Thursday is officially the last day of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, which ranks as the 4th busiest when it comes to named storms. There were officially 20 named storms and seven hurricanes, three of which were major.

The only hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. this year was Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall near Keaton Beach, Florida, as a category 3, producing 7-12 feet of surge and flooding rain.

Although the season ends today, the Atlantic remains abnormally warm, which will keep chances for some subtropical development possible during the offseason.

NB
 
Drove along A1A this afternoon from St. Augustine to Jacksonville Beach and the wind was pretty fierce along with the very rough seas.
This will continue through Sunday and the wind might reach 60 mph gusts at the beach.
