[256] Sally began to go through a period of rapid intensification around midday on September 14. This season also featured a record 10 tropical cyclones that underwent rapid intensification, tying it with 1995. [295] Two people drowned in the waters off La Pocita in Loíza, Puerto Rico due to rip currents generated by these swells on September 18,[296] as did a swimmer at Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey on September 23. [433] The storm weakened over land as it accelerated north-northeastward, emerging over the Atlantic Ocean near the Florida–Georgia state line later that day.

August 3, 2020 - Isaias makes landfall as a Category 1 hurricane near Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. Six hours later, an Air Force reconnaissance aircraft found that it had attained tropical storm strength. [399] Additionally, Dangerous Surf Advisory signs were posted at south shore beaches. By September 22, it had redeveloped tropical characteristics and the NHC resumed issuing advisories shortly thereafter. [305] The low continued westward producing weak disorganized convection[306] before opening up into a trough late on September 19[307] and dissipating the next day. Isaias and Paulette replaced Ike and Paloma, respectively, after 2008, but both names went unused in 2014. Hurricane tracking maps, current sea temperatures, and more.

[128] After Gonzalo failed to strengthen into a hurricane on July 24, the hurricane and tropical storm watches were replaced with tropical storm warnings. Thereafter, a combination of decreasing sea surface temperatures and dry air caused convection to dissipate. [61][62] Paulette struck Bermuda as a Category 1 hurricane, becoming the first tropical cyclone to make landfall there since Gonzalo in 2014. [206] Intensification was initially slow, but the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Marco at 03:00 UTC on August 22. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 2020 saw … [217] Eventually, satellite estimates revealed that the depression was intensifying and the system became consolidated enough to be upgraded to a tropical storm, and as a result was given the name Omar at 21:00 UTC on September 1. Tropical Storm Dolly also formed in June. Laura subsequently became the fourth hurricane, and first major hurricane of the season, before making landfall in southwest Louisiana at Category 4 strength with 150 mph (240 km/h) winds. [109] Unsettled weather later ensued, and the depression caused tropical storm-force wind gusts and moderate rainfall on the island early on July 5. [286], While moving generally in a north-northeasterly direction across the central Atlantic, Teddy weakened to a Category 1 hurricane during the afternoon of September 21. [167] After two days with little change in intensity, convection began to form closer to the estimated center of the depression,[168] and as a result it intensified into Tropical Storm Josephine at 15:00 UTC, August 13. The first storm to make landfall in the U.S. was Tropical Storm Bertha in South Carolina. This is a table of all of the storms that have formed in the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season.

[413] The remnants of Zeta then moved quickly out over the Atlantic. [170] Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigated the system later that day and found that the storm's center had relocated further north in the afternoon hours. The season officially started on June 1 and officially ended on November 30. In El Salvador, a mudslide caused 7 people to go missing. Typically by this date in September, we will have had 7 named storms. Seven of those storms have made landfall. An average Atlantic hurricane season features 12 tropical storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes, and features an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) count of 106. [100] However, Dolly's peak intensity proved to be short-lived as its central convection began to diminish while it drifted over colder ocean waters. [452] The system became better organized as it began to detach from a frontal boundary during the following day.

[164] The wave's circulation slowly became more defined over the ensuing several days, with signs of convective organization becoming evident on satellite imagery on the morning of August 11. By 21:00 UTC July 21, satellite imagery and scatterometer data indicated that the small low pressure system had acquired a well-defined circulation as well as sufficiently organized convection to be designated Tropical Depression Seven. Potential retirement of any 2020 names will be discussed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) during the joint 42nd and 43rd Sessions of the RA IV Hurricane Committee in the spring of 2021 (along with any names from the 2019 season, since the spring 2020 session was cancelled by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic).

Convection soon redeveloped over Gonzalo's center as the system attempted to mix out the dry air from its circulation, but the tropical storm did not strengthen further due to the hostile conditions. Typhoon tracking maps, current sea temperatures, and more. Convection consolidated and organized further, with banding developing later that day, while the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Rene about 12 hours later. 5. [13] On April 13, the University of Arizona (UA) predicted a potentially hyperactive hurricane season: 19 named storms, 10 hurricanes, 5 major hurricanes, and accumulated cyclone energy index of 163 units. [348] The storm became post tropical six hours later just 85 miles north of the Yucatán Peninsula as it failed to redevelop any central convection. log in to manage your profile and account. It regained Category 3 status in the Gulf of Mexico before weakening again and making its second landfall in Louisiana on October 9. Welcome to the 2020 Hurricane Season. As the storm accelerated northeastward and approached the Carolina coastline, wind shear relaxed, allowing the storm to quickly intensify back into a hurricane at 00:00 UTC on August 4,[153][154] and at 03:10 UTC, Isaias made landfall on Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, with 1-minute sustained winds of 85 mph (137 km/h).

[329] As a result, Wilfred failed to strengthen further, subsequently weakening to a tropical depression at 15:00 UTC on September 20. After the shear abated some late on September 2, Nana redeveloped convection over its center and quickly intensifed into a hurricane at 03:00 UTC on September 3, reaching its peak intensity with 1-minute sustained winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 994 mbars (29.36 inHg).
