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.

2014
Today, skies will be
partly sunny. Winds will be westerly and variable in direction at 10
mph to 20 mph or higher. Seas
will be choppy at 2 to 4 feet. The air temperatures will range from
the mid to high 70s (ºF) to the mid to high 80s (ºF) or 24ºC to
26ºC. Ocean water temperatures are 82°F to 84°F or 24ºC to 25ºC.
Visibility is 20 to 80 ft.
There is a chance of
scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms, as the remnants of
TD 9 and a cold front move over the NW Caribbean.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
1. An area of cloudiness and thunderstorms centered
over southeastern Yucatan, Belize, and the adjacent northwestern
Caribbean Sea is associated with the remnants of Tropical Depression
Nine. Surface pressures are rising in the area, and redevelopment is
unlikely while the system drifts eastward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.
2. A surface low will move NE along the N coast of Cuba
today dragging a cold front into the NW Caribbean. The cold front
will continue E stalling from E Cuba to NE Honduras late Sat.
Another low pressure center will develop along the southern portion
of the frontal boundary late Sat night. The low will move W across
the Gulf of Honduras on Sun through Tue. A tropical wave over the E
Caribbean will pass through the central Caribbean tonight and
Sat...and lose identity over the W Caribbean on Sun and Mon. A
second tropical wave will move across the tropical N Atlantic waters
on Sat night and Sun...and pass through the E Caribbean on Mon and
Tue.
3. 20 mph to 30 mph westerly winds are forecast for the
Bay Islands on Saturday.
