After enduring a series of brutal storms, the southeastern U.S. is currently experiencing a period of relative calm. However, meteorologists warn that the 2024 hurricane season is not over yet and could potentially become more active in the coming weeks. The season officially ends on November 30, but tropical development could extend into December.
There are current developments in the Caribbean that could result in the formation of a tropical depression or storm by early November. Forecasters are closely monitoring these systems, with the potential for named storms Patty and Rafael to emerge.
While the Atlantic is currently quiet with no cyclones, there is a possibility of a broad area of low pressure developing in the southwestern Caribbean and moving towards the central Caribbean. Florida and other southeastern states are at risk of experiencing another tropical impact before the season ends.
Historically, November has seen landfall of hurricanes in Florida, highlighting the need for continued vigilance. The favorable conditions of low wind shear and warm water could contribute to the formation of more tropical storms or hurricanes in the region.
Overall, the threat of further storms and potential impacts remains high, prompting continued monitoring and preparation in vulnerable areas. The risk of widespread downpours, mudslides, and flash flooding in the Caribbean underscores the importance of staying informed and taking necessary precautions.
