Named Storm Arlene – 2023

Named Storm Arlene formed in the East Central Gulf of Mexico from a tropical depression. The storm may be short lived because of upper level wind shear that will most likely dissipate the storm over the next few days as it moves south toward western Cuba.

Persons along the Gulf Coast of Florida may see occasional rain and gusty winds as well as some higher wave action. We will monitor this system, but this will probably be our only mention of Tropical Storm Arlene.

The End of the 2022 Tropical Weather Season is Drawing Near.

The Season does not officially end until November 30, however, with conditions in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico unfavorable for Tropical Storm formation, we are fairly confident that no additional significant storm activity will be taking place.

The 2022 Season had less activity than many forecasters had predicted, but our own projections from late April 2022 were very close to the actual number of named storms.

While the majority of the 2022 storms stayed out in the Atlantic, several made landfall in the Caribbean Islands, Cuba, the Bahamas as well as in Central America and Mexico. Hurricane Ian, a high Category 4 storm, made landfall in Lee County Florida on September 28, continuing across central Florida, taking over 100 lives and causing billions of dollars in damage. Then on November 10, Hurricane Nicole, a Category 1 storm, made landfall near Vero Beach, Florida and went east to west across the same areas that had been affected by ‘Ian’ causing more flooding and damage.

While current conditions are unfavorable for storm development, our TSRC volunteers will be monitoring until early December.

Please refer to the link below for an interactive map provided by the National Weather Service for details, watches and warnings regarding INLAND storms and weather concerns.

Named Storm Nicole – 2022 – Update Nov. 9

Named Storm Nicole is expected to strengthen to near or at Hurricane Category 1 strength before landfall along the East Coast of Florida. The exact landfall location is not too important with this storm because Tropical Storm Force winds extend across a 460 mile diameter. Storm Surge warnings are in effect ahead of this storm extending from North Palm Beach Florida to north of the Florida/Georgia border. A 3 to 5 foot storm surge can be expected in this area with a total water rise including tidal rise of 4 to 6 feet. This is a life threatening water rise with significant wave action above the surge level. Persons in this warning area may see mandatory evacuation orders from Local Emergency Government Authorities. The east coast of Florida, coastal Georgia and southeastern South Carolina will also see significant rip currents, beach erosion and lowlands flooding. Rain amounts along the track of this storm could be in the range of 4 to 6 inches with more possible in some locations.

Persons in the entire State of Florida, especially from Miami to Jacksonville, the southern half of Georgia and the Carolina’s should be carefully monitoring the progress of Named Storm Nicole.
