1
00:00:02,168 --> 00:00:05,138
After a slow start to the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season,

2
00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:07,874
activity picked up in early September.

3
00:00:07,874 --> 00:00:11,778
The Atlantic went without a named storm 
from July 6 through August 31.

4
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:14,748
For the first time since 1997, August passed without a named storm.

5
00:00:15,448 --> 00:00:19,953
On September 1, Tropical Storm Danielle 
formed in the far North Atlantic.

6
00:00:19,953 --> 00:00:22,555
NOAA satellites monitored the storm as it gained strength

7
00:00:22,555 --> 00:00:25,525
in an area where hurricanes are rare.

8
00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:34,234
The satellites measured record-warm ocean 
temperatures that fueled Danielle.

9
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:37,670
They tracked Danielle as it strenghtened into the first Atlantic hurricane

10
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:40,640
of the season on September 2.

11
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:45,645
After weakening and restrengthening into a hurricane,

12
00:00:45,645 --> 00:00:49,282
Danielle has remained over open water in the central North Atlantic.

13
00:00:50,016 --> 00:00:53,720
Tropcial Storm Earl developed east of the Northern Leeward Islands

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,424
on September 3, and brought heavy rains to parts of the Caribbean.

15
00:00:57,424 --> 00:01:00,760
Earl strengthened into a hurricane on September 6 while located

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,730
550 miles south of Bermuda.

17
00:01:04,964 --> 00:01:10,437
NOAA satellites are tracking Earl as it moves north.

18
00:01:10,603 --> 00:01:16,276
Hurricane Earl is expected to pass southeast of Bermud
a late on September 8.

19
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:20,380
As activity ramps up, NOAA continues to predict an above-average

20
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:23,349
Atlantic hurricane season. 
Conditions are favorable for tropical activity

21
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:27,087
as the historical peak of the season approaches on September 10.

22
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:34,227
As Atlantic hurricane season peaks, NOAA satellites remain our watchful eyes in the sky,

23
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:38,965
providing critical information for 
hurricane forecasting, tracking, and intensity estimation.
