In today’s update: I take a look at the first 7 days of the season so far and some really interesting data from our friend Ben Noll.
Plus – think you know what a hurricane is? Hopefully you know it’s not a dot on a map!
And finally, a look at our new Hail Project as I get set to head back out to the Plains this weekend.

People who say that this season wont amount to anything after 7 days are either purposely trolling or they are idiots who do not want to understand how this all works
The cards say 60 named storms this year
Case in point: I'm in Miami and Irma made its landfalls nowhere near us – we got blasted anyway.
Very quiet start so far to what’s supposed to be a hyperactive hurricane season! But it is a fools gambit to write off the season quite yet. All it takes is one bad hurricane to make a year a bad year. Cough Hurricane Andrew cough.
2004 busted my hurricane 🍒 cherry 🍒 here in Florida!
Charley didn't make landfall until August 13th, 3rd named storm!
I hope you bring a freezer and a generator with you so you can preserve that nice basketball size hailstone you find out there in the great plains
We’re only seven days into the hurricane season. Anyone who’s trying to cancel the season this early just because we didn’t go gangbusters right on June 1st isn’t to be taken seriously about anything whatsoever.
Mother Nature has never gone by our calendars. She'll do what she wants to when she wants to. We just have to deal with her decisions, as well as her timing for things.
This quiet start to the 2024 Atlantic and East Pacific hurricane season can mainly be blamed due to the Mexican/Central American heat dome spilling dry air and smoke from wildfires all around the basins as well as blocking fronts or disturbances from reaching the favored areas for this time of year in the Atlantic basin taking full advantage from the record warm waters. Part of it as we know is the generally higher than average wind shear. Enjoy while it lasts because things will change in a hurry.
Not a bad meme mark. What do you think about holding a little weather/hurricane meme competition each month or season?
This lesson shows what a real hurricane does in terms of storm surge and rainfall which are the two biggest impacts that lead to death in tropical cyclones. Excellent and perfect job here Mark!!!
Michael was a blip ……right up until
Just think, if there are no hurricanes, there will be no way to rid the Southern Atlantic Ocean of heat. The ocean will get hotter and give us a Godzilla huricane.😮
I saw the house next to the house you put your camera's on in Rodanthe fell completely into the ocean.
Hurricane Ian popped my 🍒 here in Florida!!! Thanks for your daily updates Mark!! You’ve taught me a ton!!!!
Thx Mark
Fox Weather says, Florida Bracing for Tropical Downpours.
Well, lots of tree debris damage still everywhere in Tallahassee, FL, so if we get any Tropical downpours or winds…I expect more damaged trees coming down and power outages all over.
That's a great meme. We got tornados and flooding in Fort Lauderdale, was not expecting it!
Friendly reminder to everyone that 2005 wouldn't have started yet (if we were in it again because the first storm was on June 8th) and only had 2 named storms in June and that season was awful.
Tracking map of a hurricane big difference compared to the real thing
Yup Ian made landfall almost 100 miles to our south and we STILL experienced Hurricane wind gusts here in southern Pinellas County.
Everyday without a storm is a win 👍🏼
Totally agree a season can completely turn around overnight just when you thought nothing will change. Let's hope it stays calm.
Case in point; if you exclude Arlene (which was a bit of an oddity anyway) one could say that 2017 started in earnest in late June and we all remember how quickly downhill that year went. There's a long way to go yet.
Mark, this is not hurricane related but there is a very interesting video of the tsunami in Japan in 2011 and it mimics very well the damage that storm surge can cause in the form of transporting debris, enough to make you not want to be in the water during such an event. https://youtu.be/MEBFTiPhlN8
Re study of hail, one thing you could look into is windshields and angles of deflection, the car / vehicle industry seemingly has never bothered to advise their customers on such matters despite selling their cars in places with hail like golf balls on the regular.
