Is a hurricane coming to Milton? Latest forecast.

With more than seven weeks left in the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, there's a good chance that catastrophic Hurricane Milton won't be the last storm to hit the U.S. this year.

In fact, meteorologists continue to monitor several other systems across the Atlantic basin, including one east of Florida that could become Tropical Storm Nadine later Wednesday.

The storm parade comes against the backdrop of what is now officially described as an above-average hurricane season Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach.

Nadine would be short-lived and pose no threat to the landing

A developing system off Florida's east coast could briefly become Tropical Storm Nadine later Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said Wednesday morning. However, upper-elevation winds are forecast to become too strong for them to develop later tonight, the hurricane center said.

If it becomes Nadine, it would be the 14th named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. A typical season – which runs from June 1 to November 30 – has 14 storms.

Hurricane Leslie is spinning in the open Atlantic

Hurricane Leslie, the seventh hurricane of the season, continues to move far from land on Wednesday. It is forecast to circle the central Atlantic in the next few days.

“Maximum sustained winds are around 80 mph, with stronger gusts,” the hurricane center said. “Further strengthening is expected today and this evening, followed by weakening by early next week.”

Tropical wave off the coast of Africa

Meteorologists expect a tropical wave to move off the west coast of Africa in the Far Eastern Tropical Atlantic this evening or early Thursday.

“Environmental conditions appear to be marginally favorable for limited development of this system as it moves west or west-northwest across the eastern tropical Atlantic and through the Cape Verde Islands on Friday,” the hurricane center said.

Above-average hurricane season in the Atlantic

According to one measurement, the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was more active than usual:

“The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has now generated 127 ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy), officially meeting the NOAA definition of an above-average season,” Klotzbach said on X-Wednesday.

ACE is a metric that includes storm frequency, intensity and duration.
