They also predicted an ACE index of around 110 units. [287] By 15:20 UTC on October 6, a Hurricane Hunters reconnaissance aircraft found that the system had continued to rapidly intensify into a Category 4 major hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 130 mph (210 km/h). It then moved north-northeast towards the west coast of Florida, briefly restrengthening into a minimal hurricane along the way. [391] Though sea surface temperatures were relatively cold and there was moderate wind shear, the air mass was unstable enough to let Theta maintain its strength. [113] As the hurricane approached landfall, local officials underscored the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic when warning residents living in flood-prone neighborhoods about the prospect of evacuation. The system acquired a well-defined circulation, and a tropical depression formed at 00:00 UTC on July 23 about 235 mi (380 km) south-southeast of Port Eads, Louisiana. In the United States, Isaias triggered a large tornado outbreak that prompted the issuance of 109 tornado warnings across 12 states. [188] Dry air entrainment gave the storm a somewhat ragged appearance, but it continued to slowly strengthen as it approached Bermuda with its eye clearing out and its convection becoming more symmetric. At 15:00 UTC on September 8, Paulette reached its first peak intensity with 1-minute sustained winds of 65 mph (100 km/h) with a minimum central pressure of 995 mbar (29.39 inHg). [240] As Teddy began to undergo an extratropical transition on September 22, while moving toward Nova Scotia, its windfield expanded greatly, with hurricane-force winds extending outward up to 150 mi (240 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 550 mi (890 km). [195] It moved eastward over the next day, and became post-tropical for the second time in its lifespan early on September 23[196] and subsequently dissipated. [190] The storm then strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane as it accelerated northeast away from the island on September 14, reaching its peak intensify of 105 mph (170 km/h) and a pressure of 965 mb (28.50 inHg) later that day. Although convection quickly redeveloped, the storm then encountered high wind shear, causing the cyclone to weaken. [nb 1] It was the second and final season to use the Greek letter storm naming system, the first being 2005. [11] On April 2, 2020, forecasters at CSU echoed predictions of an above-average season, forecasting 16 named storms, 8 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 150 units. #Hurricane Season 2020: How are they named? [369] Eta knocked down power lines and trees while damaging roofs and causing flooding in and around Puerto Cabezas. [385] The system became better organized as it began to detach from a frontal boundary during the following day. [29], Tropical cyclogenesis began in the month of May, with tropical storms Arthur and Bertha. [209] However, upwelling due to its slow movement as well increasing wind shear weakened Sally back down to Category 1 strength early the next day. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low. This allowed it to strengthen into Tropical Storm Josephine at 12:00 UTC on August 13, reaching an initial peak intensity of 45 mph (75 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 1,005 mbar (29.7 inHg). [199] Rene produced gusty winds and heavy rains across the islands, but no serious damage was reported. [5] Iota ultimately made landfall in the same general area of Central America that Eta had just weeks earlier and caused catastrophic damage. The convective activity weakened that day, but a small mid-level circulation formed from the system and it re-developed some thunderstorm activity that night while it moved slowly northeastward off the coast of South Carolina. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season reached 182.2250 units. Not good. When? A well-defined center of circulation formed on September 17. After about five days of slow southward movement, the extratropical cyclone began to redevelop a warm core and its wind field shrank considerably. [207][208] It continued to gain strength and became a Category 2 hurricane later that evening. In Florida, Tropical Storm Fay made landfall in the Florida Panhandle in July. Forecasts of hurricane activity are issued before each hurricane season by noted hurricane experts, such as Philip J. Klotzbach and his associates at Colorado State University (CSU), and separately by NOAA forecasters. This marked the first occurrence of two pre-season tropical storms in the Atlantic since 2016, and the first occurrence of two named storms in the month of May since 2012. [352], Tropical Depression Twenty-Nine formed at 21:00 UTC on October 31,[353] and then strengthened into Tropical Storm Eta at 03:00 UTC on November 1. Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigated the system later that day and found that the storm's center had relocated further north in the afternoon hours and Josephine reached its maximum intensity of 45 mph (75 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 1,004 mbar (29.6 inHg) at 18:00 UTC. It moved over southern Ireland and the southern United Kingdom on July 9 and dissipated over the latter country that day. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Vicky six hours later based on scatterometer data. [21], CSU released an updated forecast on June 4, calling for 19 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. [3] Laura caused at least $19 billion in damage and 77 deaths. [400] At 06:00 UTC on November 16, hurricane hunters aircraft reported that Iota had become a Category 3 hurricane. [111] However, the storm's impact ended up being significantly smaller than originally anticipated. This ties 2020 with 1995 and 2010 for the most rapidly intensifying named storms in a single Atlantic hurricane season on record. Around June 17, an area of disturbed weather developed just north of the Bahamas after part of a tropical wave and an upper-level trough interacted. So if you think you were tropically fatigued, you are rightfully so. As Cristobal moved further north into the Gulf of Mexico, it again reached winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) before dry air and interaction with an upper-level trough to the east began to strip Cristobal of any central convection, with most of the convection being displaced to the east and north of the center. Throughout the United States, Hanna killed five people and caused about $1.1 billion in damage. [26], On August 5, CSU released an additional updated forecast, their final for 2020, calling for a near-record-breaking season, predicting a total of 24 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes, citing the anomalously low wind shear and surface pressures across the basin during the month of July and substantially warmer than average tropical Atlantic and developing La Niña conditions. Use of this naming protocol had only happened once before, in 2005. pic.twitter.com/JC7mdIRonn, PHOTOS: 2020 Hurricane Delta, in Mexico and preparations across the northern Gulf Coast. [389] By the following morning, the effects of strong southwesterly shear had weakened Theta somewhat,[390] though it soon began to regain some strength, and by 03:00 UTC on November 12, attained maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (100 km/h). If we zoom in closer, and to verify the forecast ahead of the end of the hurricane season, many storms have struck around the states along the Gulf Coast. Follow our Severe Weather team on Twitter for live updates: Moffitt Cancer Center: Community of Courage. Turns out the names were Greek to a lot of people, and forecasters worried about creating confusion. [247] Two people drowned in the waters off La Pocita in Loíza, Puerto Rico due to rip currents generated by these swells on September 18,[248] as did a swimmer at Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey on September 23. [86] Overall, Bertha caused at least $133,000 in damage. [333] As Epsilon began moving away from Bermuda on October 23, the tropical storm warning was cancelled. [267][268] It degenerated into a remnant low at 03:00 UTC on September 23. [403] Iota weakened to a high-end Category 4 hurricane at 03:00 UTC on November 17 as it approached the coast of Nicaragua. A good place to donate would be World Vision. [203] At 06:00 UTC on September 12, the depression crossed the Florida coast just south of Miami, with winds of 35 mph (55 km/h) and a pressure of 1007 mbar (29.74 inHg). [266] It then became nearly stationary again before turning east, with the NHC issuing their final advisory and giving future advisory responsibilities to the Weather Prediction Center (WPC). It regained Category 3 status in the Gulf of Mexico before weakening again and making its second landfall in Louisiana on October 9. The disturbance moved north and organized into a low-pressure area early on June 22. [347], Heavy rain in Jamaica caused a landslide that killed two people. [394] By 09:00 UTC the next day, Theta had weakened to a tropical depression,[395] and it degenerated to a remnant low six hours later. [144] Early on August 23, Laura made landfall near San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic, with 45 mph (75 km/h) winds. – Nine named storms rapidly intensified by at least 35 mph in 24 hours in 2020: Hanna, Laura, Sally, Teddy, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta and Iota. [271] Eight hours later, the depression developed into Tropical Storm Gamma, while located off the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.
