Now that the tropics have turned quiet again, let’s look ahead to this winter.
A super El Niño means big boom/bust potential for the Carolinas.
There have only been 3 super El Niños on record since 1950. Here’s what happened in each of those winters.

The great pumpkin escape! 🎃💨 A giant inflatable pumpkin made a run for it in Cary, North Carolina, just outside Raleigh, as strong winds from Isaias sent it rolling away. And yes, the pumpkin made it back home!

JUST IN: Saildrone Explorer SD-1045 passed through the eye of Category 3 Hurricane Isaias, recording wind gusts over 90 knots (103 mph).
This is the same USV that filmed inside Hurricane Sam in 2021, setting a Guinness World Record.

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been two years…
45 known tornadoes (3 EF3’s, 6 EF2’s, 25 EF1’s, 7 EF0’s, & 4 EFU’s) occurred prior to Hurricane Milton’s landfall, the most tornadoes associated with any tropical cyclone in Florida history.
Loop: NWS Melbourne/IEMCOW
October 8-9, 2024:

If #Isaias sounds familiar, it should.
Hurricane Isaias hit North Carolina in 2020. It brought bad storm surge to Oak Island, high winds to the coast, and lots of tornadoes to NC.
Impressive daily rain for @ApalachicolaFL yesterday(7.49 in.). T-1 wettest October day and T-6 wettest day on record. POR only 1975-curr.

October 1st starts a new "water year".
This 12 month period is a clean reset for seasonal rainfall, and captures all of the winter rather than splitting it in two.
October 2025 - September 2026 was our *driest* water year on record dating back to 1903 for Greensboro.

The 2026 Atlantic #hurricane season continues to be remarkably quiet, producing the least Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) to date since 1950. ACE is an integrated metric accounting for storm intensity and duration.
Here is the chart from #IEM.
