Why Houston meteorologist Frank Billingsley says hurricane winds can be a forecaster’s nightmare!Measuring hurricane winds from top to bottom are a forecaster's challenge! Frank — just out of curiosity, if a hurricane’s winds are measured at say 120 mph at ground level at landfall, how high up the hurricane “wall” is that windspeed still registering at 120 mph, or does it diminish or increase in speed at increasing heights? Or does windspeed in fact vary considerably throughout the hurricane? Jim Actually, Jim, the answer is in the last part of your question as every storm is different, hence, wind speeds can vary from top to bottom, bottom to top, and somewhere in between!, of course, recognizes the importance of knowing just how strong the wind speeds are at the ground level not just because that’s where everything is built, butwhich is also at the bottom of the storm. In general, wind speeds are about 90% lower from top (10,000 feet) to bottom (your feet), but that can vary considerably depending on the storm.flight level had winds no higher than 150mph. A standard ‘reduction’ factor would assume surface winds were 135mph

2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Predicted to be 'Extremely Active'The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has been predicted to be 'extremely active,' according to Colorado State University (CSU) meteorologists. The meteorologists' predictions forecast that there will be 23 named storms in 2024, with 11 hurricanes and five major hurricanes. It's the highest number of hurricanes the meteorologists have predicted in their 41-year history of publishing the outlooks in April. Prior to this year, the highest number of predicted hurricanes made by the CSU team was for nine hurricanes in 1995, according to an Axios report. Record warm tropical and eastern subtropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are cited as the primary reason behind the forecast, CSU said. In addition to above-average ocean temperatures, El Niño is expected to transition into La Niña by this summer or fall.
