Tropical Weather Forecast - November 30, 2022

Today marks the final day of the hurricane season for 2022. We wrap up the season with near average numbers of 14 named storms, 8 hurricanes and 2 major hurricanes. Fiona was the first major hurricane of the season that developed in the middle of September and eventually turned into a powerful post-tropical cyclone doing damage in Canada. Hurricane Ian was the most significant and damaging hurricane of the season, producing major damage in Florida making landfall as a Category 4 late September around Cayo Costa Island. Ian was the deadliest hurricane to strike the state of Florida since the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. We end the season on a quiet note with no tropical activity in the Atlantic, Gulf, Caribbean or Eastern Pacific.
