The 2018 Hurricane Season starts in May this year!


Subtropical Storm Alberto is located 65 miles  N-NW of the western tip of Cuba and is moving to the north-north at 13 mph (20 km/h). This means the storm has wind speeds of at least 38 mph (58 km/h). For it to be a hurricane, the storm has to reach 74 mph (119 km/h). More good information in this new Live science article.

Alberto will threaten the Gulf Coast, from Florida to Louisiana, with flooding, storm surge, and strong winds. Watches and Warnings have been issued. We’ll keep an eye on it. For now, Florida and Mississippi have declared 'states of emergency' ahead of the storm.

The National Hurricane Center website is a great place to get the latest information. Their last path prediction is below.
