Colorado State University predicts busier than average hurricane season

3 weeks ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

Colorado State just released its 42nd annual Hurricane Season Outlook. It calls for an exceptionally active 2025 season with 17 named storms and nine possible hurricanes. Four of those hurricanes are likely to be designated as "major" storms with winds of 111 mph or higher. The weak chance of an El Niño developing is one factor. El Niño disrupts storms. Meanwhile, ocean temperatures in the Atlantic and Caribbean basins continue to skew well above average.

GOOD MORNING. IT’S ALREADY PRETTY BREEZY OUT THERE TODAY. AND I THINK ONE OF THE TAKEAWAYS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS IS THE FACT THAT WE’LL SEE SOME GUSTY WINDS UP TO 20 TO 25 MILES AN HOUR FROM TIME TO TIME EACH DAY. AND SO TODAY, ALREADY AN EAST SOUTHEAST WINDS SUSTAINED AT ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR IN THE PALM BEACH AREA. AND THAT’S MORE THAN USUAL. SO BY TOMORROW, UP TO A 22 MILE AN HOUR GUST, 2322. SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY, ABOUT 24 MILE AN HOUR GUSTS.

WARNING METEOROLOGIST SANDRA SHAW SANDRA. THOSE STORMS WERE INTENSE LAST NIGHT. THAT’S RIGHT. WE CALLED IT YESTERDAY MORNING, AND THE TIMING REALLY WORKED OUT AS WE HAD THOUGHT AS WELL. SO THE MODELS WERE ON TARGET. HERE’S A LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE THIS MORNING. NONE OF THAT. WE’RE THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND WE WILL JUST SEE THE HEAT REALLY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME PATCHY, DENSE FOG REALLY. IT’S WORST RIGHT NOW WITH THE YELLOW, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SOUTHWEST COAST OF FLORIDA.

SANDRA. ALL RIGHT. THANKS A LOT, AARON. FOR US, WE DID GET SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN YESTERDAY. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RESIDUAL FOG THIS MORNING. I MEAN IT’S REALLY, REALLY HUMID OUT THERE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT SHOWING MORE WITH THE YELLOW TO THE WEST. BUT WE ARE SEEING SOME RPORTS HERE BETWEEN FORT PIERCE AND OKEECHOBEE AND ALONG THE BEE LINE HIGHWAY. SO A HEADS UP ON THAT. MEANWHILE, STORMS OFFSHORE. NOTHING ON THE GROUND.
Risk of dune fires escalates across South Florida

1 month ago | wpbf.com | Sandra Shaw

The dry season wildfire risk includes area beaches, especially the vulnerable dune areas. Benji Studt, with Palm Beach County Environmental Resources, says that the sea oats that stabilize the dunes are highly flammable."If a spark starts a fire in these sea oats which really want to burn, then that could carry the fire right up to these buildings or condos."Studt says one recent problem is that people have been hanging out in the dunes and setting campfires.
