![]() “It’s a very interesting scene in the Gulf. “If that happens, the circulating air on rotation would serve as a conveyor belt of wind shear to Laura’s western side,” King said. If Tropical Depression 14 becomes strong enough it could have a detrimental effect on Tropical Storm Laura. King noted that while the storms are two separate systems, they aren’t isolated to each other. Hurricanes typically get a massive boost of energy when they pass over warm waters. Delta marks the strongest Greek-named storm on record. After exhausting a list of prepared names, the World Meteorological Organization turns to the Greek alphabet to name storms. Nothing has been ruled out for next week’s forecast which could see the development of two hurricanes. Hurricane Delta is the 25th named Atlantic storm of the 2020 hurricane season. But there were several damaging hurricanes, including Fiona, Ian and Nicole. The only example of the phenomenon on record was in 2017 between hurricanes Hilary and Irwin. DecemAt a Glance By some metrics, the hurricane season was fairly average. I’m just saying, I wouldn’t be disappointed.” “But deep down, as a weather guy, to see a feat like that is slim. “You know our mission is to keep people safe first and foremost,” King said. When King saw the NHC’s forecast he noted the novelty of the prediction, but was slightly disappointed the storms weren’t predicted to observe a different phenomenon – one of the strangest weather events known as the “fujiwhara effect,” which is when two nearby cyclonic storms begin orbiting each other in a meteorological ballet. ![]() ![]() Land mass between Tropical Storm Laura and the Gulf states’ coast lines could weaken or shift the storm’s trajectory, King said. Still, days lie in between the next week’s forecast and the time either storm could make landfall. A recent study 24 showed that HiFLOR, when nudged toward observed SSTs, can skillfully reproduce the observed year-by-year variations of the frequency of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes (maximum wind. One such event took place in 1933 when Hurricane 8 and Hurricane 11 made landfall one day apart in Texas and Florida. NOAA also has 10 occurrences of two hurricanes making landfall in the United States within days of each other. 6, 2002 with Tropical Storm Fay and Tropical Depression Edouard when they took a dip together in warm Gulf waters for 18 hours. The most recent occurrence was between Sept. It happened again on Jwith Tropical Storm Beulah and Hurricane 3, which overlapped with each other for eight hours. That honor belongs to Hurricane 8 and Hurricane 11, which overlapped by four hours on Sept. Laura and the possible Marco will not however be the first two storms to tango in the Gulf together. 4, 1993 when a major hurricane was over South Florida and another major hurricane was over the western Gulf of Mexico. The first close-call occurrence was on Sept. While the phenomenon is unique, other situations have come close to earning the record first, according to NOAA records. Meanwhile, Laura is predicted to strike the Florida panhandle, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana coastlines by early Wednesday.
