🌀A January Storm? 2023 Hurricane Season Has Already Begun
Well what do you know? The first storm of the 2023 hurricane season has actually already developed. Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges with you.
We actually talked about this entity while it was off the coast of New England in January, but today, during routine post-analysis, the National Hurricane Center declared that that storm actually had some tropical characteristics. Now it will remain unnamed since it wasn’t named in January, but it will go down as the first storm of the 2023 hurricane season. Things get a little weird, though. Click here to find out what the next named storm will be called.
As far as the actual season, we have an interesting battle on our hands between the main driving forces. El Nino? You may have heard of him.
El Nino is typically a good thing for the Atlantic hurricane season, but it’s not everything. While it may reduce the number of storms, there can still be major storms in an El Nino year. Michael and Andrew both happened in an El Nino year. Anyway, a very interesting battle is shaping up for the Atlantic hurricane season and it will be something to watch.

🌂Breaking down the POPs in the forecast ☔
The forecast calls for rain, but it doesn’t rain at my house. Why are those meteorologists always wrong? 👀 Hey there Insider friends! It’s meteorologist Samara Cokinos here with you to talk about forecasting rain because I have heard that comment about my job more times than I care to count.
