New to Florida and hurricanes? Here are answers to basic questions before a storm develops
Whether you're brand new to Florida, or you could use a few reminders, here's a quick-hit version of what you should know when it comes to hurricanes. ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location Technically, there is no such thing as the "Florida hurricane season," although many post that query into Google. Florida is covered under the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30. The busiest time of the Atlantic hurricane season runs from mid-August through mid-October. The peak is Sept. 10. That depends on several factors, including where it develops and how fast it's moving. In a worst-case scenario, you may have only hours to react. You'll have less time to react if a hurricane forms close to the U.S., such as off the southeastern U.S. or the Gulf of America. Officials repeatedly encourage residents to prepare for a hurricane before a storm is on its way. During the early months of hurricane season, storms historically develop close to the U.S. and Florida. Later in the season, more storms develop out of tropical waves moving off the coast of Africa, giving residents in the path more time to prepare. Remember, though, the farther a storm is from Florida and the U.S., the more uncertainty there is on how strong it will be if or when it makes landfall and where or if it will make landfall. All predictions are for an above-average season. NOAA is predicting: Named storms: 13-19 Hurricanes: 6-10 Major hurricanes: 3-5 AccuWeather is predicting: Named storms: 13 to 18 Hurricanes: 7-10 Major hurricanes: 3-5 Direct U.S. impacts: 3-6 Colorado State University is predicting: 17 named storms 9 hurricanes 4 major hurricanes Named storms: 14 Hurricanes: 7 Major hurricanes: 3 Put together a disaster supplies kit with water and non-perishable food now, before a storm is approaching. Look over your home and yard for anything that could pose a danger. Determine if you live in a flood-prone area. Find out if you live in an evacuation zone. Develop an evacuation plan.

Storm surge is the water pushed toward shore by winds associated with a tropical cyclone. Historically, storm surge "has caused the largest loss of life in hurricanes." Think you're safe if you don't live on the coast? "Storm surge can travel several miles inland, especially along bays, rivers, and estuaries," NOAA said. Usually, watches are issued before warnings. Watches give you more time to prepare. Warnings mean it's time to finalize and complete your preparations and get to a safe place. Hurricane watch: A hurricane watch means hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Hurricane warning: A hurricane warning means hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. Hurricanes are categorized using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Here's what each category means and the maximum sustained winds for each: : Winds 74-95 mph. Very dangerous winds will produce some damage. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days. Category 2: Winds 96-110 mph. Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage. Shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks. Category 3: Winds 111-129 mph. Devastating damage will occur. Well-built framed homes may incur major damage. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks. Considered a major hurricane. Category 4: Winds 130-156 mph. Catastrophic damage will occur. Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Considered a major hurricane. Category 5: Winds 157 mph or higher. Catastrophic damage will occur. A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months. Considered a major hurricane. No, although it's an idea that has been proposed in the past. Don't expect any changes anytime soon, as the National Hurricane Center said it has no plans to make any changes to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Three Category 5 hurricanes have hit Florida since 1900: Labor Day Hurricane, 1935: The hurricane hit the Florida Keys. Winds were estimated between 150 and 200 mph at landfall. Hurricane Andrew, 1992: Landfall was in South Miami-Dade County. Maximum sustained winds were 165 mph. Hurricane Michael, 2018: Landfall was near Tyndall Air Force Base in the Panhandle. Maximum sustained winds were 161 mph. "On the average, close to seven hurricanes every four years strike the United States, while about three major hurricanes cross the U.S. coast every five years," NOAA said. Forty percent of all U.S. hurricanes hit Florida Sixty percent of major hurricanes strikes have hit either Florida or Texas Several conditions need to exist for a hurricane to develop, NOAA said, including: Ocean waters should be 80 degrees at the surface and warm for a depth of 150 feet. An atmosphere which cools fast enough with increasing height so the difference between the top and bottom of the atmosphere can create thunderstorm conditions. Spin. A storm needs to be at least 300 miles from the equator for the Coriolis force for the typical spin we associate with hurricanes. Low vertical wind shear, which favor thunderstorms, which provide the energy for tropical cyclones. "There have been numerous techniques that have been considered over the years to modify hurricanes," ranging from seeding clouds with dry ice, cooling the ocean with icebergs, flying jets clockwise in the eyewall to reverse the flow, exploding the hurricane apart with hydrogen bombs, and blowing the storm away from land with giant fans. "As carefully reasoned as some of these suggestions are, they all share the same shortcoming: They fail to appreciate the size and power of tropical cyclones." NOAA said.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca critcizes weather delays at Club World Cup and questions US hosting the competition
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca hit out at the Club World Cup organizers and suggested the United States is not a suitable host for the competition after his team's last-16 win over Benfica was disrupted by a two-hour weather delay. 'For me personally, it's not football. It's already seven, eight, nine games that they suspended here. I think it's a joke,' he told reporters after Chelsea's dramatic, extra time 4-1 win on Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina. 'I can understand that for security reasons, you have to suspend the game. But if you suspend seven or eight games, that means that probably this is not the right place to do this competition.' Six matches have now been suspended in five cities across the US due to adverse weather at this tournament, a year before the country is due to host the men's World Cup. On Saturday, Chelsea's match was suspended in the 85th minute when the Blues were 1-0 up thanks to Reece James' brilliant, long-range free kick midway through the second half. Enormous grey clouds gathered over the Bank of America Stadium as the players trudged off the field, bringing thunderstorms and a risk of lightning which delayed the match for one hour and 53 minutes. When they returned to play the final minutes of the match, Benfica equalized through Ángel Di María's penalty in the 95th minute to force extra time. But, instead of the momentum swinging towards the Portuguese club, Chelsea regrouped and scored three goals in less than 10 minutes to secure a thrilling win and its spot in the quarterfinals. That such a match took more than four hours to play, however, dominated the press conference afterward. 'It's not normal to suspend a game,' Maresca continued. 'In a World Cup how many games have they suspended? Zero, probably. In a European (championship), how many games? Zero. We are here, two weeks, and they already suspend six, seven games. There is some problem, for me personally.' FIFA, soccer's global governing body which organizes the Club World Cup, has not responded to CNN's request for comment. At the time of the delay, FIFA issued a statement saying that it was following 'the established safety protocols.' Maresca was quick to clarify he thought the Club World Cup was 'a fantastic competition,' and that he was 'talking as a manger' who had struggled to keep his players focused during the two-hour delay. 'When you are two hours inside and you're trying to keep them in the game for two hours, they're speaking with the family outside for safety reasons, they're eating something, they're playing, they're laughing. How can you keep them two hours inside focused?'

Pittsburgh in for a calm, but humid weather day on Sunday
We finally get a break from the rain and storms today. You'd think we'd also get a break from humidity and heat as well but that isn't going to be the case. Today will be hotter than yesterday with highs near 88 degrees. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos Yesterday's high was 86°. Humidity levels will also remain in the high range with dewpoints in the upper 60s all day long. Temperatures do finally dip below 70 degrees this morning; the first time we've done that since last Saturday. Conditions in Pittsburgh on Sunday, June 29, 2025 KDKA Weather Center As we head through the day, there are a couple of things to talk about. First off, if you're reading this before 10 a.m., there is likely some fairly dense fog out there in spots, with the fog being denser to the north of Pittsburgh, where skies were clear all night. Places south of I-70 probably won't see too much fog due to cloudy skies not allowing sufficient cooling. The other issue is the potential for high ozone levels making their way to the surface. Ozone develops due to a chemical process in the mid-levels due to greenhouse gases and energy from the sun's rays. Most development happens in the afternoon. At least for now, readings remain low, but that may change this afternoon. Estimates from Saturday's rainfall KDKA Weather Center We will monitor things there, but at least this morning, I am not seeing anything too concerning. Looking ahead, there seems to be some uncertainty about Monday when it comes to rain and storm chances. As of this morning, the Storm Prediction Center has us painted in as a marginal level one out of five risk of severe weather on Monday. They do not have us having a severe weather risk on Tuesday. Potential for severe weather on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 KDKA Weather Center I think the data this morning is heavily leaning towards the higher risk of severe weather happening on Tuesday. There is a chance for strong storms as a warm front lifts through late Monday into Tuesday, but this storm chance happens right at midnight. Most storm activity should come on Tuesday. Similar to what we have seen over the past couple of days, strong winds and flooding due to downpours are the main concern. Tuesday is when relief really arrives as a cold front sweeps through, taking the excess moisture with it. Temperatures at that time will return to near normal for this time of the year, with highs hitting the mid-80s for the rest of the week, with morning lows in the mid to low 60s. 7-day forecast: June 29, 2025 KDKA Weather Center Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!
