MIAMI — Hurricane season hasn’t read the room.
This record breaking season continues with another area to watch down in the Caribbean this weekend.
The area of disturbed weather will move into the warm waters of the Caribbean and be underneath a favorable upper-level wind pattern.
The Gulf Coast today was beginning the cleanup from yet another hurricane — this time Hurricane Zeta, now a tropical storm over North Carolina.
Meanwhile, hurricane fatigue has set in even among the most ardent of weather watchers:
That also included National Hurricane Center forecasters:
The hurricane center was tracking a pair of tropical waves that was combining into one large tropical disturbance as of Thursday morning.
The disturbance is expected to move across the Caribbean and could develop into a tropical depression by this weekend or early next week.
The hurricane center put the system on the board on Wednesday with a 20 percent chance of development. That has climbed to 60 percent as of Thursday morning.
Hurricane forecasters burned through the 2020 list of storm names in September and have had to use the Greek alphabet since then for names.
The next name on the list is Eta (pronounced a-tuh). There’s already been Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon and Zeta.
The Atlantic hurricane season couldn’t end soon enough, but the last official day will be November 30.
