The recent hurricane season has ended, and there are several months until the next season officially starts on June 1.

A sustained wind of 39 mph (63 km/h) and a gust to 46 mph (74 km/h) were recently reported at Ocean City, Maryland.

The center of Hurricane Delta was located near latitude 24.8 North, longitude 93.4 West. Delta is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

Within minutes of the National Hurricane Center upgrading Delta to a Category 3 hurricane Tuesday morning, data from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicated that sustained winds had increased to 130 mph. Residents in these areas should ensure they have their hurricane plan in place and monitor updates to the forecast of Delta,” the Hurricane Center said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - As you are aware, we are closely watching 95L, an area of low pressure over the Southern Bahamas. Thursday morning's visible satellite images don't reveal anything too interesting, suggesting that if it does develop, it won't be until Friday. The more preferable forecast model for our area shows a weak tropical storm (still Humberto) cutting across the state from Fort Lauderdale to Tallahassee. Impact on a tropical damage scale of 1-10 would be a 0.5 -- yes, zero point five. These events have a high possibility:Humberto forms on Friday eveningTropical Storm Watches and maybe Warnings will be placed along our coast on Saturday and/or Sunday.
