00:00Hurricane season started slow, but now it's heating up fast.

00:04The Atlantic is waking up with four tropical storms already,

00:07two of which unleashed deadly floods on the U.S.

00:10But here's what has meteorologists really worried.

00:12Record-breaking ocean heat.

00:14A massive marine heat wave has formed in the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico,

00:19fueling fears of more intense storms.

00:21These warmer-than-normal waters are like rocket fuel for hurricanes.

00:25More moisture, more power, and more danger.

00:28Experts say this heat is part of why storms might hit the East Coast

00:31instead of drifting harmlessly out to sea.

00:34One buoy in the Florida Keys just clocked a jaw-dropping 99-degree ocean temperature.

00:38And new storm-enhancing patterns, like the Madden-Julian Oscillation, are moving in.

00:44Forecast models now point to a sharp rise in activity after August 15th.

00:48It's too early to name where or when, but the setup looks eerily perfect for hurricanes.

00:53Meteorologists say we're entering the most dangerous ten weeks of hurricane season.

00:58So don't let the calm fool you.

01:00This could just be the quiet before the storm.
