2024 Hurricane Forecast from Colorado State University - 4 April 2024
Current El Nino conditions are likely to transition to La Nina conditions this summer/fall, leading to hurricane-favorable wind shear conditions. Sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central Atlantic are currently at record warm levels and are anticipated to remain well above average for the upcoming hurricane season. A warmer-than-normal tropical Atlantic provides a more conducive dynamic and thermodynamic environment for hurricane formation and intensification. This forecast is of above-normal confidence for an early April outlook. We anticipate a well above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean.
2024 Hurricane Forecast from The Weather Channel - 17 April 2024
In a complete flip compared to last season, a stronger high-pressure system is expected to set up shop near Bermuda and the Azores, which should deflect more storms westward toward the Caribbean and the United States. This combination of more storms and this pattern will lead to more storms nearing coastlines.
2024 Hurricane Forecast from TSR EuroTempest Ltd - 8 April 2024
There is high confidence that the 2024 Atlantic hurricane activity season will be very active. There is high confidence that sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic will be much warmer than average which is an enhancing effect for hurricane activity. Sea surface temperatures across much of the Atlantic Ocean have been well above average for several months and there is currently no indication these sea surface temperature anomalies will cool significantly, if at all, over the Spring.
