The “cone of uncertainty” produced by the National Hurricane Center to forecast the location and ferocity of a tropical storm is getting an update this year to include predictions for inland areas, where wind and flooding are sometimes more treacherous than damage to the coasts. The goal of the expanded forecast cone is to make sure people who don’t live along a coast are aware of the dangers they could still face and features colors to show which places face threats in a much broader way than before. https://lnkd.in/gfc26YxD

Potential losses from #HurricaneMilton can now be computed from Reask #LiveCyc scenarios in EigenPrism

Hurricane Milton is approaching Florida, with forecasts warning of severe impacts across the region. Coming just days after Hurricane Helene battered the area, Milton's arrival could compound the destruction, especially in flood-prone regions. Here’s what we know so far: 1. Rapid Intensification: Hurricane Milton explosively intensified into a Category 5 storm before weakening slightly to Category 4. It is forecast to weaken to Category 3 before landfall. 2. Storm Surge: Surge levels are expected to reach 10-15 feet in the Tampa Bay area, with dangerous waves. 3. Heavy Rainfall and Tornado Risk: 5-12 inches of rain, with localized totals up to 18 inches, may cause severe flooding. Hurricane-force winds and tornadoes could begin tonight through Wednesday across central and southern Florida. In times like these, up-to-date forecasts with actionable analytics are critical. EigenPrism users with active alerts should have already started receiving notifications with impact estimates. Users can also take advantage of the multi-page impact report created for the Hurricane Milton forecasts to generate actionable insights in minutes. Reask subscribers in EigenPrism can use the LiveCyc ensemble scenarios for Milton to generate a range of potential loss estimates with more confidence. Check the image below for an example.

The National Hurricane Center is projecting Beryl to make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane along the lower or middle Texas coast. That’s where it warns of “a danger of life-threatening storm surge inundation,” and “damaging hurricane-force winds.”
In addition, heavy rains, totaling at least 5 to 10 inches, are projected inland, bringing the threat of flash and urban flooding. And this system appears prone to produce a few quick-hitting tropical tornadoes, which could affect the greater #Houston metro area even if landfall ends up being much farther to the west.

Here’s what we know so far: Rapid Intensification: Hurricane Milton explosively intensified into a Category 5 storm before weakening slightly to Category 4. It is forecast to restrengthen to Category 5 before weakening again by landfall.

Helene: Essential information Everything you need to know about evacuations, shelters and closures as Helene moves in for landfall. A major hurricane is coming to the Gulf of Mexico, and AccuWeather meteorologists warn that the fast-brewing, quick-moving storm can potentially bring life-threatening storm surge, flooding rainfall, and destructive winds to many communities along the Gulf Coast. https://lnkd.in/e8xkFVNX #Helene

There have been numerous reports predicting a strong hurricane season in the US, and Hurricane Helene is a stark reminder of those forecasts coming true. Helene has left a path of devastation across Florida and Georgia, claiming lives and leaving over 1.3 million homes without power. With wind speeds reaching 140 mph, it remains a significant threat as it approaches Atlanta. We stand with the impacted communities and commend the heroic efforts of first responders. We must all accept that these hazards will become more frequent and more intense, and build resilience in our real estate portfolios and communities.
