The upcoming weather shift may have a significant impact on the hurricane season in Central Florida

    This weather pattern flip could play a big role in Central Florida hurricane season

    ORLANDO, Fla. – If you are spending Mother’s Day in Central Florida, you will notice that the weather is cloudy with showers and storms on the way.

    However, don’t let the weather dampen your spirits! I hope all the amazing mothers out there are able to make the most of today and enjoy themselves.

    Most of our global computer models, especially the Euro and GFS, depict an area of lowering pressure getting stuck across the southeast United States. Because of this, Florida is finally being lit up in shades of green indicating the potential for rainfall returning on a more routine basis (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)

    These rainy conditions will stick around until late tomorrow evening, after one last push of showers and potential severe thunderstorms.

    After the rain clears, we can expect drier conditions. Additionally, there is a chance of breaking temperature records next weekend. The fluctuating weather patterns have been a common theme since the beginning of 2025, and it seems like it will continue for a while.

    The question I bring to light today however has nothing to do with drought, dry air, or anything of the sort. As we continue into the middle portions of May, hurricane season is only a couple weeks out.

    How does Central Florida falling back under hot temperatures and dry conditions play a role in the hurricane season? I also add, why is this something we really need to focus in on as we go through the first month of the season and especially approaching the peak later on into August, September, and October.

    Let’s break it down.

    If you harken back to old stories I’ve written, we’ve talked about the “Pacific North American Oscillation” as well as the “North Atlantic Oscillation”.

    While not quite a textbook negative “PNA”, you can see highlighted in the shades of blue and orange our long wave features driving the large scale set up over North America. A negative configuration is defined by stronger ridging dominating the eastern US with troughing extending across the west (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)

    Both of these dictate heavily how our day-to-day weather unfolds in our neighborhood. When beneath a positive PNA, characterized by a trough of cooler air extending down from up north into the southeast U.S., we tend to feel faster moving winds at ground level and our rains are general more persistent during the day.

    But once we switch to a negative PNA, where our local weather pattern is absolutely dominated by a strong ridge of high pressure, we’re noticeably drier. Winds aren’t blowing as much. This was a direct contributor to our drought and brush fire risks building during the month of April.

    That dome of high pressure is an extension of the Bermuda Azores high spread out like a dome across the Atlantic ocean. As the name implies, when it’s in a more traditional configuration, its influence is felt from the Azores just off the coast of Portugal, to Bermuda off our Mid-Atlantic shores.

    This pressure center is also a HUGE signal we use when determining where tropical waves, and unfortunately tropical cyclones could track during busy periods of the hurricane season. The North Atlantic Oscillation mentioned above is a key tool to look at when we want to see whether this high pressure will be stronger or weaker.

    The ridging we find over the southeast/east coast United States can sometimes couple with the Bermuda high pressure found across the Atlantic ocean. Here you can see when in a weakened phase, it allows tropical systems to “escape” northward. But in a stronger state, pushes tropical cyclones westward much closer to home. Pair this with the Pacific North American pattern we’ve discussed and this gets interesting. (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)

    Where we stand currently, long-range models seem to suggest we could see a more potent extension of our Bermuda-Azores high stuck up against the eastern U.S. as we head through the bulk of hurricane season. Now pending when and where we see features try to organize, this could suggest we’ll have more tropical systems trying to make a run into the Caribbean, or towards the Bahamas, and towards the Gulf.

    Anything that manages to get that close to us could be a problem. Of course I have to caution immediately, these are forecast models attempting to look several months into the future. So as we go from the middle portions of May, into June, July, and so on, skill drops off like the 90 degree plunge of SheiKra at Busch Gardens.

    As ridging begins to build in overhead, replacing our low pressure system that provided us with a few inches of rain, temperatures are going to climb rapidly back up into the 90s (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)

    But, this is a critical signal that can’t be ignored. Not only will this try to bring back dry, drought conditions for us here in Florida, but it could create some dicey scenarios for Floridians when the hurricane season does arrive. Last year, the ridging we’re describing here was both a curse and a blessing for us.

    We’re shifting gears dramatically once again from a very wet and rainy pattern to drying out for the middle portions of the month of May (Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)

    A curse that drove Helene and Debbie right into us. A blessing that kept Rafael and Sara from becoming our fourth and fifth named storms to landfall the state of Florida. For now, let’s keep watching!

    And get ready for a summer style return in our area the next several days.
