	Hurricane Cesar-Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hurricane Cesar was the third named storm of the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season.
		Hurricane Cesar was a moisture-laden tropical cyclone that dropped heavy rains along its path through the southern Caribbean Sea and Central America.
		Hurricane Douglas brought up to 6 inches (150 mm) of rain on the south coast of Mexico and resulted in a 4 foot (1.2 m) storm surge, but no deaths were reported.

		Hurricane Nora developed as a tropical depression in the eastern Pacific Ocean on the 1st.
		Hurricane Marty developed as a tropical depression in the eastern Pacific Ocean on the 19th.
		Hurricane Ignacio developed off the west coast of Mexico on the 21st and became a hurricane by the 24th as it entered the Gulf of California.

		That in itself was a record.'' But while Hurricane Floyd claimed about 70 lives in the United States and the Bahamas, the 1999 season did not match the crushing toll of 1998, when Hurricane Georges killed 500 in a Caribbean rampage and Mitch took as many as 11,000 lives in Central America.
		Hurricane season is said to run from June 1 through Nov. 30 in the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
		Colorado State hurricane forecaster William Gray and his team are standing by earlier predictions of an active hurricane season similar to last year's, with 14 tropical storms, nine hurricanes and four intense hurricanes expected in 1999.

	THE 1999 HURRICANE SEASON
		When Hurricane Hugo hit the South Carolina coast, no one in Charlotte was prepared for the hurricane force winds and flooding rains that hit the city.
		The worst horror in a year that saw 14 tropical storms and 10 hurricanes was Hurricane Mitch, which killed 11,000 people last October as it dumped six feet of rain in Honduras and Nicaragua, devastating the Central American economies.
		A normal Atlantic hurricane season includes nine to 10 tropical storms, of which five to six are hurricanes and two are "intense" hurricanes with maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph.

		Hurricane Edouard spun into existence near the Cape Verdes on August 19, becoming the most intense hurricane of the season as it moved from westward to west-northwestward over the tropical Atlantic.
		Hurricane Lili developed east of Nicaragua and became the sixth major hurricane of the season, reaching hurricane status on October 17, while south of Cuba.

	Hurricane Virtual Field Trip
		A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone that sustains winds of 74 miles per hour and greater.
		Hurricanes occur in the tropical regions of the world in 7 distinct basins, and are called Hurricanes in the Carribean, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and eastern Pacific, Typhoons in the western Pacific, and Cyclones in the Indian Ocean.
		A hurricane "watch" is issued when the threat of storm conditions is expected between 24-36 hours.

	1997 Hurricane Season
		Tropical storm and hurricane activity over the North Atlantic and eastern North Pacific ocean basins is strongly affected by the vertical wind shear between the upper (200-hPa) and lower (850hPa) levels of the atmosphere.
		Climatologically, strong vertical wind shear during the hurricane season is observed throughout the Caribbean, large portions of the subtropical North Atlantic and the northern Gulf of Mexico.
		Over the North Atlantic, another notable distinction between the inactive 1997 hurricane season and the active 1995 season was a marked difference in the percentage of tropical storms and intense hurricanes that developed from African easterly waves.

	ACTIVE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON IN 1996 MARKS NEAR RECORD
		Hurricane Cesar (7/25-28) crossed Central America and became "Douglas" in the eastern Pacific, the strongest major hurricane in that basin during 1996.
		Edouard (8/22-9/3) was the strongest hurricane of the season with sustained winds of 145 mph.
		Hurricane Fran (8/24-9/6) hit the North Carolina coast, causing at least 34 deaths -- mostly by flash flooding and high winds in the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		We foresee an above-average hurricane season for the Atlantic basin in 2005.
		Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2005 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of eight of the last ten years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001; 2003, 2004).
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.

		In contrast to the Atlantic, a below-normal hurricane season is expected in the Eastern and Central Pacific.

	QUIRKS: THE 1997 HURRICANE SEASON
		Hurricane forecasters went the entire month of August with no tropical storm or hurricane activity of any kind in the Atlantic basin.
		Hurricane Linda was the most intense hurricane ever measured in the eastern Pacific, with sustained winds of 185 mph.
		The transition to cold-episodes (La Nina) of 1995 and 1996 contributed to very active Atlantic hurricane seasons and suppressed eastern Pacific seasons in both years, with the 1995 Atlantic season featuring 19 tropical storms, 11 of which reached hurricane status.

		The hurricane moved inland late Sunday, but remained centered about 45 miles west of Lazaro Cardenas where it was generating 12-foot waves, heavy rain and high winds.
		Hurricane warnings were in effect from Zihuatanejo to Mazanillo; tropical storm warnings were posted from Acapulco to eastern Zihuatanejo.
		Jerry Jarrell, National Hurricane Center forecaster, said coastal residents will take a beating as long as the storm is centered over water.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY
		For example, 1961 was an active hurricane season (NTC of 222), but there was no TC activity during August; 1995 had 19 named storms, but only one named storm developed during a 30-day period during the peak of the hurricane season between 29 August and 27 September.
		During the inactive 1968 hurricane season, three of the eight named storms formed in June (June average is 0.5).
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity between 1995-2004 to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.

		Hurricanes that have a severe impact on lives or the economy are remembered by generations after the devastation they caused, and some go into weather history.
		Whenever a hurricane has had a major impact, any country affected by the storm can request that the name of the hurricane be "retired" by agreement of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
		However, because the name does not appear after that time, it is assumed that the name was retired retrospectively for the damages caused by the 1954 storm of the same name.

		Meteorologists also warned of flash floods and mud slides, as tropical storm warnings were still in effect from Acapulco to Manzanillo.
