European model (ECMWF) going very active as well for this hurricane season.
ECMWF calls for an extremely busy Atlantic #hurricane season with ~23 named storms, ~13 hurricanes and Accumulated Cyclone Energy 200% of normal (~250 total ACE) between June-November. Ensemble average calls for #LaNina and very warm Atlantic for Aug-Oct (peak of Atlantic season)
Hurricane season doesn't officially start until June 1, but today is Day 1 of National Hurricane Preparedness Week. Here are today's tips on how to get ready ahead of hurricane season: winknews.com/2024/05/05/nat… #flwx @winknews

RAINFALL TOTALS! 🌧️ Slice of rainy season Saturday in Southwest Florida with pockets of 1 - 2" of rain, especially in Fort Myers. Another round of hit-or-miss scattered storms Sunday! @winknews
WINK LIVE DOPPLER 3X ⛈️ Storms continue to expand both into Cape Coral and Charlotte County as of 7 PM. Heavy rain, lightning and gusty wind all possible. Stick with @winknews for the latest.
Highest wind speed (300+ mph) ever recorded on earth to this day. EF-5 monster.
OTD 25 years ago: DOW-3 (data pictured) samples the infamous Bridge Creek-Moore tornado with peak winds handily exceeding 300mph - a record ostensibly held to this day with only a handful of contenders coming close #okwx
SAHARAN DUST: It's approaching that time of the year. Next week I'll be watching a plume of Saharan Dust heading into the Caribbean. Typically the main months for dust above Florida are June, July and early August. I'll keep you posted! @winknews
