Tracking the Tropics

Oscar is a tropical storm over eastern Cuba and may re-strengthen once it emerges back over water on Tuesday. It could threaten Bermuda mid-week before racing towards eastern Canada later this week as a non-tropical storm.

We will be looking at the Caribbean Sea in early November. It is time to start talking about the potential for one or several systems to form in the Caribbean between November 1 and 15.

Generally speaking, hurricanes in the Caribbean during November do not track toward the United States. Only three hurricanes have hit Florida during November since 1850. So, while it has happened before, it is statistically unlikely.

That said, ocean heat is very high, and wind shear looks to be very light.

If you have travel plans to the Caribbean, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, or any of the islands, you should monitor the forecast closely in early November. At this point, we will not rule out a threat to Florida, but that appears unlikely at this time, given the historical context of most hurricanes in the Caribbean in November. They do not come to Florida.

The next name on the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season list is Patty.
