The forecast intensity has increased now indicating 20 tropical storms, 10 hurricanes and 4 intense hurricanes. The season is projected as the busiest since 2010 and 2012. The accumulated cyclone energy index is raised to 149. Several hurricanes are forecast to affect the Gulf of Mexico, at least one making landfall in the Carolinas and several developing near the Bahamas but staying offshore.

Explaining Recent Tendency for Stalled U.S. Coastal Tropical Cyclones

Important to seasonal prediction of North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity is the evolution in recent years of the North Atlantic Warm Hole and the attendant upper air pattern. During the tropical cyclone season a persistent upper level trough has formed in the cooler atmosphere across the NAWH compensated for by a persistent upper ridge over Quebec (and vicinity). When the upper ridge is present as tropical cyclones go inland the U.S. coastline storms slow down and produce excessive rainfall similar to Harvey (2017), Florence (2018) and Imelda (2019). A similar dynamic is expected for AUG/SEP 2020.

Why La Nina Could Be Stronger

Global SSTA models are forecasting a major contrast between ocean surface temperatures across the eastern equatorial Pacific (cool) versus the far western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans (warmer). The contrasting ocean temperatures lead to stronger trade winds across the eastern Pacific tropics possibly increasing La Nina strength and duration.

NOAA 2020 North Atlantic Hurricane Outlook

NOAA/NHC issues their 2020 North Atlantic basin tropical cyclone activity forecast. The outlook indicates above normal activity similar to forecasts issued in early April by other leading (market) providers. The seasonal forecast indicates 13-19 tropical storms, 6-10 hurricanes and 3-6 major hurricanes.

Warmer Than Normal Ocean Surface Lead To Frequent and More Powerful Tropical Cyclones This Season

Already three tropical cyclones have formed in the northern hemisphere before the official June 1 start to the tropical cyclone season. Warmer-than-normal ocean water played a key role in leading to the formation of Arthur east of Florida, rapid intensification of Vongfong to a category 3 tropical cyclone before striking the Philippines and emergence of a category 5 tropical cyclone (Amphan) in the Bay of Bengal.

Climate Impact Company Chart of the Day

T.S. Cristobal Heading for Louisiana Sunday Night.
06/03/2020, 9:04 am EDT
As Cristobal returns to the Gulf of Mexico Friday the key to northern Gulf intensity will be how quickly this storm gathers organization near and just northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula. Forecast models are in good agreement on a Sunday night landfall on the central Louisiana coast as a tropical storm. A minimal hurricane is still possible.

Indian Ocean Dipole (-IOD) AND La Nina Increases Risk of Stronger La Nina Climate AND La Nina Lingering Into Next Year
05/25/2020, 10:15 am EDT
Evolution of La Nina during negative phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole suggest that the attendant convection patterns associated with this regime will be stronger and have a more dramatic impact on global La Nina climate. Both strength of La Nina climate anomalies could be stronger and La Nina could linger in 2021.
