We are now past the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, which occurs around September 10. But since the season lasts until the end of November, we are definitely not out of the woods yet. This has been an odd season, with no tropical storms in the Gulf at all (at least so far), and the numbers of storms below what was predicted at the beginning of summer. You might wonder how the hurricane season normally changes as we move into October and the waves of the deep summer storms are no longer coming off of Africa. Weather Underground has a useful description of how the location where storms develop changes over time and where we can expect to see late-season storms form. Since we have not had any Gulf storms this year, the water there is quite warm and if anything does develop, it could cause problems for somewhere along the Gulf Coast.
