🌀NOAA’s official hurricane forecast
ORLANDO, Fla. – Anyone who has followed News 6 for information (and I hope you have) on the 2024 hurricane season knows there is the potential for a very active season.
What’s going on, guys?! Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges with you. Factors as to why the season could be so active can be found here.
Right now, we are focused on the official forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I was watching the forecast announcement with Candace Campos Thursday morning and we both looked at each other when NOAA Administrator Dr. Rick Spinrad said, “This season is looking to be an extraordinary one, in a number of ways based on our data and models.”
We obviously know the potential this season can bring, but it doesn’t make it any easier to hear the word extraordinary next to hurricane season. Anyway, you know the drill. That doesn’t mean we are going to get hit but with more storms, it obviously increases the odds. Here is more on NOAA’s most-active May forecast ever.
I don’t want to end on a bad note, but I also don’t want to sugarcoat anything. There are always limiting factors when it comes to a forecast. Here are some that could help us out. Remember, it only takes one.
Heat rages on! 🔥
Hey Insiders, it’s meteorologist Candace Campos. Now is the time to figure out your holiday plans and whether you’ll be poolside or beachside because the heat will be close to heat advisory status! Click here for your forecast for the “unofficial start to summer!”
With all this heat expected, its no surprise that rain will be hard to find over the next several days, which doesn’t help improve our drought concerns across the area. Hopefully, we can get the rainy season kicked in soon. Samara explains more on this below!
🧐 Are we there yet? When will we get more rain? 🌦️
It’s the time of year where the questions we hear most in the weather department are “when will my house get some rain” or “is it rainy season yet?”
Hey there, Insiders! It’s meteorologist Samara Cokinos here with you to shed some light on the rainy season. Unlike spring, summer, autumn and winter, the rainy season doesn’t have a definitive start date every year. It has layers, like an onion.

June’s planetary show 🪐
Did you miss the northern lights? No worries! At the beginning of June, there’s a cool celestial event visible to the naked eye.
Hi everyone, meteorologist Michelle Morgan here. You can see a parade of planets without any fancy equipment. With the naked eye, you can spot Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn. Those with binoculars or telescopes may also see Uranus near Mercury and Neptune close to Saturn.
