(CNN) -- Sixteen named storms, including eight hurricanes, are forecast for the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, according to early predictions released Thursday by experts at Colorado State University. "Two of the last three years have had major hurricane landfalls in the US (2017 and 2018)," Miller said. "Before that, there was a 12-year drought without a single major hurricane landfall anywhere in the country (from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 to Hurricane Harvey in 2017)." "The last major hurricane to strike the US was Hurricane Michael in 2018," he said. April is about the earliest experts can get a good indication of what conditions will be like during the hurricane season.
(CNN) - Super Typhoon Hagibis rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a super typhoon Monday. "The wind speed increased by 100 mph in only 24 hours," said CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller. The super typhoon is near the Northern Mariana Islands with sustained winds of 160 mph -- the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. It will track between the islands of Anatahan and Sarigan, according to the latest forecast from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center has low confidence in its forecast on Friday and Saturday, so this powerful and dangerous super typhoon needs to be watched closely in the coming days.
NOAA's forecast for the path of Hurricane Dorian as of Monday, September 2 at 4 a.m. An 8-year-old boy from the Abaco Islands apparently drowned in rising waters, his grandmother told Eyewitness News in the Bahamas. FOLLOW LIVE UPDATESThe storm has already wiped out power to Nassau and the rest of New Providence, the country's most populous island, Bahamas Power and Light said. "It's just an absolutely devastating, life-threatening situation," said Ken Graham, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. How Dorian could pummel the USAfter Dorian leaves the Bahamas, it threatens to turn its destructive force on the US Southeast.
(CNN) - Hurricane Dorian is set to pummel the northwest Bahamas this weekend with potentially catastrophic wind and storm surge before threatening the coastal US Southeast, from Florida to North Carolina, next week. Life-threatening storm surges of 10 to 15 feet could crash Sunday into the Abacos Islands and Grand Bahama, the National Hurricane Center said. The northwestern Bahamas also could get 10 to 25 inches of rain, the hurricane center said. Dorian is expected to move across the Bahamas slowly, creating life-threatening conditions as "rain, winds and storm surge (keep) piling up," hurricane center Director Ken Graham said Saturday. Tropical-storm-force winds could arrive in southeastern Florida by Sunday evening, the National Hurricane Center said.
(CNN) - Hurricane Dorian is no small threat. And President Donald Trump said the Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds looks like it "can be an absolute monster." A hurricane warning was issued for the northwestern Bahamas excluding Andros Island, where a hurricane watch remained in effect. "Although fluctuations in intensity are possible early next week, Dorian is expected to remain a powerful hurricane during the next few days," the hurricane center said. Tuesday:Forecasts call for Hurricane Dorian to approach mainland Florida on Tuesday night, CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller said.
LAKELAND, Fla. - The first all-female crew to conduct a hurricane reconnaissance mission for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) took off Thursday. Rebecca Waddington and Lt. Lindsey Norman -- were tasked with learning about Hurricane Dorian as it moved toward the US mainland. The crew took off from and landed at Lakeland Linder International Airport. Waddington and Twining made history last year, too, when they were part of the first hurricane hunting mission piloted by an all-female flight crew. A state of emergency has been declared for all 67 Florida counties, and residents have been stocking up on supplies.

Friday marks the beginning of Florida's King Tides, a term that refers to the highest tides in any given period. King Tides, sometimes called Spring Tides, typically appear in the spring and fall. (Though the term "Spring Tides" refers to spring as in the action, not the season). "The King Tides adding a couple of feet to the water height is almost like the storm being a category higher on scale." Something like the King Tides could mean those who would typically see themselves as far enough away from the storm's threat could, in fact, be in danger.
CNN imageHONOLULU, Hawaii - The storm's well-formed eye is ominous as it takes aim just south of Hawaii. Hurricane Erick is now a Category 3 storm, packing sustained winds of 125 miles per hour. New satellite imagery from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows the storm's clearly defined eye and powerful eye wall, the ring of storms that surround the storm's center. "The satellite loop shows a very strong hurricane with a well-formed eye," CNN senior meteorologist Brandon Miller said. "But while the eye of the storm looks mostly clear, closer inspection reveals some small, spinning cloud streaks that are hallmarks of very intense hurricanes and typhoons."
"Not too often you catch a Category 4 hurricane and a solar eclipse occurring in the same satellite loop," the National Weather Service tweeted with a clip of video. The National Hurricane Center issued an advisory on Hurricane Barbara, which is more than 1,000 miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. Simultaneously, a total solar eclipse was visible across South America. Outside that area, a partial solar eclipse was visible. Thanks to the National Weather Service, we're able to see the two events from a different perspective.
