2024 Atlantic hurricane season#Tropical Storm Gordon

In advance of, and during, each hurricane season, several forecasts of hurricane activity are issued by national meteorological services, scientific agencies, and noted hurricane experts. These include forecasters from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Climate Prediction Center, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR), the United Kingdom's Met Office (UKMO), and Colorado State University (CSU). The forecasts include weekly and monthly changes in significant factors that help determine the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a particular year.{{cite journal |last1=Klotzbach |first1=Philip |last2=Blake |first2=Eric |last3=Camp |first3=Joanne |last4=Caron |first4=Louis-Philippe |last5=Chan |first5=Johnny C.L. |last6=Kang |first6=Nam-Young |last7=Kuleshov |first7=Yuri |last8=Lee |first8=Sai-Ming |last9=Murakami |first9=Hiroyuki |last10=Saunders |first10=Mark |last11=Takaya |first11=Yuhei |last12=Vitart |first12=Frederic |last13=Zhan |first13=Ruifen |title=Seasonal Tropical Cyclone Forecasting |journal=Tropical Cyclone Research and Review |date=September 2019 |volume=8 |issue=3 |pages=134–149 |doi=10.1016/j.tcrr.2019.10.003 |doi-access=free|bibcode=2019TCRR....8..134K }}

According to NOAA and CSU, the average Atlantic hurricane season between 1991 and 2020 contained roughly 14 tropical storms, 7 hurricanes, 3 major hurricanes, and an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index of 72–111 units.{{cite web |last1=Masters |first1=Jeff |title=Forecasters predict an extremely active 2024 Atlantic hurricane season |url=https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/04/forecasters-predict-an-extremely-active-2024-atlantic-hurricane-season/ |publisher=Yale Climate Connections |access-date=June 1, 2024 |date=April 4, 2024 |archive-date=June 1, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240601163314/https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/04/forecasters-predict-an-extremely-active-2024-atlantic-hurricane-season/ |url-status=live }} Broadly speaking, ACE is a measure of the power of a tropical or subtropical storm multiplied by the length of time it existed. It is only calculated for full advisories on specific tropical and subtropical systems reaching or exceeding wind speeds of {{cvt|39|mph}}. NOAA typically categorizes a season as above-average, average, or below-average based on the cumulative ACE index, but the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a hurricane season is sometimes also considered.

On December 11, 2023, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) released its extended range forecast for the 2024 season, predicting an above-average season with 20 named storms, nine hurricanes and four major hurricanes.{{#tag:ref|Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher—1-minute sustained winds higher than {{convert|96|kn|mph km/h|order=out}}—on the Saffir–Simpson scale are described as major hurricanes.{{cite web|title=Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=November 29, 2023|archive-date=June 20, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200620093804/https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php|url-status=live}}|group="nb"}} They took into account ongoing warm sea-surface temperatures (SST) throughout most of the basin, specifically in the Main Development Region and in the Caribbean Sea on top of the 2023–2024 El Niño event which was predicted to weaken to a neutral phase by August 2024. TSR updated their forecast on May 30, predicting 24 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes with an ACE of 226 units. On April 4, 2024, Colorado State University (CSU) released its forecast, calling for an extremely active hurricane season, with 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes and five major hurricanes, with an ACE index of 210 units, citing the extremely warm Atlantic sea surface temperatures and the development of a La Niña by the summer. On April 5, Météo-France (MFM) issued a prediction of 21 named storms and 11 hurricanes. They cited warm sea surface temperatures, wind patterns, and humidity. On April 8, TSR updated their prediction, predicting 23 tropical storms, 11 hurricanes, and five major hurricanes, with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index of 217 units. They predicted that moderate La Niña conditions would occur in the summer and persist into fall and above average sea surface temperatures would also persist into summer. On the same day, the University of Arizona (UA) posted their forecast calling for a very active season featuring 21 named storms, 11 hurricanes, 5 major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 156 units. On April 12, University of Missouri (MU) issued their prediction of 26 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and five major hurricanes. On April 16, NCSU issued their prediction of 15–20 named storms, 10–12 hurricanes, and 3–4 major hurricanes. On April 24, the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) issued their prediction of a record-breaking season, predicting an unprecedented 33 (±6) named storms. They cited expected moderate La Niña conditions and record-warm sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic tied to large-scale warming. On May 6, the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) issued their forecast of 20–23 tropical storms, 9–11 hurricanes, and 4–5 major hurricanes. On May 22, UKMO published their forecast for the 2024 season, calling for 22 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 212 units. One day later, NOAA published their hurricane season prediction, forecasting an above-average season of 17–25 named storms, 8–13 hurricanes, and 4–7 major hurricanes with an 85% chance of being an above-average season. TSR updated their predictions on May 30 with 24 tropical storms, 12 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes with an ACE of 226.

On June 11, CSU also updated its predictions, continuing to expect an extremely active season, with 23 tropical storms, 11 hurricanes, five major hurricanes, and an ACE of 210. On June 23, UA updated its prediction with 23 named storms, 10 hurricanes, five major hurricanes, and an ACE of 231. TSR updated its predictions on July 5 with 26 tropical storms, 13 hurricanes, and six major hurricanes with an ACE of 240. On July 9, CSU updated its predictions, anticipating an even more active season, with 25 tropical storms, 12 hurricanes, six major hurricanes, and an ACE of 230. On August 8, NOAA updated its prediction of the total number of named storms slightly, while still anticipating a highly active season.

Officially, the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1, and ended on November 30.{{cite web |title=Frequently Asked Questions |date=June 1, 2023 |url=https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd-faq/#hurricane-season |access-date=June 20, 2024 |publisher=Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory |location=Miami, Florida }} In all, eighteen tropical cyclones formed, and all of them became named storms. Eleven storms became hurricanes, of which five strengthened into major hurricanes.{{cite web|title=Tropical Storm Sara forms in the Western Caribbean, threatens Honduras|last1=Henson|first1=Bob|last2=Masters|first2=Jeff|date=November 14, 2024|url=https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/11/tropical-storm-sara-forms-in-the-western-caribbean-threatens-honduras/|publisher=Yale Climate Connection|location=New Haven, Connecticut|access-date=November 19, 2024}} Additionally, one potential tropical cyclone that was designated did not develop into a tropical cyclone. Altogether, there were 12 landfalling systems this season.

This season's ACE index, as calculated by the Colorado State University (CSU) using data from the NHC was approximately 161.6 units.{{cite web| title=Real-Time Tropical Cyclone North Atlantic Ocean Statistics|url=http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/|publisher=Colorado State University|location=Fort Collins, Colorado|access-date=September 29, 2024}} This number represents sum of the squares of the maximum sustained wind speed (knots) for all named storms while they are at least tropical storm intensity, divided by 10,000. Therefore, tropical depressions are not included.

Activity resumed at the start of August, with Hurricane Debby developing in the Gulf of Mexico on August 3, before making landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane two days later. It then slowed down over land afterwards and dropped heavy rain and caused widespread flooding in the Southeastern United States. A few days after Debby dissipated, Hurricane Ernesto formed on August 12 in the Western Main Development Region. Ernesto caused damage to the Lesser Antilles on August 14 as a Category 1 hurricane. Two days later on August 16, it peaked as a Category 2 hurricane. The next day it made landfall at Bermuda as a weakening Category 1 storm.

{{List of costliest Atlantic hurricane seasons}}

Despite the unseasonably warm temperatures in the North Atlantic, the equatorial Atlantic cooled rapidly into an "Atlantic Niña" due to upwelling caused by shifts in the trade winds and the Atlantic zonal mode. The effects of an Atlantic Niña is not certain but it is contrary to the assumptions that the NOAA used in their forecast of seasonal activity.{{Cite web |last=Tuchen |first=Franz Philip |date=2024-08-14 |title=Atlantic Niña on the verge of developing.

{{main|Tropical Storm Alberto (2024)}}

A Central American gyre resulted in the formation of convection over the Gulf of Tehuantepec on June 15. As the convective activity progressed northward over southeastern Mexico and exited into the Bay of Campeche, an area of low pressure gradually developed on June 17 about {{convert|105|mi|km}} northwest of Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico. The system gradually became better organized, though still remained rather broad, developing into Tropical Storm Alberto by 12:00 UTC on June 19. Under the influence of light vertical wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures, Alberto intensified up to landfall, attaining peak winds of {{cvt|45|kn|mph km/h|round=5|order=out}} and a minimum central pressure of {{cvt|992|mbar|inHg|sigfig=4}} by the morning of June 20. Alberto moved ashore at 09:00 UTC that day near Tampico, Mexico, and rapidly weakened over land, dissipating just nine hours later.{{cite report|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL012024_Alberto.pdf|title=Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Alberto|author1=Andrew B.

Continuously favorable conditions allowed the storm to intensify into a hurricane about 24 hours later as it moved northwestward and passed just offshore the Yucatán Peninsula. Helene then accelerated northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico due to a ridge and a deep-layer cut-off low-pressure area situated over the Tennessee Valley while expanding significantly and reaching major hurricane status late on September 26. At 03:10 UTC on the following day, Helene peaked as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (220 km/h) and a minimum pressure of {{convert|939|mbar|inHg|abbr=on}} as it struck Florida just east of the mouth of the Aucilla River, based on data from a Texas Tech StickNet observation site located about halfway between the landfall point and Perry. Thus, the cyclone became the most intense to make landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida since reliable records began. Helene quickly weakened as it moved quickly inland before degenerating into a post-tropical cyclone over Kentucky while merging with a cut-off low on September 27. The system then stalled over the state before dissipating on September 29.

Helene's precursor and early stages caused flooding in Nicaragua, Honduras, the Cayman Islands, and the Yucatán Peninsula, where high winds left more than 120,000 customers without electricity in Quintana Roo.{{Cite web |date=September 25, 2024 |title=Helene leaves Cancun behind and more than 120,000 without power |url=https://riviera-maya-news.com/helene-leaves-cancun-behind-and-more-than-120000-without-power/2024.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240925210816/https://riviera-maya-news.com/helene-leaves-cancun-behind-and-more-than-120000-without-power/2024.html |archive-date=September 25, 2024 |access-date=September 25, 2024 |work=Riviera Maya News |language=en-US}} Storm surge in Florida caused significant damage from the Tampa Bay area northward.

Several counties in or near the Big Bend suffered extensive wind impacts. Heavy crop and timber losses occurred over southern Georgia, totaling about $5.5 billion. Tens of thousands of homes and buildings suffered wind damage as far north as the Augusta area, while floodwaters entered at least 200 structures and a number of vehicles in the Atlanta area. Catastrophic flooding and more than 2,000 landslides occurred over the southern Appalachian Mountains, especially North Carolina, due to rainfall totals up to {{convert|30.78|in|mm|abbr=on}} in Busick, North Carolina.

Flooding also impacted Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio, leaving 12 homes destroyed and 104 others damaged in Pulaski County, Virginia, alone. More than 7.4 million customers lost electricity across the United States.

On October 10, a tropical wave emerged into the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa. After remaining disorganized for several days due to dry air and moderate wind shear, a circulation began developing as the system passed north of the Lesser Antilles, and early on October 19, Tropical Storm Oscar formed approximately {{convert|180|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} north of Puerto Rico. In addition to very warm seas and light to moderate wind shear, the cyclone's small size allowed for quick intensification, with Oscar reaching hurricane status by 18:00 UTC. Hurricane-force winds less than {{convert|6|mi|km|abbr=on|sigfig=1}} from the center. Late on October 19, Oscar struck Grand Turk Island with winds of 85 mph (140 km/h). The system then turned southwestward due to low- to mid-level ridge over the eastern United States and passed near Inagua in the Bahamas on October 20, shortly before Oscar's barometric pressure fell to {{convert|984|mbar|inHg|abbr=on}}. At 22:00 UTC, Oscar made landfall at Baracoa, located in the Cuban province of Guantánamo. Oscar quickly weakened to a tropical storm early on October 21 and slowed considerably due to collapsing steering currents, but re-emerged into the Atlantic several hours later. Late on October 22, Oscar degenerated into a trough over the central Bahamas, before soon being absorbed by a non-tropical low.{{cite report|last=Papin|first=Philippe|title=Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Oscar|date=March 11, 2025|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL162024_Oscar.pdf|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=April 6, 2025}}

On October 26, the NHC began monitoring the southwestern Caribbean in anticipation of tropical development.{{cite report|last=Berg|first=Robbie|title=Tropical Weather Outlook|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/xgtwo/gtwo_archive.php?current_issuance=202410262323&basin=atl&fdays=7|date=October 26, 2024|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=November 3, 2024}} Convection increased markedly in early November in association with a Central American Gyre. However, the presence of a well-defined circulation could not be confirmed until November 4, when Tropical Depression Eighteen formed at 12:00 UTC roughly {{convert|205|mi|km|abbr=on|round=5}} southwest of Kingston, Jamaica. The depression continued to strengthen, and became Tropical Storm Rafael six hours later. The storm tracked northwestward along the southwestern side of a ridge over the western Atlantic on November 5, and passed to the west of Jamaica. That afternoon it developed an inner wind core, and strengthened into a hurricane early on November 6. Later that day, at 21:15 UTC, Rafael made landfall just east of Playa Majana, in the Cuban province of Artemisa, with winds of {{cvt|100|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. A few hours later, the system entered the Gulf of Mexico, as a weaker Category 2 hurricane. It then proceeded to turn west-northwestward and re-intensify, becoming a major hurricane once again early on November 8 with peak winds of {{cvt|105|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} and a minimum pressure of {{convert|954|mbar|inHg|abbr=on}}. That afternoon, however, the system turned westward and began losing strength and organization, due to increasing westerly wind shear and dry air intrusion.

{{main|Tropical Storm Sara}}

On November 11, a large area of low-pressure merged with a tropical wave south of Hispaniola over the central Caribbean Sea. The system moved generally westward and gradually organized over the next few days. Then, early on November 14, the system developed into Tropical Depression Nineteen about {{cvt|150|mi|km|round=5|abbr=on}} east of the Honduras-Nicaragua border. Later that day, Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft found maximum sustained winds of around {{cvt|35|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}, indicating that the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Sara. The cyclone then made landfall in Honduras near Punt Patuca early on November 15, but soon re-emerged into the Caribbean and strengthened further, peaking with winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and a minimum pressure of {{convert|997|mbar|inHg|abbr=on}} around 12:00 UTC. Sara then drifted generally west-northwestward, making landfall in Belize near Dangriga around 14:00 UTC on November 17. The cyclone weakened to a tropical depression about four hours later and dissipated early on November 18 over Campeche. After emerging into the Bay of Campeche, the remnants merged with a frontal system moving across the Southeastern United States within a few days.{{cite report|last=Kelly|first=Larry|title=Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Sara|date=February 19, 2025|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL192024_Sara.pdf|publisher=National Hurricane Center|location=Miami, Florida|access-date=March 24, 2025}}

They were replaced with Brianna, Holly,{{#tag:ref|The name Holly was used twice under previous naming conventions: in 1969, and in 1976.|group="nb"}} and Miguel, respectively, which will first appear on the 2030 season list.{{Cite news|date=April 2, 2025|title=WMO Hurricane Committee retires names of Beryl, Helene, Milton and John|url=https://wmo.int/media/news/wmo-hurricane-committee-retires-names-of-beryl-helene-milton-and-john|author=World Meteorological Organization|access-date=April 2, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250409211622/https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/wmo-hurricane-committee-retires-names-of-beryl-helene-milton-and-john |archive-date=April 9, 2025}}

This is a table of all of the storms that formed in the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their name, duration, peak classification and intensities, areas affected, damage, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 2024 USD.
