We have slightly increased our forecast and continue to call for an extremely active Atlantic hurricane season in 2024. Sea surface temperatures averaged across the hurricane Main Development Region of the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean remain near record warm levels. Extremely warm sea surface temperatures provide a much more conducive dynamic and thermodynamic environment for hurricane formation and intensification.

Commissioner’s Bulletin # B-0008-24 Re:   Hurricane Beryl – adjusters and repairs

Published on: July 5, 2024

Current forecasts indicate Beryl will make landfall on the Texas coast late this weekend. In addition to putting a policy moratorium in effect, TWIA has activated our Catastrophe Incident Response (CAT) Plan.

Activating the CAT Plan allows TWIA to begin scaling up resources, so we can quickly respond to policyholders with losses from the storm.

NOAA National Weather Service forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center predict above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year. NOAA’s outlook for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which spans from June 1 to November 30, predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season, a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season.
