Hurricane Season Begins! 2014 Storm Names & Season Outlooks / Website Changes

WEBSITE CHANGE NOTE: Hurricane/Tropical Storm coverage has been moved. It now has its own tab listed in the toolbar, and will remain the first tab during hurricane season. Once hurricane season has ended 'The Latest' (other articles) will be reverted back to the first tab. All other articles can still be found under 'The Latest' at any point during the year, or by using the pull down menu located on the right sidebar of this page. Thank you.
TROPICAL OUTLOOKS &


2014 STORM SEASON OUTLOOKS



SPECIAL NOAA NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER NOTE:

THE NHC WILL BE CHANGING THE LAYOUT OF THEIR STORM TRACKS THIS YEAR. THIS WILL
MAKE THE MAPS LOOK A WHOLE LOT MORE COMPLICATED AND WILL HIGHLIGHT EVEN SMALL
DEVELOPMENTS SO THAT 'FOLKS CAN STAY BETTER PREPARED'. BELOW IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT
THE NEW NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER'S MAPS WILL LOOK LIKE STARTING JULY OF THIS YEAR.



NEW NHC POTENTIAL STORM SURGE MAPS:


This will be a new section on the NHC's website (experimental, will be around for at least 2 years), it will be
updated just like the tracks are (every 6/12 hours, as needed) and will be found on NHC starting June 1st.
