the latest information.
This is not only convenient
but allows you to track weather events such as cold fronts and
hurricanes from a single web page.
In addition, in the right

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.
Thursday, October
30, 2014
Today, skies will be
partly cloudy. Winds will be light and ENE to N in direction at 5
mph to 10 mph or less. Seas
will be moderate to calm at 1 to 3 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 heavy rain showers and isolated thunderstorms, as a low
pressure system continues to move slowly out of the area and west of
us.
The Tropical Weather
Outlook
1. A westward-moving area of low pressure, located just
north of the Virgin Islands, is producing disorganized showers and
thunderstorms mainly to the northeast and north of the center.
Upper-level winds are expected to remain unfavorable for tropical
cyclone development while the system turns toward the northwest and
north over the next couple of days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.
2. A tropical wave will move through the central
Caribbean today and lose identity in the W Caribbean on Fri. A weak
low pressure near 19N64W 1008 mb will move along the N coast of
Puerto Rico today and along the N coast of Hispaniola on Fri
dragging a weak trough W across the Caribbean waters to the N of
16N. A strong cold front will move into the NW Caribbean Fri
night...reaching from the Windward Passage to NE Nicaragua Sat
night...then dissipating from the Mona passage to Costa Rica on Sun
night into Mon with fresh to locally strong NE winds spreading E
across the Caribbean in its wake.
