The 6 Lake Strider hurricane season was a below-average season which featured mainly weak and short-lived storms. During this season, seven tropical depressions formed; of these depressions, five attained tropical storm status and one attained hurricane status. The season officially began on July 1 and ended on November 15. The first storm of the season, 01, formed on July 18, 6, while the final storm of the season, Lorraine, dissipated on December 1, 6. The first named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Hannah, caused minor coastal erosion. The strongest storm of the season, Hurricane Idris, caused widespread flooding in the city of Egbertville. The final storm of the season, Tropical Storm Lorraine, produced a storm surge of around 5 feet (1.5 m) along the western coast of Lake Strider.

In the Lake Strider basin, tropical and subtropical cyclones are tracked by the Egbertville-San Paula Weather Center (ESPWC). Due to Lake Strider's small size and generally high mean sea level pressure (MSLP), many systems that form in the basin have very high barometric pressures.

On March 18, 6, the Egbertville-San Paula Weather Center released their pre-season forecast for the 6 Lake Strider hurricane season. This forecast called for 7 named storms, 3 hurricanes, and 1 major hurricane. In early August, the ESPWC issued their mid-season forecast, which called for 5 named storms, 2 hurricanes, and 0 major hurricanes.
