Hurricanes are the least concerning issue with high water temperatures in the Gulf.

 

oh? do tell…

 

Hurricane Michael’s strength forecast was wrong 3 or 4 days out. His path was dead on, which sucked for me because so many prior storms were aimed early at or near PC and they always seemed to veer away. Michael didn’t waiver…what a terrible surprise on both accounts.

 

The science of tropical storms has gotten much better with the path/cones over the years, but intensity has been more challenging, particularly with rapid intensification near landfall.

 

New preseason hurricane forecast is highest ever issued. Brace yourself, Florida

 

Get out the sharpies

 

They pretty much say this every year.
But last year was unusually mellow in my neck of the woods and worse for others. So it goes

 

I get that it always feels hyped. But James Spann is an old school meteorologist who often rants about the increasing fear-mongering and hyperbole he sees surrounding severe weather, and even he recently said on Weather Brains that he has a bad feeling about this hurricane season. Some of it's just good luck or bad luck; we could get fish storms, for example. But the ingredients will be there for a bad season, to include very hot water temps and an emerging La Nina in the ENSO.

 

We are gonna get smashed in Florida...somewhere. All part of it. I'll take it over wildfires, mudslides, and tornadoes any day.

 

I don’t think they ratchet up the “highest ever predicted” every single year, or they’d be up to predicting about 100 storms a year by now.

The previous high “predicted” was 2010. Crazily enough, this “record breaking season” prediction is still less than the actual record of 30, which just happened in 2020.

 

DEFORESTATION is the biggest threat to human kind, the environment and our climate... But the Leftists are simply ignoring the FACTS.
