Increased Chance Of The U.S Being Hit By A Hurricane

An article written by the Sun-Sentinel, talks about how the United States runs a risk of being hit by a hurricane this year.This is because conditions, which in the past have guided the storms away from southern areas, such as Florida and Texas shores, have weakened.

This year, the low-pressure system has weakened and the high-pressure ridge is almost absent.”

The article also discusses the rapid development of storms this year. Normally, the first tropical storm of the season appears the first week of July, this year Tropical Storm Arlene developed on June 28^th.
