Earth Networks to Release 2017 Tropical Storm Outlook
- May 04, 2017
GERMANTOWN, Md.—Earth Networks will release its 2017 Tropical Storm Outlook on May 11, 2017. The forecast will be presented in a live webinar at 2:00 p.m. ET by Julie Gaddy, CCM and Senior Meteorologist for Earth Networks.
After an above average season in 2016 that brought deadly Hurricane Matthew, the southernmost Category 5 Atlantic Hurricane on record, as well as 6 other hurricanes, and 15 tropical storms, the Meteorology Team at Earth Networks is ready to unveil its forecast for the 2017 season in a free webinar. The season runs from June 1 to November 30 and includes the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Join the interactive Earth Networks Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast webinar to find out:
- Tropical Storm Outlook: The season was off to an early start with the first named storm, Arlene, to form in April since 2003. Could this mean a more active tropical season for 2017?
- Hurricane Forecast: Partly due to a weak La Niña forming, 2016 was a more active hurricane season with 4 major hurricanes and a total of 15 named storms. How many major hurricanes will form in 2017?
- S. Landfall Threat: With the forecast return of an El Niño pattern, tropical storm formation is anticipated to be suppressed. Will this result in fewer landfalls?
