What's Happening?
August marks a pivotal point in the hurricane season, with forecasters predicting an increase in tropical activity. Historical trends show that this month often sees a rise in storm development, and current conditions suggest a similar pattern. The beginning of August has brought a new weather system off the East Coast, though the immediate danger appears low. Last year's hurricane season, including the devastating Hurricane Helene, serves as a reminder of the potential for rapid intensification and disaster.
