Special Announcement: Start of the 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Hello to all…

June 1st marked the start of the 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season. NWS Boston/Norton has sent out a Public Information Statement regarding the start of the season including storm names, some Southern New England Hurricane History and tropical system safety tips. The National Hurricane Center has now started issuing their Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlooks and have provided info on storm names and their various products. Details at the following links:

NWS Boston/Norton Public Information Statement – Start of the 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season:

National Hurricane Center – Start of the 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season – Tropical Weather Outlook and Overview of Products:

It never hurts to have preparations in place and review safety rules prior to any impending tropical system affecting the region. This info can help you stay informed and understand products issued by the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service in Boston/Norton and prepare properly if Southern New England were to be affected by a tropical system this season.
