2019 Atlantic usercane season

If you're new to the usercane concept, check this blog if you want to see how usercanes work: How Usercanes Actually Work.

The 2019 Atlantic usercane season is an ongoing event in the formation of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic. The season officially began on January 1, 2019, and will end on December 31, 2019. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention.

Seasonal forecasts
Ahead of and during the season, several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale) will form during a season. These agencies include the National Usercane Center (NUC), Bob Nekaro Weather Center (BNWC), HT Meteorological Center (HTMC), Porygonal Weather Service (PWC), Cooper Meteorological Agency (CMA), and many others.

The first forecast for the year was issued by the CMA on January 1, 2019. The forecast called for an above-average season in terms of named storms, but a below-average season in terms of hurricanes and major hurricanes. Another forecast issued by the HWC was released that same day. They anticipated an above average named storm count with 30-34 named storms, but 3-6 hurricanes and only 1-2 major hurricanes expected. Later that day the DHC and the AHHC released their forecasts for the season, with the DHC predicting a hyperactive season with 64 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. The AHHC predicted an active season with 40 named storms, 5 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. Then, the WHC predicted an above average season with 35-45 named storms, 4-6 hurricanes and 1-2 major hurricanes. Also on the same day, the MCHWS predicted an above average named storm count with 26-32 named storms, however slightly more hurricanes than others with 5-8 hurricanes and 1-3 major hurricanes. On January 2nd, 2019, the FMC issued their forecast with an above average season with 27-36 named storms, 3-7 hurricanes and 1-4 major hurricanes. The SDTWFC released its forecast with 29-33 named storms, an above average number of hurricanes with 5-6 but only 1-2 major hurricanes. Soon after, The OSMC released their forecast predicting 35-42 named storms, 4-6 hurricanes and 1-3 major hurricanes. The RMA then released their forecast, predicting a total of 24-28 named storms, 406 hurricanes and 1-2 major hurricanes. On January 3rd, the DQW4W9WGXC Weather station released its forecast calling for 15-25 named storms, 2-5 usercanes, and 1 major usercane.

Season effects
This is a table of all the storms that have formed in the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s), denoted in parentheses, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a tropical wave, or a low, and all the damage figures are in USD.
