The Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season runs officially from June 01 to November 30 each year.

The frequency and intensity of developing storms in these areas is directly tied to the average surface water temperature in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean. If a warmer than average water temperature in the Pacific is seen, the effect is called El Nino.  If a cooler than average water temperature in the Pacific is seen, the effect is called “La Nina”.

As of late February, 2018, we are seeing a La Nina pattern and if this continues for a few more months, the 2018 Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico could  see a marked increase in storm formation.

We are monitoring this condition and will post updates as needed.

After several US landfalls since August,  we are finally closing in on the end of the 2017 Atlantic Tropical Storm Season on November 30.

That being said, we will be monitoring all areas where Atlantic Basin storms form well into December in case any post season storms were to develop.

After several US landfalls since August, there may be a pause in storm formation for now.  We are providing the link to the National Hurricane Center for current information and any archived storm data for the 2017 season.

That being said, we are still monitoring all areas where Atlantic Basin storms form, in case any late season storms were to develop.

Named Storm Philippe formed in the western Caribbean from a Tropical Depression.   Persons in Florida south of a line from Fort Meyers to Vero Beach should be monitoring the progress of this storm this weekend for some heavy rain, gusty wind, high surf and some tornadoes. This is a quick moving storm, so due to the limited US coastal involvement of this storm, this will be our only unofficial advisory.

We are updating our previous information on this storm system to include the official name and to now include Louisiana in the advisory area, due to a slight westerly shift in the cone of probability as the result of interaction this weekend with an inland cold front.

Review the information provided in the two posts below this one.

Tropical Depression 16 is located off the east coast of Nicaragua in the western Caribbean.  This area of low pressure is forecast to move generally northerly and will most likely become Named Tropical Storm Nate – 2017 within 24 hours.  Since this storm will be going into favorable conditions for development over the next couple of days, we are posting this unofficial advisory for persons in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi to watch the progress of this storm carefully. We are also recommending that persons in these listed states be prepared for a possible Sunday, October 8  landfall as a strong Tropical Storm or even a Category 1 or 2 Hurricane.
