Why are hurricanes in the eastern US more likely in autumn than in spring?

In colder seasons, the ocean holds a lot more warmth. This is because the land takes all the warmth in warmer seasons. Hurricanes develop only when ocean water is warm enough. The spring is warmer than autumn. So, the ocean is warmer in autumn than it is in spring. This means that hurricanes in the eastern United States are more likely in the spring than the summer.
