No, your eyes are not deceiving you. You are seeing, count 'em, FIVE different Tropical Cyclones in the Atlantic at the same time. This is something that has only happened one other time in recorded history!

I always find that Before/After pictures can really put things into perspective.
#Laura
and its destructive winds leaving this building in Lake Charles, LA basically window free!
Lots of debris gathering on the side of this rail bridge that goes over the Cape Fear River in Fayetteville,NC! Some worry if it’ll be able to withstand the pressure. Just a week ago, I was standing below it, looking up, thinking “no way that water gets THAT high”. I was wrong!
Such a horrible situation when it comes to
#Hurricane
#Otis
&
#Acapulco
! How in the world did it intensify so quickly? A tropical storm to
#Cat5
in the blink of an eye is NUTS, especially when the models didn’t remotely hint at the possibility!
No joke!!! You could walk faster than
#Sally
is moving right now. It is traveling at 2 miles per hour. The average walking speed of a human is about 3-4 miles per hour.
Not sure there is a better way to capture the ridiculousness of 2020. This is for real for real, by the way.

I know people get upset when we aren't able to pinpoint exactly where the heaviest snow is going to fall but here is a prime example of how impossible it is. The difference between 2 feet of snow versus a couple of inches...
We show video all the time of what not to do when roads take on water. I wanted to show a prime example of what you should do if you run into this situation. The car in the far distance is what happens when you ignore the warning.

#Hilary
BUT the heat & humidity in the middle of the country is borderline unreal! This is an observation in Eastern Kansas. Temps around 106 with Dew Points in the mid 80s. Heat Index up to 138!!!
#KSwx
🥵
The peak storm surge for Hurricane
#Laura
is 10-15 ft above ground. In some place, the push of water could go up to 30 miles inland. It's hard to wrap my brain around that.

The only proper name left on the list for this 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season is
#Wilfred
. FYI, once we run out of names, we go to the Greek alphabet. We still have more than two months of the season to go!
1/We'll be seeing the damage done along the coast but the story with Hurricane
#Laura
is not over yet as it continues inland. Strong winds will move North and East towards Western Tennessee.
This monster is NOT Hurricane
#Lee
but it is Hurricane
#Jova
, which is churning in the Eastern Pacific! Thank goodness this Category 5 storm with 160mph winds is out in the middle of nowhere and impacting no one!
Sobering sight seeing the eye of
#Ida
approach the coast of Louisiana. Really hoping people took this seriously and were able to get out of harms way. 🙏🏾
Well that escalated quickly! We have the 2nd named storm of the season, which hasn't even official started yet! Tropical Storm

For clarification:
The World Meteorological Organization did not name this storm after Hillary Clinton. 'Hilary' was first used as a name in 1975 & has been used every 6 years since. Also, Hurricane 'Hilary' is spelled with 1 'L'. Mrs. Clinton is spelled with 2 'L's.

Hurricane
#Ian
did a number on several piers in the Myrtle Beach, SC area. Including, the Cherry Grove Pier which was split in half by the churned up Atlantic. It has seen damage from other storms over the decades & been rebuilt. The expectation is no different this time around.

It's definitely active in the tropics. But it is the climatological peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season so expected. The big question is will any of these have an impact on land?

Today was my 25th anniversary at The Weather Channel! I worked off-camera as a forecaster, data/graphics meteorologist, and on the Science & Strategy team before I was full-time on-air! Here’s a throwback from the ol Weekend in View team!
It is not out of the realm of possibilities for
#Michael
to make landfall as a Category 4 Hurricane. A rare thing for the month of October! In fact, it's only happened 4 times on record! Please take this storm seriously!
Nobody wants the smoke that mother nature will be sending our way next week! We're talking high temps in many places that will be below zero. And that's not factoring any wind. I've got more details w/ Alexandra Steele &

This storm is going to be pretty serious. Big time snow totals (see below for some of the potential hardest hit areas). Could be more than is shown right now. Possible Blizzard conditions & coastal flooding too! Stay with the

We're in the middle of the 3rd winter storm in a week! How about we add another one for "fun"?

is bringing heavy rain to the Carolinas today. But another area to watch has fired up in the SW Gulf of Mexico. Very good chance it will develop. Where it will go is very uncertain right now. We'll be tracking it on the

#Sally
now forecast to be a Category 2 Hurricane with 100mph winds around landfall. But it will also be moving slowly which increases the rainfall/flood threat.

A lot less green in the bottom picture. This along the Cape Fear River in Fayetteville, NC! Since we’ve been out at 7am ET it has risen about 6 feet! Another 23 feet is forecast! Please heed warnings and evacuation orders.
Two Tropical Cyclones in the Atlantic and they both could have an impact on the US in the coming days. Soooooo, I'm sure you have questions. Send them our way. Use the hashtag
#HurricaneQuestions
and we'll answer as many as we can on the

If you are far inland, you need to pay attention to Hurricane
#Laura
as well. It's not only about the coast. 50/50 shot of wind speeds of tropical storm force reaching into Southern Arkansas. Prepare for power outages.
Tropical Depression Ten has formed in the Atlantic. This is forecast to become the "I" storm. If you are keeping track, that name is Imelda. Gotta watch this closely in the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Bahamas.
The time to prepare for
#Michael
is fast approaching. The immediate FL coast should be done with outdoor preps prior to 2am because that's when those Tropical Storm Winds are expected to arrive. When they kick in, it becomes very difficult to be outside.
Tropical Storm
#Nicole
will be a prime example of impacts being felt outside of the cone! Look at how far away from the cone the Tropical Storm force winds extend!
Super fast
#Zeta
will bring Tropical Storm force wind gusts (yellow) waaaaaay inland. Lots of trees in the path of this hurricane that could come down. We have to be prepared for power outages. We have the details on the

#Ida
is a strong Category 1 Hurricane. Winds are 85 mph and pressure is down to 984 mb.
It's still forecasted to rapidly intensify over the next 24 hrs.
Tropical Storm Warnings have been extended eastward to the AL/FL border.
Stay safe and stay tuned for LIVE Ida coverage.
#Elsa
is already making a name for itself. Earliest 5th named storm in the satellite era & the farthest east a Hurricane has formed this early in the year since the 30s (h/t
@philklotzbach
).
So,
@JenCarfagno
& I want to know what your thoughts are on the tropical season.
Not hard to spot the cold front. It's bringing chilly changes to parts of the South. Example: At noon, Memphis will be in the low 70s. By morning, expect 20s. Brrr! I'll let you know how long it'll last alongside

Here's the list of names for this Hurricane season. Looks like the one I'm sure to jack up pronouncing will be the "I" storm, Isaias. It is pronounced "ees-ah-EE-ahs". For that, and obvious and more important reasons, I'm hoping we never make it to "I".
Sound the school bell! Tuesday's lesson looks at Dust Devils. How do they form and are they different from tornadoes?
