Miami. The National Hurricane Center just kicked off its daily tropical monitoring, and we're still two and a half weeks from the official start of hurricane season.
Here's the good news first. Right now, there are zero disturbances in the Atlantic showing any development potential over the next seven days.
So why did the NHC move up its schedule at all? Because May activity has been showing up more often in recent years, and the NHC is being proactive.
Here's something that matters for Miami specifically. Tropical waves are those clusters of clouds and weather that roll off the African coast and drift westward across the Atlantic.
While the Atlantic is quiet, the Eastern Pacific hurricane season officially opened on May fifteenth, and early signals point toward above-normal activity out there. El Niño is a factor, and it tends to cut in opposite directions depending on which ocean you're watching.
You've got about two and a half weeks before June first. That's a genuine preparation window, and it's worth using.
