The third tropical depression of the 2021 Pacific hurricane season, Tropical Depression Three-E, developed Saturday afternoon over the open eastern Pacific far from any land areas, and is likely to become a moderate to strong tropical storm without affecting any land. In the Atlantic, Invest 92L has been designated over the Bay of Campeche, which has a medium chance to develop over the next five days. A long-tracked disturbance (Invest 92E) over the eastern Pacific that was given a 90%…

2021 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins; TS Blanca likely to weaken soon

Today is June 1, the official start date of the Atlantic hurricane season. As has been the case every year since 2015, a pre-season named storm has already developed – Tropical Storm Ana, which developed northeast of Bermuda in late May and had very minimal impact. While there are currently no active tropical cyclones or disturbances in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Blanca is active over the eastern Pacific, but poses no threat to land and is likely to weaken soon….

Cyclonic Fury’s May 2021 Atlantic hurricane season forecast: Above-normal season expected, but less active than 2020

The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins a week from today, June 1. However, we have already seen one named storm form: Tropical Storm Ana, which formed northeast of Bermuda on Saturday and became a remnant low late Sunday night. Ana’s formation marked the seventh straight year with a pre-season named storm in the Atlantic basin. While tropical cyclogenesis appears unlikely for at least the next 7-10 days in the Atlantic basin, Cyclonic Fury is forecasting yet another above-average Atlantic…

Subtropical Storm Ana forms northeast of Bermuda, extending the Atlantic pre-season activity streak to seven straight years

On Saturday morning, the non-tropical area low pressure area located northeast of Bermuda acquired subtropical characteristics and sufficient deep convection to be classified as Subtropical Storm Ana, making 2021 the seventh straight year in which a pre-season named storm developed. Ana is moving away from Bermuda, is already weakening and is likely to become a remnant low on Sunday. As of 5:00 p.m. EDT, Subtropical Storm Ana was centered near 34.5°N 62.4°W, and was moving northeastward at about 5 mph….

Invest 90L northeast of Bermuda likely to become subtropical storm by Saturday morning, Invest 91L in Gulf running out of time to develop

Invest 90L northeast of Bermuda likely to become subtropical storm by Saturday morning, Invest 91L in Gulf running out of time to develop

Comments 0 Comment

There continues to be two “Invests” – short for Area of Investigation – being monitored by the National Hurricane Center for potential tropical or subtropical development. Invest 90L is located northeast of Bermuda, and Invest 91L is located over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Both of the systems have developed well-defined circulation centers, but lack sufficient organized deep convection as of this time. It appears likely that the Atlantic will have at least one subtropical or tropical cyclone develop prior…

After a recent increase in tropical and subtropical activity in the month of May, the National Hurricane Center announced in February its plans to issue routine Tropical Weather Outlooks starting on May 15 in 2021. It appears to have been the right decision. There are now two areas of interest being monitored by the National Hurricane Center for potential development: Invest 90L in the western Atlantic, which has a high chance of development, and Invest 91L in the Gulf of…

Hurricane Iota of November 2020, which operationally was assessed as a Category 5 hurricane and was originally considered to be the latest Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record, had its Tropical Cyclone Report (TCR) released on Tuesday. The report downgraded its maximum sustained winds to 135 knots (155 mph) – making it a high-end Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Iota, the final named storm of the record-breaking 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, caused significant damage to Nicaragua,…

Tropical Storm Zeta is expected to re-intensify into a hurricane on Wednesday and make landfall tomorrow evening over southeastern Louisiana. 2020 has already seen 4 named storms, 2 hurricanes and 1 major hurricane make landfall in Louisiana. Five hurricanes have hit the United States so far in 2020 (Hanna in late July, Isaias in early August, Laura in late August, Sally in mid-September, and Delta in early October) – and Zeta is likely to be the sixth.
