Storm continues from page one
Forecasters and scientists describe key ingredients they monitor to understand storms. The note outlines ongoing efforts to analyze atmospheric conditions, wind patterns, and moisture signals across storms that persist from earlier pages.
How Tropical Storm Seeds Fuel Hurricanes
Tropical storms begin as small disturbances scattered across the tropics. In the Atlantic, seeds form over Africa or near Cape Verde and drift westward into the warm Atlantic where ocean conditions fuel their growth into tropical storms and hurricanes. Forecasters watch the African monsoon for clues each spring.

Warm water fuels hurricanes and storm strength
Hurricanes rely on ocean heat, thriving when surface water is 80 F or warmer. The depth of the warm layer matters. deep warm water provides more fuel as churned heat from below dilutes less, enabling stronger storms. Peak activity occurs August to October as the ocean warms.
Upper level winds and tropical storm development
Prevailing winds at different altitudes create wind shear that can hinder storm organization by disrupting rising air plumes and venting energy. El Niño and La Niña alter Atlantic wind shear, with El Niño boosting shear and suppressing storms while La Niña lowers shear and may favor more tropical activity. Current conditions are near neutral as forecasters monitor changes.
