In Hurricane Season 2010, Hurricane Watches and Warnings, along with Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings will be issued 12 hours earlier than previous years.
Since the new year has begun, I thought it would be good to wrap up loose ends for 2009 and look ahead to what's happening at the start of 2010.
This year has seen plenty of big weather related stories, and we're going to count them down. We want to know what you think is the biggest weather story of the year.
