• Hurricane Season

    The 2009 Hurricane season and this season has been relatively quiet.

    Tropical Storm Henri formed on October 6,2009.

    One likely reason for this slow season is El Nino. The El Niño is an unusually warm flow of water that can form off the Northweast coast of South America. This can cause the Jet Stream to shift southward which can create wind shear, upper level winds that can slow the development of a hurricane. This does not mean we can not expect some activity.

    William Gray and Phil Klotzbach meteorologists from Colorado State University are calling for a below average season. They expect to see just ten named tropical storms and only expect four to develop into hurricanes.
