Weathering the Storms: Leftist Media Won’t Want You to Laugh at This

Well, well, well, looks like West-Central Florida got a visit from Hurricane Milton, and the Southeast is nursing their wounds from Helene. Brace yourselves, folks, because the National Hurricane Center is eyeing the next potential storm, and it’s preparing to christen it Nadine.

Turns out, the liberal media was squawking about a developing system off the east coast of Florida, but it fizzled out before it could rise to the occasion and become Tropical Storm Nadine. So, back to the drawing board for the sue-happy, trigger-happy libs.

Now, they’re watchin’ some weird system in the east tropical Atlantic Ocean. It’s hanging out a couple of hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, which is basically Africa’s backyard, and it’s movin’ westward. Might turn into a tropical depression, or so they say. The NHC threw us a bone here, suggesting a 40% chance of formation over the next seven days.

But here’s the kicker: According to the so-called experts at AccuWeather, the tropics near the U.S. might be on vacation for most of next week. But they’re hinting at a medium risk of tropical development from Thursday, Oct. 17, to Saturday, Oct. 19, in the western Caribbean. Great, another liberal conspiracy to spike up the hurricane count.

And get this: There’s gonna be a gyre forming over Central America next week. “From this large, slowly spinning area of low pressure, a more distinct area of showers and thunderstorms may form, and from that, a tropical depression or tropical storm may evolve,” says AccuWeather’s lead hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva in the forecast. More spin, less substance—typical leftist strategy.

Oh, and a real trooper: A Florida dog rescued from Hurricane Milton off I-75 is up for adoption. Talk about a survivor, unlike some of these snowflakes who can’t handle a breeze.

Where’s Tropical Storm Leslie?

Designated as a tropical storm on Oct. 2, Leslie did a little dance and turned into Hurricane Leslie, then back to a tropical storm by Thursday. On Saturday, the National Hurricane Center reported that Leslie—about 975 miles west-southwest of the Azores—had degenerated into a trough and isn’t a threat to the U.S. Good riddance.

Leslie is blowing around with maximum sustained winds near 50 mph and is expected to weaken over the next couple of days. Same old story, no real threat.

When’s the 2024 Hurricane Season Over?

We’ve got more than seven weeks left in the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30. So far, 13 storms have made their debut. The next ones to hit the stage are Nadine and Oscar.

After a pretty silent five weeks, the 2024 season is now above average, thanks to Helene and Milton. According to Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach, the season has generated 127 on the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, making it “officially meeting NOAA's definition of an above-normal season." Nice try, lefties, but weather doesn’t care about your agendas.
