It’s evolving into a typical northern low-pressure system, but it will still spread tropical moisture across the South into the Midwest. Get the tips on how to prepare for hurricane season from Nueces County Emergency Management Coordinator Christopher Boyce. If a non-tropical storm system is able to pull this tropical feature farther north, it could bring impacts to Atlantic Canada late this week. Regardless of whether anything forms, South Florida is expected to get heavy rainfall from a cool front that will slosh through the Peninsula into today.

But it’s most likely to arrive as a moisture surge with gusty squalls.

Nothing is expected to happen soon, but toward the middle or end of the next week, it might be in a position to develop as it approaches the Caribbean islands.

The first tropical storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Tropical Storm Arthur, formed east of Florida on Saturday night. September is typically the busiest month for tropical storm development, and the peak date for tropical activity is usually around Sept. 10. The water is likely to clear much more slowly than normal.

Mousing over the symbol for each weather system displays details for that system; clicking on disturbance symbols or numbers toggles a zoomed view on or off. The National Weather Service is predicting 4 to 6 inches of rain over the next few days, and this will be on top of extra-high tides, which make drainage systems in many coastal areas function poorly. If the Category 4 hurricane had jogged left or even maintained its path, that huge surge from the Gulf would have put Lake Charles under water. Over the next week or so, two tropical disturbances will get ensnared in this large system’s circulation. Recovery there will take years. Bryan Norcross is currently a hurricane specialist at Local 10 News, the station where he began his stretch on television in Miami in 1983. "We don't even know if it's going to make landfall in the Unites States right now," Sommerville said. After all of the names are exhausted, the Greek alphabet will be used. "This feature is expected to become better organized and can develop into a tropical depression at any time through Wednesday as it passes between the East Coast and Bermuda," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Adam Douty said. The disturbance is already showing signs of rotation, although its thunderstorms are quite disorganized.

Published: October 1, 2020, ... Over the next week or so, two tropical disturbances will get ensnared in this large system’s circulation.

The disturbance is expected to "meander" over the southern Gulf of Mexico into the weekend and has a 70 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next five days, the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi said. If you need help with the Public File, call (954) 364-2526.

The National Weather Service expects to know more about the disturbance and its path over the next few days.

In any case, nothing is going to happen quickly.

This typical autumn weather feature is called the Central American Gyre – gyre meaning a large rotating system. With the dissipation of former Hurricane Laura, the tropical Atlantic settled down over this past weekend, but there are already new areas of trouble, and one is fairly close to the East Coast of the United States. The names end with the letter W and exclude Q, U, X, Y and Z.

"Look at a plot of where all the storms made landfall this year and you'll see the Florida Peninsula sticks out like a sore thumb as far as nothing touching it yet.". The next name on the 2020 hurricane list is Gamma, followed by Delta. The next name on the 2020 Atlantic hurricane names list is Gamma. Copyright 2020 by WPLG Local10.com - All rights reserved. A gyre was the impetus for Tropical Storm Narda, which formed in early October 2019, and 2018's Hurricane Michael was born out of a small-scale area of low pressure that became embedded in a large gyre over Central America. This disturbance could become the next tropical storm of the already busy and record-setting 2020 hurricane season. That feature could compete for a name with the system near the U.S., and the Caribbean system will send heavy rain and the risk of life-threatening mudslides and flash flooding into part of Central America later this week. Laura's landfall on Aug. 27, broke previous records set in 1886 and 1916 when six storms struck the continental U.S. through the end of August, according to Colorado State University Meteorologist Phil Klotzbach. Tropical Disturbance #1 is already generating winds over 40 mph in the vicinity of Jamaica, but it’s … However, there will be competition for the N-named storm, due to a budding system in the Caribbean.

Seven-day rainfall amounts in coastal Palm Beach County could be between 5 and 7 inches, according to the Weather Prediction Center. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, there are multiple disturbances that have moved off the coast of Africa or will do so in the coming days this week. The southern part of the disturbance is forecast to move slowly west over the next several days. Right now, there are no signs that’s going to happen, but it’s not impossible. So we’ll keep an eye on the tropics, but the other eye on the sky and on the potentially flooded road ahead. If it drifts over land, it will likely stay fairly weak. The disturbance near south Florida has a 20% chance -- which the Hurricane Center says is low -- of development within five days. We have reached the midpoint of the hurricane season on the calendar, but about 70% of the tropical energy that Mother Nature creates comes after September 1st. Currently the front that pushed down the state over the last couple of days has parked over the extreme southern peninsula. "Periods of heavy rainfall over multiple days Thursday night through Monday," is what South Florida Water Management District meteorologists are predicting. Laura was a Cat 4 with 150 mph winds at landfall in Louisiana on Aug. 28.

With Tropical Storms Nana and Omar both potentially forming this week, both could set early-season formation records. A close-up look at Hurricane Laura’s track as it made landfall in southwestern Louisiana very early yesterday morning shows how close it was to being so much worse.

Since landfall in the U.S. is not expected with the feature sitting off the Carolina coast, impacts will be indirect but perhaps still significant in nature. Published: September 1, 2020, 8:28 am.

In any case, the scooping jet streams will create corridors of tropical moisture that stream over Florida, and South Florida in particular. AccuWeather meteorologists, led by hurricane expert Dan Kottlowski, predicted up to 10 landfalls in the U.S. this season in what is expected to be an extremely active peak hurricane season. Then next week, Disturbance #2 will come along and a similar scenario may play out, with the disturbance, which may become a tropical depression or tropical storm as well, getting caught up in the Gyre’s broad rotation. In any case, the disturbance will spread gusty squalls over Jamaica and the Cayman Islands as it heads west. By satellite, we can see a circulation in the mid-levels of the atmosphere, but the surface circulation is not evident. Chances are increasing that an area of low pressure expected to form in the western Caribbean will turn into the 2020 hurricane season's next tropical cyclone.

In addition to Laura, Marco, Isaias, Hanna, Fay, Cristobal and Bertha all made landfall this year. Gyres are often responsible for spin-ups this time of year.

"So when they form south of Florida they tend to run north and into the Peninsula.". A disturbance moving along a cold front in the southeastern U.S. is one of two areas with a high chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm this week.

In addition to stiff breezes, rough surf and frequent and strong rip currents are in store, especially from the Carolinas to Long Island, regardless of development. The graphic displays all currently active tropical cyclones, and disturbances with tropical cyclone formation potential over the next five days. The NHC gives the Disturbance 2 just a 10-percent chance of tropical development. If you need help with the Public File, call (954) 364-2526. A difficult scenario, to say the least. While all this is playing out, periodically, the northern jet stream is forecast to dip down into the Gulf of Mexico. Florida remains vulnerable through October to tropical systems. Nate holds the early formation record for the "N"-named storm on Sept. 5, 2005, and Ophelia holds the early formation record for the "O"-named storm on Sept. 7, 2005. Lake Charles and the surrounding area suffered badly from Laura’s winds, of course.
