More storms may be coming, Halloween forecast

Other storm A threat could be brewing in the Caribbean as this historically brutal hurricane season in the Atlantic basin reaches its final month later this week, forecasters say.

The season that caused massive damage (some estimates put the damage caused by Helene and Milton at nearly $100 billion) could face a new tropical threat from the western and central Caribbean, AccuWeather said. Downpours forecast across the Caribbean this week could result in life-threatening conditions such as flash flooding and landslides, regardless of whether the disturbance earns the moniker a tropical storm or not.

Water temperatures in the mid-80s, a few degrees warmer than usual for the season, may help fuel disturbances, AccuWeather senior hurricane expert Alex DaSilva told USA TODAY. Two possible disturbances provide a “high probability” of a depression or tropical storm forming in these waters toward early November, he said.

“Water temperatures are very warm and we expect the winds to be on the lower side,” DaSilva said. “So I firmly believe something will develop.”

The good news is that storms usually reach the sea at this time of year. But one of the storms could reach as far as Florida and into the Carolinas, he said.

“That’s certainly in play, but we’re talking around Election Day, 10 to 14 days away,” he said. “There’s still a lot to do, but we’ll be watching.”

Ryan Truchelut, WeatherTiger meteorologist and USA TODAY Network Contributorsays the 2024 hurricane season that began June 1 is also the first since 2005 in which Florida has recorded three landfalling hurricanes, two of which were Category 3 or higher. Helene and Milton were unusual storms with “little historical precedent,” he says.

“Simply put, we are tired,” says Truchelut. “The 2024 hurricane season hit us harder than any in a generation.”

The Northeast should enjoy fantastic candy-picking weather: warm and dry. Records will be “broken or challenged” across the region, DaSilva told USA TODAY. The expected high temperature for Boston is 78 degrees, New York could reach 75 degrees on Halloween and Philadelphia 80.

“It looks like the center of the country and the Plains states will be dry,” DaSilva said. But, he said, a cold front moving east could bring the threat of showers and thunderstorms from Ohio and Michigan to Louisiana and Texas.

The Central Plains, Rocky Mountains and Southeast will be dry, he said. But a storm system targeting the Pacific Northwest could mean “windy and raw” weather, cold with periods of rain.
