So far this year, hurricane season has been very quiet. A few storms developed in the central Atlantic. Those storms didn't last long. But notice the storm track. The steering currents have curved each storm to the northeast.
The focus of attention in the weeks ahead will be over the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. While no storm (as of this writing--August 18th) has developed yet, all of the computer projections show rapid development of one area of storms into a formidable hurricane late next week
We look at 3 distinct projections. The GFS model, the Canadian model and the European Model.
The GFS (American) Model by next Saturday the 28th show a hurricane near Florida
The Canadian Model shows the same hurricane near the Carolina coast
The European Model shows it near Florida
Whether or not this actual verifies remains to be seen. The bottom line is that the computer are seeing the tropics becoming very active very soon and very fast. Based on a multitude of factors, I believe that the US will be hit with a hurricane at some point this season. Stay tuned!
