HURRICANE GUIDE 2021 HURRICANE SEASON PROJECTIONS Atmospheric scientists from government agencies, academia, and private companies produce their seasonal predictions based on currently observed global atmospheric and oceanic trends as well as long-range modeling of conditions. They also can rely on comparing current or predicted condi- tions with similar previous scenarios, which is referred to as analogs. The following predicitons are not etched in stone, may not fully verify, and are subject to be updated by organizations that chose to do so. Regardless of the predicitons, it’s always important to prepare for the one storm that can cause destruction in a community. ENTITY NAMED STORMS HURRICANES MAJOR HURR.

    Southernmost Weather Reporter National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office Key West, FL Southernmost Weather Reporter National Weather Service ~ Key West, FL Welcome to 2017 Winter Report F E B 2 0 1 7 Inside this Report: e would like to welcome you to the second edition of the “Southernmost Weather Reporter” from the Florida Keys National Weather Service Welcome 1 (NWS). In this newsletter you will find information about some of the Hurricane Tabletop W 2 most important office events that have occurred since our first edition was released Exercise in May 2016. The tropics were active in 2016, with Tropical Depression #9 (the storm Skywarn Training 3 that would eventually become Hurricane Hermine) forming over the Florida Keys DSS aboard NOAA coastal waters in late August, and Hurricane Matthew threatening the Keys in early 4-5 Ship Nancy Foster October before it eventually impacted the east coast of Florida and the Carolinas. We were “all hands on deck” for these two events, conducting numerous briefings, NWS Ambassador 6 working closely with our core Federal, state, and local partners, and launching Program special upper air releases every six hours. Our office participated in what was a first Aviation Workshop 6 for the NWS: a long-term deployment on board a NOAA research vessel to provide decision support. Meteorologists Chip Kasper and Chris Rothwell each joined the Weather Kiosk 7 science team aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster for an expedition in the coastal US Coast Guard Cutter 8 waters of the Florida Keys in August. The NOAA-led research team conducted scuba Visits operations and undertook a variety of research tasks, collecting data necessary to 2016 Hurricane Sea- 9 inform management decisions within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

  • Vulnerability of the Suncoast Connector Toll Road Study Area to Future Storms and Sea Level Rise
    Vulnerability of the Suncoast Connector Toll Road Study Area to Future Storms and Sea Level Rise Michael I. Volk, Belinda B. Nettles, Thomas S. Hoctor University of Florida April, 2020 Suncoast Connector Coastal Vulnerability Assessment 2 Abstract The Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance Program (M-CORES) authorizes the design and construction of three new toll road corridors through portions of Florida, including the proposed Suncoast Connector. This paper assesses the potential vulnerability of the Suncoast Connector study area and specifically the U.S. 19/U.S. 27/U.S. 98 corridor to coastal hazards including storms and sea level rise. The results of this analysis indicate that the study area and existing U.S. 19/U.S. 27/U.S. 98 corridor are not only currently at risk from flooding and coastal storms, but that sea level rise and climate change will significantly exacerbate these risks in the future. Findings include that at least 30 percent of the study area is already at risk from a Category 5 storm surge, with sea level rise projected to increase that risk even further. This region also provides one of the best opportunities for coastal biodiversity to functionally respond to increasing sea level rise, but a new major highway corridor along with the additional development that it facilitates will complicate biodiversity conservation and resiliency efforts. With these concerns in mind, it is critical to ensure that investment in new infrastructure, if pursued within the study area, is strategic and located in areas least vulnerable to impacts and repeat loss and least likely to conflict with efforts for facilitating the adaptation of regional natural systems to sea level rise and other related impacts.

  • Hermine Kills Two, Ruins Beach Weekends in Northward March 4 September 2016, by Jessica Gresko
    Hermine kills two, ruins beach weekends in northward march 4 September 2016, by Jessica Gresko thousands without electricity from Florida to Virginia. It spawned a tornado in North Carolina and closed beaches as far north as New York. "This is not a beach weekend for anyone in the Mid- Atlantic to the northeast," said Eric Blake, a hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Hermine rose up over the Gulf of Mexico and hit Florida on Friday as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening to a tropical storm across Georgia. By 5 a.m. Sunday, Hermine's top sustained winds remained at 65 mph (100 kph) as it moved east- northeast at 12 mph (19 kph). The storm, expected to turn northward on Sunday, was centered about 255 miles southeast of Ocean City, Maryland. Forecasters expected Hermine to regain hurricane force on Sunday as it travels up the coast before weakening again to a tropical storm by Tuesday. Governors all along the coast announced emergency preparations. Tropical storm warnings were in effect as far north as Connecticut. In this photo provided by Tyrrell County Sheriff's office shows a tipped over 18-wheeler in Columbia, N.C., on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016. Tyrrell County Sheriff Darryl Liverman said that high winds tipped over the 18-wheeler, killing its driver and shutting down the U.S. 64 bridge during Tropical Storm Hermine. (Tyrrell County Sheriff's office via AP) The once-and-future Hurricane Hermine regained strength Saturday as it moved slowly up the Eastern Seaboard and made a mess of the holiday weekend.

  • The Effects of Hurricanes on Birds, with Special Reference to Caribbean Islands
    Bird Conservation International (1993) 3:319-349 The effects of hurricanes on birds, with special reference to Caribbean islands JAMES W. WILEY and JOSEPH M. WUNDERLE, JR. Summary Cyclonic storms, variously called typhoons, cyclones, or hurricanes (henceforth, hurricanes), are common in many parts of the world, where their frequent occurrence can have both direct and indirect effects on bird populations. Direct effects of hurricanes include mortality from exposure to hurricane winds, rains, and storm surges, and geo- graphic displacement of individuals by storm winds. Indirect effects become apparent in the storm's aftermath and include loss of food supplies or foraging substrates; loss of nests and nest or roost sites; increased vulnerability to predation; microclimate changes; and increased conflict with humans. The short-term response of bird populations to hurricane damage, before changes in plant succession, includes shifts in diet, foraging sites or habitats, and reproductive changes. Bird populations may show long-term responses to changes in plant succession as second-growth vegetation increases in storm- damaged old-growth forests. The greatest stress of a hurricane to most upland terrestrial bird populations occurs after its passage rather than during its impact. The most important effect of a hurricane is the destruction of vegetation, which secondarily affects wildlife in the storm's after- math. The most vulnerable terrestrial wildlife populations have a diet of nectar, fruit, or seeds; nest, roost, or forage on large old trees; require a closed forest canopy; have special microclimate requirements and/or live in a habitat in which vegetation has a slow recovery rate. Small populations with these traits are at greatest risk to hurricane-induced extinction, particularly if they exist in small isolated habitat fragments.
