2016 Atlantic Tropical Storm Season Nearly Over

The Atlantic Tropical Storm and Hurricane season runs from June 01 to November 30 each year.  We are just a few days away from the official end of the 2016 season… a season that saw an average number of named storms and landfalls in areas where no storms have been present for several years.

Our Tropical Storm Research Center in Gulf Shores, Alabama, will still be monitoring things for several weeks for any post-season development.  We will also be back in mid-May 2017, with pre-season preparedness information.

Please use the link below for off season INLAND storm information for your area. Thank you for following us and thanks for your feedback and comments.

Named Storm Otto -2016

A late season Tropical Storm formed from a tropical depression located just north of Panama. This storm rapidly intensified and is very close to Hurricane Category 1 strength. This storm will be influenced by an upper level system that will take it across Central America and into the Eastern Pacific in a few days. At this time, the storm is not anticipated to affect the US, so unless an unexpected north turn takes place, this will be our only mention of Named Storm Otto.
