Atlantic Hurricane Forecast
Atlantic Hurricane Forecast: Storms Close to the Coast
By Meghan Evans, Meteorologist 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season forecasts 12 named tropical storms, five named hurricanes and two major hurricanes. The 2012 hurricane forecast is near-normal for the Atlantic Basin. Potential Impact This Year Predicting exactly where storms will make landfall in the U.S. would be extremely difficult, but there are some indications of areas where storms may brew and coasts that may be vulnerable based on weather patterns anticipated this summer. "Home-grown" storms in the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, near the U.S. Coast, are a possibility this year. "Fronts coming down during June and July could cause energy to break off and develop tropically," Paul Pastelok, AccuWeather.com lead long-range forecaster, said. "Another big storm is possible for the East Coast with heavy, flooding rain," Pastelok added. "With a ridge [of high pressure] over the Rockies and a trough [of low pressure] over the Great Lakes and Appalachians, the East Coast will be open for a hit [this summer]. Of course, this depends on where the storms form." Meteorologists Warn Against False Sense of Security Although the overall forecast numbers for 2012 are lower than 2011, AccuWeather.com meteorologists warn that it only takes one major hit to the U.S. to have a huge and devastating impact. "People should take preliminary precautions and make preparations for hurricane season. Get a hurricane plan together and get hurricane supplies in order, such as materials to mitigate property damage. Make a family plan for evacuation, including what to bring," Kottlowski said. The 1992 Atlantic Hurricane Season is an example of how overall numbers can lead to a false sense of security and one storm can break "hurricane amnesia" for places that have not had a direct hit in years. The tropical season started slow and there were low numbers of named systems in 1992. During the entire season there was one subtropical storm, three tropical depressions, two tropical storms and four hurricanes. The first tropical storm of the season was named on one of the latest dates ever recorded, on August 17. That storm was named Andrew and later strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane before slamming into Homestead, Fla. Andrew is one of the most infamous hurricanes to strike Florida, and the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. since Hurricane Camille in 1969. According to NOAA, Andrew caused $26 billion in damage and killed more than 60 people. |

Re: Atlantic Hurricane Forecast
ooooer, Hurricane Season is bad for us here in the Caribbean and usually it hits us first before it goes on to the USA & Canada.
I usually keep the Hurricane/Tropical Storm Warning Thread up to date during that period, perhaps if you have time you could do the same please photostill Hurricane & Tropical Storm Warnings Thanks Love your new pic in your signature and your new title, it suits you. LOL

Re: Atlantic Hurricane Forecast
Knowing that it's coming in June, I usually have 3 or 4 weather sites in the bookmarks to keep an eye on them. I was checking local weather and wondered if they had up the usual pre-season prediction on it. Never did get wrapped in my head that the main prediction place was Colorado.
At any rate, I'll keep my eye peeled for what comes down the pipes. Lols on the title. Never paid much mind to post counts and e-XXXXX stuff. Power goes off at the server, you find just how meaningful it is. Quality of posting was never in counts. Err, thank you.
