2014 Hurricane Outlook
and Forecasts
The hurricane season in this
hemisphere starts on June 01 and ends on November 30.
During that time frame, for
your convenience, you will find a section below titled, "Tropical
Weather Outlook".
It will contain the daily
tropical storm outlook, forecast and storm track(s).
NOAA predicts
near-normal or below-normal 2014 Atlantic hurricane season.
El Niño is expected to
develop and suppress the number and intensity of tropical cyclones.
This year, the Saharan Air
Layer (SAL) has been decreasing in size and density since May 21,
2014. This is important because it has been postulated, that the SAL,
a cool, dry, layer of air which contains particles, may inhibit the
formation of tropical storms and hurricanes. In addition, as it
decreases in size and density, the probability of tropical storm
formation may increase.
The outlook calls for a 50
percent chance of a below-normal season, a 40 percent chance of a
near-normal season, and only a 10 percent chance of an above-normal
season. For the six-month hurricane season, which begins June
1, NOAA predicts a 70 percent likelihood of 8 to 13 named storms
(winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 3 to 6 could become hurricanes
(winds of 74 mph or higher), including 1 to 2 major hurricanes
(Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher).
These numbers are near or
below the seasonal averages of 12 named storms, six hurricanes and
three major hurricanes, based on the average from 1981 to 2010. The
Atlantic hurricane region includes the North Atlantic Ocean,
Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
There is a very slight chance of scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms, especially during the early morning, late night hours.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
1. The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Gonzalo, located south-southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland. 2. A low pressure system is expected to form over the Bay of Campeche or the southern Gulf of Mexico by the middle of this week. Some gradual development of this system is possible after that time while it moves slowly east-northeastward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
3. A large non-tropical low is expected to form over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean about midway between the Azores Islands and the Canary Islands during the next couple of days. This system could possibly acquire subtropical characteristics by the middle of the week while it moves westward to west-northwestward over relatively warm waters.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
4. Fresh to strong breezes can be expected across the Gulf of Honduras Mon night through Wed. Otherwise...gentle to moderate trades will prevail across the Caribbean waters through the forecast period. A tropical wave will enter the tropical N Atlantic waters W of 55W on Tue...the E Caribbean Wed...and the central Caribbean Thu.
5. A cold front extends from N Florida to the NW Gulf of Mexico. The front will become diffuse from near Tampa Bay to the central Texas coast late tonight. A second cold front will move into the N waters Tue. This front will stall and dissipate from central Florida to S Texas Wed. An area of low pressure is expected to develop over the SW Gulf early next week and drift E through Thu.
6. The highly reliable GFS wind model is predicting westerly winds for this area beginning Wed and continuing through the end of the week.
