NOAA predicts a likely range of 8-14 named storms, of which 3-6 could become hurricanes, including 1-3 major hurricanes.

But it only takes 1 storm to devastate a community.

🌡️ Heat related deaths are preventable. Even if temperatures outside are not extreme, the temperature in a parked car can become deadly in minutes.

🚗 If the outside temperature is 80 degrees, the temperature inside a vehicle can rise to 99 degrees in as little as 10 minutes, 109 degrees in 20 minutes, 114 degrees in 30 minutes, and over 120 degrees in an hour.

🔒 Check the back seat for kids and pets before you leave. Look before you lock!

Reminder ahead of Memorial Day weekend: Swimming in a pool is NOT the same as swimming at a beach with crashing waves, winds, and dangerous currents.
You should be a strong swimmer before you go into the ocean. Learning how to swim is the best defense against drowning.

Make sure you understand how to interpret forecasts and alerts, and know what to do before, during, and after a storm. Even if you feel ready, there may be additional things you could do or learn. noaa.gov/take-action-today, or visit the link in our bio.

A key part of hurricane preparedness is understanding the dangers that remain well after a storm. This is NOT the time to put your guard down. Nearly half of hurricane fatalities occur after the storm. noaa.gov/use-caution-after-storms, or visit the link in our bio.

@noaa isn't the only agency that has hurricane hunters, so do the @af_reserve_hurricane_hunters!

Did you know that the National Hurricane Center's track forecast of a landfalling tropical cyclone has a direct impact on the Weather Prediction Center's (WPC) rainfall forecast for the storm? This forecast depends on the Air Force Hurricane Hunters "fixing" the location of the storm's center of circulation.

Owen Shieh, the WCM at the NWS WPC, toured their WC-130J and talked with their Aerial Reconnaissance Weather Officers at the Hurricane Awareness Tour (HAT) this week.
