The hurricane threat to the Southeast United States is serious because
Give this one a try later!
Most residents have never experienced a hurricane
Of rapid pop growth in coastal areas
of the vulnerability of low lying coastal areas to a storm surge
Extratropical Cyclone

, a low-pressure mid-latitude weather system characterized by converging
winds and ascending air rotating counterclockwise in the Northern
Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemispher. an extratropical
cyclone forms at the front between the polar and Ferrel cells
The following conditions would inhibit development of tropical storms and hurricanes
over the tropical eastern Atlantic:
Give this one a try later!
subsidence of air on the eastern flank of the Bermuda Azores High
Strong vertical wind shear
low vapour pressure in the middle of troposphere
Unusually low sea surface temperatures
A hurricane differs from an extratropical cyclone in that a hurricane:

has no fronts
Develops within a uniform warm and humid air mass
Is more intense but smaller
Is a warm core system
