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.
Tuesday,
August 19, 2017
Today,
skies will be mostly sunny. Winds will be easterly in direction at 8
mph to 12 mph; increasing to 15 mph to 25 mph this afternoon and
evening. Seas
will be choppy to rough 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.
Expect
decreasing cloudiness and rain as the tropical wave passes to the W
of us today.
Coral
Spawning
Divers should look for signs of
coral spawning on night dives for the next 1 to 2 days.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
1. Shower
activity associated with a weak and elongated area of low pressure
centered about 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is limited.
Although development of this system is not expected during the next
couple of days, some slow development is possible by the end of the
week when the system approaches the Lesser Antilles and moves into
the Caribbean Sea.
*
Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation
chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
2. A
tropical wave located about midway between the west coast of Africa
and the Lesser Antilles is producing disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Any development of this system is expected to be slow
to occur during the next several days while it moves to the
west-northwest at about 10 mph. * Formation chance through 48
hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5
days...low...20 percent.
3. A
tropical wave over the Yucatan Channel and W Caribbean will continue
W of the area early today. A second tropical wave will pass W through
the tropical Atlantic waters tonight and Wednesday...pass through the
E Caribbean on Thursday...and reach the central Caribbean on Friday
and Saturday. A third tropical wave will reach the tropical Atlantic
waters on Friday and pass through the lesser Antilles on Saturday.
