2023 Eastern Pacific Hurricane names #Dora (Hawaii wildfires) & #Otis (Acapulco, Mexico) have been retired. Will be replaced by Debora & Otilio in the six year rotation of storm names.
The decision, based on if storm considered so deadly, costly or too sensitive to use again, is made at the annual spring WMO meeting (World Metrological Organization - an international body focused on cooperation in meteorology & atmospheric sciences).
NHC issues Hurricane #Dora (2023) report. To be updated with additional information by Central Pacific Hurricane Center at later date.
Dora's presence helped tighten pressure gradient with High to the North indirectly increasing winds that spread devastating #Maui fire #HIwx #Hawaii
The full report, along with other 2023 reports completed thus far from NHC, can be found here: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php
@Pat_Walrond And conditions may return to Neutral / La Niña just in time for peak hurricane season too. Could get interesting…
Just 100 days until the start of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season!
@LnzyHou No current storms, just a sample image of new version of cone map that will be released starting in August - includes inland Watch and Warnings instead of just coastal.
NHC 2024 annual hurricane product update announced. Key new features:
-AI generated Spanish translation of additional products for Atlantic/East Pacific(was humans at NWS Puerto Rico, if time allowed)
-Rainfall forecast maps for Central America & Caribbean(was US only)
-Easier to issue US Watch/Warnings (matches international now).
-Links to more info added to 'public advisory' text.
-Previously mentioned inland US Watch/Warnings to cone map(coming Aug2024)
Full report: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/NHC_New_Products_Updates_2024.pdf
Tropical Storm #Akara forms in the South Atlantic. Located about 900km East of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Last animation shows storm pulling tropical moisture from the North. 19Feb2024
(Note: NHC monitors the North Atlantic (North of equator), so no traditional maps/info from them).
Experimental version of cone map coming 15Aug. Adds inland Tropical Storm & Hurricane Watch/Warning (currently your local NWS office issues) (US only, other countries stay same with coastal watch/warning). Cone is more transparent as emphasis turns towards impact/risk. Cone shape/size does not determine risk, it's just average error in center point forecast track over last 5 years. Regular cone map will continue to be issued along side it. Feb2024 https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/NHC_Cone_Graphic_Change_Announcement.pdf
