This means we have a long way to go before we are safe from the potential impacts of another hurricane. Tonight, there are two active hurricanes in the Atlanta: Hurricane Lee, which has regained major hurricane status after faltering for a while and is now headed for Nova Scotia or somewhere in New England, and Hurricane Katia, which is a &#8220;fish&#8221; storm out in the Atlantic that is not expected to affect land. There are two additional areas that that National Hurricane Center is watching, including Investigation 98, that has a 70% chance of becoming a named storm (most likely Nigel) in the next week. It&#8217;s a long ways out from us in the Southeast, so we can watch it for ten days or more before there is any concern at all, and it may never be a threat to us. But there is still plenty of time for another storm to hit somewhere in the Southeast, so you need to continue to be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2023\/09\/tropical-outlook-9-11-2023-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2023\/09\/tropical-outlook-9-11-2023-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26335\" style=\"width:927px;height:642px\" width=\"927\" height=\"642\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, September 10, was the climatological midpoint of the Atlantic tropical season.
