Record hot ocean temperatures and a tardy El Nino are doubling the chances of a nasty Atlantic hurricane season this summer and fall, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.
I don’t feel Tardy ~ Nino, probably
It’s literally hot for teacher.
I got it bad, so bad
Why doesn’t NOAA just predict good weather for a change? Seems like a waste of disaster response resources to keep having these storms year after year.
We were one of the places nailed with Fiona last year, not looking forward to another potentially active hurricane season, many still haven’t fully recovered from last year.
We might be in for a real storm of the century here and not just that one movie one.
Maybe we’ll get a hurricane reaching the midwest this time.
Not at all a meterologist. But my understanding is that is effectively impossible? No matter how big the hurricane is, it rapidly begins losing strength once it is over land and not able to “refill” the water. So unless it is following the Rio Grande or Mississippi for an incredibly unlikely amount of time, it will die out well before it hits the midwest. Also, that assumes the droughts aren’t severe enough that those rivers are dry.
That said, enough seasons of this and the coasts will erode to the point that it won’t be such a stretch.
I’ve experienced remnants in Chicago but definitely not a hurricane.
