For NPR News, I'm Vicki Barker in London.
Windsor JohnstonHOST
The Atlantic hurricane season has reached its typical peak without producing a single hurricane.
Windsor JohnstonHOST
Five named storms have formed, but none has reached the seventy-four mile per hour hurricane threshold.
Windsor JohnstonHOST
This is now the latest arrival of the season's first hurricane in the satellite era.
Kevin PoeHOST
Now, for those who didn't get a chance to read your article, first off, share why you decided to write this particular piece and then tell us about the article itself for those of you who get a chance to read it.
Angela JohnsonGUEST
So part of living in South Louisiana, along with a lot of our other coastal communities in the Southeastern U.S., hurricane season, there is a hurricane season and we name it as such.
Angela JohnsonGUEST
And it is as much a part of seasonal activity as anything else, if not more so of our traditional seasons.
Angela JohnsonGUEST
And so every June or so, which is when I wrote the article, every June is the constant reminder in our personal lives to be prepared and be thinking about how we will address the needs for impacts from weather, potentially evacuations from our homes, and things like that.
Sam WalkerHOST
It is the season peak.
Sam WalkerHOST
of the hurricane the season peak the peak of the hurricane season and it's still sleeping we'll talk about that we'll talk about a rather momentous record we are about to break it looks like uh for all intents and purposes it's gonna happen even though the gfs wanted to throw some curveball for next week i don't know you guys can talk more about that in a little bit And of course, we're coming up on Friday being September 11th and the 25th anniversary.
Sam WalkerHOST
And we actually have a special presentation I'll be coming up for you later this week, all about 9-11 and memories that we'll share some of our professional memories from that here.
Sam WalkerHOST
on the Carolina Weather Group.
Sam WalkerHOST
Let's get started, guys, with where we are right now in the 2026 hurricane season.
Sam WalkerHOST
And I guess the guessing, the predictions, all that are doing exactly as we expected, aren't they?
Frank StraitPANELIST
Right.
25 MINS LATER
Frank StraitPANELIST
Yeah, it's kind of like the second weekend after Labor Day weekend is when things start getting nice at the Carolina coast and there's really not all that many people and the weather's still good unless there's a hurricane coming.
John GordonGUEST
Yeah, the
KruserHOST
Pacific hurricane season's been a different story from the Atlantic hurricane season.
KruserHOST
It's been very quiet.
KruserHOST
The southeastern United States has seen some tropical activity, some storms, but there's no hurricane that's been formed yet.
Bill MeckGUEST
of that one.
Bill MeckGUEST
Yeah, well, it's because it lasted all of 12 hours in the middle of the North Atlantic.
KruserHOST
If we get past this Friday without a hurricane, this hurricane season would set a new record for the latest date.
Bill MeckGUEST
That's right.
Jordan UpcavageHOST
No fear.
Jordan UpcavageHOST
Hurricane season's over.
Jordan UpcavageHOST
Sweet.
Jordan UpcavageHOST
So through the winter of 2024 to 2026, bro, we're like scraping at the barrel for our phone to ring because there's no consumer demand because there's no rain and all the work was already done.
Maynard HoltHOST
I don't know how we can help you, Dr. Corbyn.
Maynard HoltHOST
Hurricane season.
Maynard HoltHOST
Well, you know, this is going to come out on the 9th.
Maynard HoltHOST
I noticed the climatological peak of hurricane season is September 10th.
Maynard HoltHOST
So we're only one day short.
Maynard HoltHOST
I don't really know what that means, but that's what ChatGPT...
Judah CohenGUEST
I'm not a hurricane expert.
Judah CohenGUEST
So, I mean, I think the peak is like August 20th to like the end of September or something.
Kelsey GravesGUEST
Wow.
Kelsey GravesGUEST
Hurricane season.
JennHOST
Yes.
Kelsey GravesGUEST
But it worked with our timeframe.
7 MINS LATER
JennHOST
Do not take a cruise vacation in the fall.
JennHOST
Three reasons.
JennHOST
One, you got hurricane season.
JennHOST
Two, as you experienced, fall, cold, and flu season.
Steve McGuireHOST
Excellent episode today as we look at the first full week of September, but first it's quiz time.
Steve McGuireHOST
On what date does the Atlantic hurricane season activity historically reach its peak? I read that kind of awkwardly.
Steve McGuireHOST
Let's try that again.
Steve McGuireHOST
So the question is this.
Steve McGuireHOST
On what date does the Atlantic hurricane season peak in its activity? About what date? and time of the year.
Steve McGuireHOST
So hint, it's sometime in September.
Steve McGuireHOST
I'll give you that.
Steve McGuireHOST
That is your week ahead for the first full week of September.
Jamila MisikHOST
But today's extreme weather seems to have been a carryover from the weekend.
Jamila MisikHOST
We are in the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, but these are now clearly very different weather occurrences.
Jamila MisikHOST
To help us understand the conditions producing all this weather, here's meteorologist Greg Thompson.
Jamila MisikHOST
Now Greg, today's weather had so many storm-like characteristics.
28 MINS LATER
Natalia Hall-ThomasHOST
Boaters were urged to seek safe harbor while residents were advised to stay indoors away from windows, trees and water as the weather moves through.
Natalia Hall-ThomasHOST
Well, today's tragedies linked to lots of bad weather this morning.
Natalia Hall-ThomasHOST
And while we are at the height or the peak of the hurricane season, it all seems a bit unusual given that there are no storms traveling or threatening us here in the Bahamas.
Natalia Hall-ThomasHOST
And to help us understand what's happening and what could have led to the deadly lightning strikes today is meteorologist Greg Thompson, who now joins us from the Weather Center.
Karen TownsendGUEST
So it's showing you that in this big, red blob of an area, there was a very high chance of formation within the next really two days, if not the longer period.
Karen TownsendGUEST
So this is now a seven-day product, and it's very highly recommended that you always check this daily during hurricane season.
Karen TownsendGUEST
Okay, so once a system begins to be tracked with numbered advisories, that's when the heart of HERVAC, you know, HERVAC is short for Hurricane and Evacuation, begins to pull together, you know, the combination of the hurricane evacuation study data with the storm surge data with the track, the potential track that the storm is going to take.
Karen TownsendGUEST
And so at this point the local emergency manager is using HERVAC to evaluate the potential storm surge threats in which coastal zones, which are pre-delineated through the hurricane evacuation study process, might need to evacuate.
