ORLANDO, Fla. – The peak of hurricane season is upon us and currently, there are two systems in the tropics.
The first, Hurricane Larry, is poised to strengthen into a category 4 storm in the open waters of the Atlantic Saturday evening or Sunday.
As of 5 p.m., Larry has maximum sustained winds of 125 mph and is moving west-northwest at 14 mph. This motion is expected to continue the next few days before a turn to the northwest, which is forecast by early next week.
Puerto Rico may experience large swells and dangerous rip currents, but the storm should not directly impact the island. Interests in Bermuda and the Canadian Maritimes should continue to monitor the storm as it turns north in the Atlantic. Large swells will make their way to much of the east coast of the U.S., even though the storm will stay well offshore.
Larry is expected to produce dangerous surf and rip currents along western Atlantic shores next week, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The second disturbance is currently over land in Central America but is expected to emerge into the Bay of Campeche/Gulf of Mexico Sunday. The disturbance will then travel through the Gulf of Mexico through the middle of next week. Unfavorable upper-level winds are expected to limit development through Monday, but environmental conditions could become marginally favorable for some gradual development on Tuesday or Wednesday. Areas along the north and west Gulf coast should monitor the progress of this system.
So far the 2021 season has been more intense than the 2020 season, even with fewer named storms.
The next three named storms will be called Mindy, Nicholas and Odette.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs through Nov. 30, with Sept. 10 marking the peak of storm season.
