Northern Lights down south šŸŒƒ

Hey guys, itā€™s meteorologist and host of ā€˜Weather Wiseā€™ Jonathan Kegges here, looking back at one of the coolest storms Central Florida has seen in a long time! Iā€™m not talking rain and storms, but a ā€œgeomagnetic stormā€ that occurred last weekend.

This disturbance to Earthā€™s magnetic field produced an aurora borealis, aka the northern lights as far south as Central Florida! Tap here to read more on the science behind this phenomenon!

šŸŒ€Hurricane season is on the horizonšŸŒ€

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) began issuing their tropical outlooks early this year. Youā€™re probably thinking, ā€œWhy are they doing this when June 1, the official start of hurricane season, is about two weeks away?ā€ Hi there, meteorologist Michelle Morgan here talking about those preseason tropical outlooks.

Well, in the past years, weā€™ve had disturbances become named storms before the season began, so because of that, the NHC now issues outlooks earlier, beginning in mid-May, due to the possibility of early storm activity.

With the early outlooks, itā€™s a good reminder that hurricane season is on the horizon and being prepared is always key.

In addition to Wednesdayā€™s, May 15, outlook, there was an earlier one issued on April 24, when a brief tropical disturbance appeared about 900 miles northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. However, it had a very low chance of developing into a significant storm and quickly dissipated.
