June through November. The notch is October.

No date. the week of, at best — this one is decided by the weather, not by the calendar, so the honest answer is a month rather than a day.

How often we have called it on

We have not once called this on, across 6 Sunday builds. That is our own weekly verdict rather than a measurement of the trigger, and a condition that fires midweek can pass between two builds.

From the field

Outflow clouds build exceptional sunsets 1-2 days ahead of landfall; post-storm surf at the Skyway. Never a fly-into-it signal.
