Hurricanes to Threaten US Late in September, October

While no hurricanes have thus far made landfall on the U.S., forecast weather patterns during the last part of September into October and the first part of November suggest that may be about to change.
AccuWeather.com Hurricane Expert Joe Bastardi is holding firm with his prediction of 18 to 21 named storms in the Atlantic 2010 hurricane season.
Additionally, Joe still expects multiple direct impacts on the U.S.



As the Cape Verde season winds down in October, which is a typical occurrence, the raging La Nina in the Pacific opens the door for warm waters in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico to take center stage.
Changing weather patterns and the approach of cool fronts from northern latitudes would then generate and help steer these tropical storms and hurricanes onto the U.S. coastline in the Gulf, and potentially along the Atlantic Seaboard.
Joe stated that the Cape Verde season typically winds down in October, as prior hurricanes have churned and cooled these waters. At the same time, the Asian Monsoon diminishes, ending the parade of disturbances across Africa and the infamous tropical waves around the Cape Verde Islands.
Breeding grounds during the last third of hurricane season typically migrate toward the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and far western Atlantic because of this.



According to Bastardi, "A switch from an El Nino to La Nina pattern is notorious for a jam-packed late hurricane season."
As a result, people in the coastal U.S., especially along the Gulf of Mexico, should not let their guard down.
Joe asserts, "There is an imbalance in the atmosphere, and much more energy has yet to be released."
Incidentally, at least one computer model insists a potent hurricane will form in the western Caribbean or the southern Gulf of Mexico before the end of September.

Ik lees net op Accuweather dat dat inderdaad gaat gebeuren. En die orkaan zal de V.S. ook gaan bereiken. Begin oktober staat dat gepland.

Ben benieuwd naar dat gebied in de Carraïben.. Lisa gaat niets worden, die wordt tegengehouden door hogedrukgebieden lijkt het wel.

Igor is trouwens nog steeds flink actief. Nog steeds razen er orkaanwinden rond het centrum en New Foundland krijgt daar een flinke veeg van mee. Zelfs als het centrum van Igor New Foundland is gepasseerd en op rond 60 graden noorderbreedte is aangekomen, wordt Igor nog op orkaansterkte gezet en pas daarna, als hij verder naar het noordwesten koerst, neemt de windsterkte af. Hoe dan ook, het moge duidelijk zijn dat Igor op zeer grote afstand van Europa blijft.

An area of low pressure over the south central Caribbean may develop into Matthew over the next couple of days as conditions become more favorable for development.
Too much dry air and too much wind shear have been in place for the low to become better organized so far; however, wind shear is weakening as the low moves over very warm water of the Caribbean.



The system could organize into a depression later today and a tropical storm by Saturday.
Whether the system develops or not, it will target Central America with potentially flooding rainfall over the weekend.
The track of the system is still uncertain after it unleashes torrential rainfall over portions of Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and southeastern Mexico.
Two different scenarios are that the system will keep moving westward from the Gulf of Honduras into next week or it will first stall then move northward in the Caribbean.
More models are pointing to a conclusion that the system will move northward, over Cuba. This puts Florida at risk for a direct impact from the storm by the middle of next week.
Keep checking back with AccuWeather.com for more information on the potential development of this low into Matthew.
More systems are also likely to form in the Caribbean and the southwestern Atlantic over the next couple of weeks.
