Atlantic Hurricane Season Ends, But Danger Lurks Beyond November 30

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has marked the end of the official Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30.

Despite the end of the official hurricane season, AccuWeather forecasters are warning that the remnants of former Tropical Storm Sara may still bring heavy rain to parts of the United States this week. Sara, which is now classified as a tropical rainstorm, is expected to draw moisture from the Gulf Coast northward, increasing rain chances through Tuesday night.

Landfall in Florida is forecasted to occur on Wednesday morning... also as a tropical rainstorm. The combination of a cold front moving across the eastern United States and the remaining moisture from Tropical Storm Sara is expected to bring wind and rain to the state of Florida this week. It is essential for residents to stay informed and prepared for potential weather events, even outside of the official hurricane season.

In recent years, there have been instances where hurricanes have made landfall in November. According to records, "some strong hurricanes have struck Florida in November.".. typically associated with warm ocean temperatures that can increase the likelihood of hurricane formation. The NHC continues to monitor weather conditions and will issue advisories if necessary, "even outside of the official hurricane season."
