SAN ANTONIO — One more storm to wrap the Atlantic hurricane season? It’s possible. Hurricane season peaks early September and runs through November 30. A broad area of low pressure producing disorganized showers may develop into a tropical depression over the next few days.

This system has a medium chance of developing over the next two days and a cold front will nudge it north into the Atlantic later this week.

There have been 17 named storms so far this year.

Tropical systems are less and less likely as we approach late November, but it’s still possible for a system to develop late fall.

Hurricane Dorian shattered many records as it moved over the Bahamas late August into early September. For Abaco Island, Dorian was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Bahamas (by pressure). Dorian was also the first category 5 hurricane on record to make landfall on Grand Bahama Island.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above-normal hurricane season and the outlook was spot on to what occurred.
