The Start of Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season, 2014

The official Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season runs from June 01 through November 30 each year. The Tropical Storm Research Center volunteer staff has analyzed, tracked, evaluated and posted ‘unofficial’ advisories and updates on all named Tropical Storms and Hurricanes since 2006.  Our record regarding storm tracks, landfall intensities and locations has been a bit more accurate than some official reporting agencies.

With the 2014 Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season at hand, we have already been evaluating potential storm development in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico for several weeks. Our computer modeling software is running and we are ready to help you keep yourself and your family advised, unofficially, in the face of these devastating storms. We hope that you used the link that we provided to the National Hurricane Center “Preparedness Week” website. If you wish to review the information presented there, the link can be found in the posting just below this one.

The Tropical Storm Research Center volunteer staff is on the job and watching. We will post information on all named storms and thank you for following us here at gulfstorm.net . Take care and Be Safe.

Weather Information for May 06 to May 11, 2014

A moderate low pressure area, currently off the Washington State and Oregon coast, will be moving across the Rocky Mountains this weekend and will start to draw energy from Gulf of Mexico moisture. The wind patterns aloft and at the surface will most likely create conditions where convection (atmospheric lifting) will take place and with cold air to the north of the low and hot, humid air to the south, significant thunderstorm activitiy may form in the central Plains States as well as the Midwest early this week and extend into next weekend. While it is too early to predict severity, the computer modeling is showing an increasing potential this coming week for significant thunderstorm activity and the possibility of more tornadoes in some of the same central plains areas affected last week.

If you have interests in these areas, please watch your local media and the National Weather Service for official advisories and updates. Use this link for details on INLAND weather issues for the United States:
