4 30 Years of Hurricanes in Canada

5 Why Does Canada have a Hurricane Centre? Back in 1985 a hurricane named Gloria tracked up the east coast of the U.S. Media coverage was intense and some U.S. media mentioning the likelihood of significant impacts in eastern Canada The behavior of tropical cyclones as they approach northern latitudes was not well understood at the time Damage was minimal over Canada

6 Canadian Hurricane Centre After about 2 years of planning, the Canadian Hurricane Centre was established in 1987 (August 31 st ) First official bulletin issued by the CHC was for hurricane Emily at 9 pm Friday September 25 th 1987 Only 3 forecast positions

7 Canadian Hurricane Centre Response Zone Since 1987 the CHC has sent 2445 bulletins and 116 storms have entered the Response Zone Average extent of Gale- Force winds in a tropical cyclone at that latitude

8 Then and Now 1987 Tropical Cyclone Forecasts extended out to 72 hours Canada did not have a seat on the International World Meteorological Organization s Regional Area IV Tropical Committee The CHC did not have a special website for tropical cyclones No tropical-type watches or warnings Canada had never requested a tropical cyclone name be retired Typical forecast track error for 72 hours was 550 km Today Current track forecasts extend out to 120 hours Canada is now a key member and significant contributor to this committee The CHC now has a dedicated website for tropical cyclone information (est. 1998) CHC now has the ability to issue tropical-type watches and warning Two tropical cyclone names have been retired at Canada s request: Juan and Igor Track error for 72 hour is now 198 km

9 Impacts Since the CHC s creation DFAA Programs Number of Programs Cost 42% of DFAA programs since 1987 have been related to Tropical Cyclones 51% of costs since 1987 have been related to Tropical Cyclones

10 Our partners in Emergency Management.. Canadian Hurricane Centre Very close working relationship with emergency management officials Through Warning Preparedness Meteorologist program we train and exercise on a regular basis Seasonal prep briefings Storm briefings during events Relocation the provincial EOC in some cases

11 and our partners in the media Canadian Hurricane Centre Dedicated media room with direct plug-in facilities Seasonal forecast briefings Media workshops Special media technical briefings during actual events Media Technical Briefings

12 Tropical Cyclones

13 Tropical Cyclone Tropical cyclone is a relatively large and long-lasting low pressure systems that form over warm tropical water Tropical cyclones must have a closed surface wind circulation around a well-defined center They are classified by maximum sustained surface wind speed

14 Checklist for tropical cyclone formation Warm ocean waters that is sufficiently deep Unstable atmosphere High humidity in the lower levels of the atmosphere Low wind shear

15 Tropical Cyclone Classification Hurricane Major Hurricane Tropical Storm Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Category 4 Category 5 Wind > 63 km/h Wind > 118 km/h Wind > 154 km/h Wind > 178 km/h Wind > 211 km/h Wind > 251 km/h Debby (2012) Hermine (2016) Juan (2003) Joaquin (2015) Floyd (1999) Isabel (2003) Allison (2001) Isaac (2012) Arthur (2014) Gaston (2016) Rita (2005) Patricia (2015)

16 Tropical Cyclone Nature s Heat Engine

17 Post-Tropical Storm Post-Tropical Storm Hermine 2016 Simply stated, a posttropical cyclone is a former tropical cyclone. BUT, it does not imply a downgrade!!!

18 Tropical Cyclone Lifecycle Hurricanes typically have symmetric rain and wind fields X As hurricanes move north the interact with the jet stream and change structure Storm gets bigger and speeds up Rain shifts to the left of track Strongest winds usually on the right of track

19 Tropical vs. Post-Tropical Tropical Post-Tropical Stronger winds for a series of concentric bands around the centre of the storm Strongest winds are found in the band closest to the centre this is called the eyewall Rain is heavy and fairly symmetric around the centre of the storm Size of the storm increases Strongest winds usually found on the right side of the storm s track and some distance away from the centre Heaviest rain usually found on the left side of the storm s track

22 What happened last year? Named Storms Hurricanes Category 1 to 5 Major Hurricanes Category 3-5 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (US) Actual Number of Storms

23 2016 Hurricane Season in Review

24 2016 Hurricane Season Review 2016 season activity: 3 named storms entered CHC response zone

25 Hurricane Hermine Started off as Invest 99L Predicted to become a Tropical cyclone over the mid or western Atlantic Finally became tropical cyclone on August 28 th

26 Hurricane Hermine Initially not expected to become a hurricane 24 hours before landfall the forecast intensity increased and Hurricane Warnings were posted Florida got its first landfalling hurricane in 11 years Hermine was a category 1 when it made landfall along the sparsely populated Big Bend coast of Florida $550 M in damage in the U.S. 1 fatality in Florida

27 Hurricane Hermine Hermine moved across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina as a tropical storm and then meandered off the mid-atlantic coast as an extratropical low for a few days Storm actually regained hurricane strength as a posttropical storm over the Atlantic before weakening Beaches closed all along the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. during the Labour Day Weekend Anthem of the Seas headed was caught in the storm Hurricane strength post-tropical storm Hermine

28 Hurricane Matthew Matthew was a category 5 hurricane that later made landfall as a major hurricane in Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas. A 4 th landfall occurred in South Carolina as a category 1 Peak winds 145 knots (269 km/h) Rainfall was a the biggest hazard with this storm Haiti: mm Cuba: mm Dominican Republic: 506 mm U.S.: 481 mm Total of 585 direct deaths - more than 500 deaths in Haiti alone making Matthew the deadliest Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Stan in 2005

29 Hurricane Matthew Evacuations from coastal areas in the U.S. totaled 3 million people $8-12 B in damage in the U.S.

30 Observations and Lessons Learned Matthew generated the largest evacuation in recent years New storm surge products reduced the number of people needed to be evacuated Contra-flow measures and staggered evacuations greatly increased the effectiveness and efficiency Impassible roads prevented response teams from reaching impacted areas quickly Pre-deployment plans are currently being developed One of the biggest challenges with Hermine and Matthew was to communicate risk uncertain 24 fatalities in NC 23 flood related 19 caused by driving or walking into flood waters

31 Observations and Lessons Learned Demand for emergency shelters was lower than expected Planners typically prepare for 5-10% of evacuees to relocate to an emergency shelter During Matthew and Hermine actual percentage was more like 1-3% Officials attribute this to a combination of alternate options and low evacuation compliance Some state emergency management agencies have now hired their own meteorologists

53 Forecast Uncertainty Track Error - Cone of uncertainty is constructed by superimposing position error at each forecast time - You must assume that the centre of the storm will track ANYWHERE within that cone - There is also a 33% chance the storm could track outside the cone - Keep in mind that impacts could extend well outside the cone 2017 Position Errors 120 hrs 391 km 96 hrs 294 km 72 hrs 198 km 48 hrs 144 km 24 hrs 83 km

72 Hurricane Reference Card for NS Emergency Managers 2017 Hurricane Names Arlene Bret Cindy Don Emily Franklin Gert Harvey Irma Jose Katia Lee Maria Nate Ophelia Philippe Rina Sean Tammy Vince Whitney Storm Definitions Tropical cyclone: Generic term for rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation (tropical storm, hurricanes, typhoons etc ). Extra-tropical storm: A cyclone of any intensity for which the primary energy source comes from the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses. Sub-tropical cyclone: A non-frontal low-pressure system that has characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. A subtropical cyclone can evolve into a tropical cyclone Post-Tropical cyclone: A former tropical cyclone. This generic term describes a cyclone that no longer possesses sufficient tropical characteristics to be considered a tropical cyclone. Re-intensification may occur.
