2021 Hurricanes / Tropical Storms

Post by JEBar » Fri May 28, 2021 2:16 pm

ready or not, Image here it comes .... Atlantic hurricane season begins next week. Here's what AccuWeather forecasters predict that the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season will result in 16-20 named storms, including seven to 10 hurricanes. Of the storms projected to reach hurricane strength, three to five are predicted to become major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher storms that have maximum sustained winds of 111 mph or greater). AccuWeather’s forecast, when compared to that 30-year average, indicates that 2021 is expected to be an above-normal season for tropical activity in the Atlantic. A normal season is considered to have 14 storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes. Last year, 14 hurricanes formed, and seven of those reached the major hurricane threshold, and, upon further review, no hurricanes last year reached Category 5 force. ... the above info was condensed from this link ===>

with all of the above in mind, we can use this thread to keep all of our related conversations in a single thread ....

Time to batten down the hatches. Being in central VA not too worried, but rains and some wind may be a problem. Coastal areas get hit the much harder. My daughter is very close to coastal VA so I worry about her.

good question and I had no clue .... looked it up :

"The lists of hurricane names for each season are chosen by the World Meteorological Organization (not The Old Farmer’s Almanac). There are six lists of names for Atlantic and Pacific storms, which are cycled through every six years. The lists have been maintained since 1953 (originally by the National Hurricane Center)."

Hey Jim-

I sure hope they are over-estimating, but I’m not holding my breath.

With the high price of plywood, people maybe a little reluctant to board up.

Poor Louisiana, they must have a big bullseye on the state. Seems like these storms love tearing up that area.
