The Tropical Weather Outlook

The hurricane season in this hemisphere, officially begins on Sunday, June 01, 2014.

A tropical wave will move across the tropical N Atlantic waters today and across the Windward Islands tonight...then move across the SE Caribbean Saturday and Saturday night...and reach the SW Caribbean by Tuesday. A second wave will move through the tropical N Atlantic Saturday night and Sunday and through SE Caribbean Monday night.

NOAA predicts near-normal or below-normal 2014 Atlantic hurricane season. El Niño expected to develop and suppress the number and intensity of tropical cyclones.
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).
