Hurricane season isn't over. Experts predict a final surge of storms and maybe even a December cyclone.

• Hurricane play whitethorn extremity pinch a November surge of storms starting adjacent week, AccuWeather forecasts.
• Florida and nan Carolinas are astir astatine risk, moreover arsenic they retrieve from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
• Warm oversea temperatures and debased upwind shear could moreover bring a uncommon December cyclone.

Hurricane season seems to beryllium rallying for a last surge of storms.

AccuWeather, a world-leading upwind forecasting company, predicts that November will bring 1 to 3 tropical storms beardown capable to get names, and nan first 1 could travel successful conscionable a week.

Florida and nan Carolinas are nan astir at-risk states. Communities location are still reeling from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

"We are concerned that areas, nan full state of Florida moreover up into nan Carolinas, could beryllium astatine consequence of seeing different tropical effect this season," Alex DaSilva, a hurricane master astatine AccuWeather, said successful a statement. "And of course, those areas are already very, very susceptible from aggregate hits this season."

Meanwhile, nan AccuWeather forecast predicts very debased large wind consequence for nan occidental Gulf Coast — Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

Chance of a December cyclone

It's already been a nasty hurricane season, pinch storms truthful acold causing much than 300 deaths and astir $500 cardinal of losses successful nan US, according to AccuWeather.

Hurricane play ends connected November 30, but DaSilva said location whitethorn beryllium a uncommon December cyclone this year.

"It doesn't hap very often, but nan very warm oversea aboveground temperatures could make it imaginable this year," DaSilva said.

As greenhouse-gas emissions from quality activities thrust world temperatures higher, water temperatures are besides rising. Both lukewarm h2o and lukewarm aerial fuel stronger storms.

Another facet successful AccuWeather's forecast is debased wind shear, which is nan alteration successful upwind velocity and guidance complete a short distance. When it's low, nan upwind is less apt to disrupt large wind formation.

The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) does not forecast hurricanes much than 7 days out, a typical told Business Insider.

However, the NHC said successful August that this Atlantic hurricane play would likely produce 17 to 24 named storms total. So far, location person been 15 named storms.

A imaginable large wind is already brewing

AccuWeather reported "high risk" of a large wind forming successful nan first week of November, starting connected Friday.

The NHC is besides monitoring nan region, which it has assigned a 40% chance of forming a tropical slump successful nan adjacent 7 days.

"We're becoming much assured that nan adjacent named large wind successful nan Atlantic basin could shape wrong nan adjacent week," Bernie Rayno, AccuWeather's main on-air meteorologist, said successful a statement.

DaSilva said that rainfall and thunderstorms occurring successful nan confederate Caribbean are "early signs of development," and that a high-pressure area building to nan northbound of that could create nan correct conditions for a cyclone.

This could lead to a tropical large wind aliases moreover a hurricane successful nan first fewer days of November," DaSilva said.

According to DaSilva, if a large wind forms location it could move complete Cuba and into nan Atlantic, aliases it could caput for Florida.

Only 3 hurricanes person made landfall successful nan US successful November since 1900. The astir caller was Hurricane Nicole, which struck Florida arsenic a Category 1 large wind successful November 2022 and worsened harm from Hurricane Ian.
