Hurricane Season Shock: What's REALLY Lurking in the Shadows Despite Zero Landfalls?

As the hurricane season continues to unfold, concerns have been growing about the chances of another hurricane making landfall. But what if we told you that an active season is still very much on the cards, even without another devastating hurricane touching down on American soil?

Today on Tracking the Tropics, WNCN Chief Meteorologist Wes Hohenstein joined forces with our team to shed light on the intricacies of the hurricane season and explore the very real possibility of an active season despite a lack of landfalls.

"An active season is not just about making landfalls," Hohenstein explained. "It's about the number of storms that form, it's about the severity of those storms, and it's about the areas they affect. Just because we haven't seen a landfall doesn't mean we're not experiencing an active season."

So what exactly determines the level of activity in a hurricane season? According to Hohenstein, it all comes down to a combination of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. "When we have warmer ocean temperatures, a more unstable atmosphere, and favorable wind patterns, it sets the stage for an active season," he said.

But even if another hurricane doesn't make landfall, the effects can still be felt across the country. "We can still see significant impacts from storms that don't make landfall," Hohenstein emphasized. "Storms can bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and rough seas, all of which can cause major disruptions and damage."

As we head into the final stretch of the hurricane season, it's essential to stay vigilant and stay informed. While the chances of another landfall might seem slim, the threat of an active season is still very real. By understanding the complexities of hurricane season and staying up-to-date with the latest forecast, we can better prepare ourselves for whatever comes next.
