AccuWeather Predicts Active Atlantic Hurricane Season

AccuWeather forecasts a surge in tropical activity for September, predicting between six to ten named storms during the month due to favorable conditions such as near-record sea surface temperatures, reduced wind shear, and diminished Saharan dust. Lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva warns that a 'parade of storms' could occur, reminiscent of the hyperactive 2020 hurricane season, with multiple storms potentially developing on the same day. As the statistical peak of the hurricane season approaches on September 10, concerns extend beyond coastal regions, as recent hurricanes have shown inland areas can experience severe flooding and tornadoes from storms far removed from the coast. The forecasted increase in activity not only suggests a busy September but could also lead to continued tropical threats into October and November. With saturated ground conditions in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast due to previous storms, the risk of flash flooding remains high. Overall, this September is shaping up to be significantly more active than previous months of the season.
