Tropical Weather Update: 1st wave of 2022 Hurricane Season
Currently, there are no tropical threats to the United States, but it's May and Hurricane Season 2022 will be here in less than a month. The official start of the season is June 1st, but that doesn't mean things can't form before that date. Since 2015, at least one storm has formed before the official start of the season.
Right now a few things have grabbed peoples attention in the Atlantic. An area of low pressure off the east coast is moving slowly to the west. It currently isn't expected to develop into much, but it will produce coastal flooding and rain along the east coast.
You might have also heard the first tropical wave of 2022 formed and moved off the continent of Africa early this week. It is not expected to develop as the Atlantic remains hostile with dry air and wind shear.
Tropical waves typically begin rolling off the continent of Africa in May, so it's not surprising to see to see our first one this time of year. These waves, which act as seeds for hurricanes in the heart of the season, become more frequent in July and can last through October.
On average, we see 50-60 tropical waves move into the Atlantic, but most don't develop into hurricanes. However, most major hurricanes come from tropical waves. That's why we track them closely, especially as we head into the heart of hurricane season.
The National Hurricane Center will begin tropical weather outlooks every six hours beginning May 15th.
