Hurricane Tracker - United States

As of the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and other major weather reporting agencies have issued key updates on tropical activity in the Atlantic basin. While no named hurricanes are currently active, several systems are being closely monitored for development as the season shifts toward its historically busiest months. A broad area of low pressure located in the central tropical Atlantic, roughly midway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles, has gained some organization. According to the NHC’s latest update, there is a medium chance—about 40 percent—of this disturbance developing into a tropical depression over the next seven days. Environmental conditions remain marginally conducive for intensification, with intermittent bursts of convection observed, but upper-level wind shear may limit sustained strengthening in the near term.

Closer to the U.S. coastline, an area of disorganized showers and storms off the southeastern Florida coast is being tracked. Though tropical development is not expected from this system due to strong wind shear and interaction with land, forecasters caution that localized flooding and gusty winds could affect portions of South Florida and the Keys through tomorrow, particularly in low-lying areas. The National Weather Service (NWS) Miami office has issued a flood watch for coastal and urban zones, urging residents to monitor weather alerts.

Along the Gulf Coast, a stalled frontal boundary has led to persistent heavy rainfall in parts of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has issued a marginal to slight risk of excessive rainfall through late Thursday, with potential flash flooding in urban areas already saturated from recent downpours. In addition, elevated tide levels continue along parts of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastlines due to persistent onshore flow and lunar high tides. The National Ocean Service reported minor to moderate coastal flooding in tidal regions of New Jersey and Delaware during this morning’s high tide cycle.

Looking ahead, meteorologists are focusing on the eastern Atlantic for early signs of more robust tropical waves forecast to emerge off the African coast late this week. With sea surface temperatures trending above average in the Main Development Region and wind shear forecast to ease, conditions may become increasingly favorable for tropical cyclone formation moving into early July. The next scheduled tropical weather outlook from the NHC will provide further clarity as the Atlantic hurricane season begins to ramp up.

As of the latest updates from the National Hurricane Center and NOAA, the Atlantic hurricane season is showing increasing signs of activity as forecasters continue to monitor multiple weather systems. In the past 24 hours, the most significant development is the formation of Tropical Storm Alberto, currently located in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. According to the National Hurricane Center’s 8 p.m. EDT advisory, Alberto is moving west-northwest at approximately 8 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph. The system is expected to make landfall along the northeastern coast of Mexico by late Thursday, while its outer bands extend into southern Texas.

Although Alberto is projected to remain a weak tropical storm, its slow movement and broad circulation are expected to bring heavy rainfall and localized flooding to parts of coastal Texas and northeastern Mexico. The National Weather Service has issued Tropical Storm Warnings for portions of the Texas coast from San Luis Pass to the mouth of the Rio Grande and down into Mexico. NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center highlights that rainfall totals could range from 4 to 8 inches, with isolated pockets nearing 12 inches in parts of South Texas and northern Mexico. Flash flood watches are currently in place for the region, particularly in areas with low-lying terrain and poor drainage.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic, the NHC is also monitoring two other tropical disturbances. One system, located several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands, has been given a medium chance of development over the next seven days. Though currently disorganized, environmental conditions are expected to support gradual development as it moves westward at 15 to 20 mph. The second system, farther east near the coast of Africa, is being closely tracked for long-term potential but remains poorly organized at this stage.

Tropical cyclone activity in the Eastern Pacific remains minimal, with no named storms currently active. However, meteorologists continue to watch for signs of disturbance in the equatorial Pacific that could influence tropical development in the coming weeks.

Looking ahead, residents along the Gulf Coast and coastal Mexico should remain alert to Alberto's movement and potential impacts midweek. With sea surface temperatures rising and atmospheric conditions becoming more favorable, forecasters caution that the tropical Atlantic could experience above-average activity this season. Continued monitoring and timely updates from NOAA and the National Hurricane Center will be essential as the situation evolves.

In the past 24 hours, the Atlantic hurricane season has witnessed a notable uptick in activity, as the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and NOAA issued fresh advisories related to new tropical disturbances and ongoing storm systems. As of the latest update, forecasters are closely monitoring an area of low pressure currently located a few hundred miles east of the Windward Islands. According to the NHC, this system is showing increasing signs of organization and holds a medium to high chance of development into a tropical depression over the next two to three days. Environmental conditions, including warm sea surface temperatures and light wind shear, are conducive to further intensification as the system moves west-northwestward at around 15 miles per hour.

If the system continues to develop, parts of the Lesser Antilles could experience gusty winds, heavy rains, and isolated flash flooding as early as late Thursday into Friday. Coastal regions in Saint Lucia, Dominica, and Martinique are advised to monitor local weather alerts closely. The Weather Channel has also reported that this disturbance could pose a threat to the eastern Caribbean by the weekend, depending on its trajectory and strength over the next 48 hours.

Farther out in the central tropical Atlantic, another system has emerged with a lower chance of development. Though it currently lacks a well-defined center, meteorologists are watching it for signs of organization. At this stage, it does not pose an immediate threat to land but reflects the increasingly active pattern expected as the season peaks in late August through September.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific remains quiet, with no tropical cyclones currently active. NOAA expects relatively stable conditions over the next several days in that region, although forecasters do not rule out the formation of new systems with little lead time.

Closer to the U.S. mainland, heavy rainfall and flash flooding concerns are dominating parts of the Gulf Coast, particularly in southeastern Texas and coastal Louisiana. While not associated with any tropical system, this widespread rainfall is being amplified by tropical moisture streaming northward from the Caribbean.

Looking ahead, forecasters are urging residents of coastal and island regions to remain vigilant as conditions across the Atlantic become more favorable for tropical cyclone growth. With models suggesting ongoing disturbances and a possible rise in named storms before mid-July, NOAA expects increased activity in line with earlier seasonal predictions. The situation remains dynamic, and timely updates will be essential for public safety and preparedness.

In the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center and major weather services have closely monitored several tropical systems as the Atlantic hurricane season becomes increasingly active. As of this morning, Hurricane Beryl continues to be the primary system of concern, having intensified into a major Category 4 hurricane as it tracked westward over the central Atlantic. According to the National Hurricane Center, Beryl is bringing sustained winds exceeding 130 mph and is currently projected to approach the Lesser Antilles within the next 48 hours. A hurricane watch is now in effect for Barbados, Dominica, and St. Lucia, with heavy rainfall, storm surge, and damaging winds expected to impact these islands beginning late Sunday into Monday.

The NOAA has issued guidance for residents across the eastern Caribbean to monitor updates closely and complete storm preparations immediately. Storm surge estimates range from three to five feet for low-lying coastal areas, and rainfall of up to 6 inches may cause localized flooding. The system is forecast to maintain strength as it moves west-northwest through the Caribbean early next week, with potential impacts for larger islands including Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and possibly Jamaica by midweek, depending on the forecast track.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic, a secondary disturbance located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is showing signs of gradual development. The system has a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression over the next five days as it advances west across warm waters favorable for storm formation. While not an immediate threat, the system is being watched closely in case it strengthens in the central Atlantic corridor.

In the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, no new systems are expected to form in the next 48 hours, but forecasters remain alert as conditions remain conducive for activity. Meanwhile, in the eastern Pacific, a weakening tropical depression has dissipated with no further impact expected for western Mexico or surrounding coastal communities.

Looking ahead, eyes remain on Hurricane Beryl as it moves closer to land. Emergency preparedness teams in the Caribbean have begun activating response protocols, and air travel may see disruptions across the Lesser Antilles starting Sunday night. Continued strengthening is still possible over the weekend, and longer-range models suggest a possible approach to the Yucatan Peninsula later in the week. The National Hurricane Center urges coastal residents to stay informed through official forecast updates and heed all local warnings as the situation evolves.

In the past 24 hours, weather agencies including NOAA and the National Hurricane Center have issued several updates on tropical activity in the Atlantic and Pacific basins. As of the latest advisories, the Atlantic remains relatively quiet with no tropical cyclones currently active, but forecasters are closely monitoring a developing low-pressure system east of the Lesser Antilles. According to the National Hurricane Center, this system is showing signs of organization and could develop into a tropical depression by the weekend as it moves west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph. Although it's too early to determine its specific path or potential strength, residents in the Eastern Caribbean are advised to monitor forecasts and prepare for increased rain and gusty winds later in the week.

In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Aletta formed briefly off the coast of southwestern Mexico but has since dissipated without causing significant impact. However, the remnants of the system are expected to produce scattered thunderstorms and rough surf along parts of the Mexican coastline. No coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect, but localized flooding in low-lying regions remains a concern through Wednesday, especially in parts of Oaxaca and Guerrero.

Elsewhere, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has highlighted above-average sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic’s main development region, a factor that could support tropical cyclone formation in the coming weeks. Experts at AccuWeather have noted that while the season’s first few storms have been relatively weak, the building conditions could lead to a more active late summer and early fall. Weather.com meteorologists added that several African tropical waves, currently over the continent, are expected to move into the Atlantic by next week and could be worth watching for development.

In the United States, coastal regions from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas are experiencing typical July weather patterns, including scattered thunderstorms and high humidity. There are no hurricane warnings in effect, but rip current advisories are posted along parts of Florida’s east coast due to distant swells from the Atlantic.

Looking ahead, meteorologists are monitoring a set of atmospheric disturbances that may begin to organize over the western Atlantic later this week. While no immediate threats have been identified, both NOAA and the National Hurricane Center emphasize the importance of early preparation as the peak of hurricane season approaches in August and September. Continued vigilance and frequent forecast updates will be vital for those living along the coast.

Over the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have issued updated advisories regarding several tropical systems currently active in the Atlantic basin. According to the latest bulletins, the most significant development centers around Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. As of the latest NHC advisory, Alberto is located in the western Gulf of Mexico and steadily tracking west-northwest, with sustained winds near 45 mph. The system is forecast to approach the northeastern Mexican coast late Thursday night into Friday morning. While not expected to achieve hurricane strength before landfall, Alberto is producing widespread heavy rainfall across southeastern Texas and northeast Mexico. Flash flood watches are in effect from Corpus Christi to Brownsville, and authorities have urged residents to monitor local updates for possible emergency declarations.

In addition to Alberto, meteorologists continue to monitor a broad area of low pressure a few hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles. This disturbance, designated as Invest 92L, is showing signs of increased organization. The NHC reports a 60 percent chance of tropical development over the next 48 hours. If it consolidates further, it may become the season’s second named storm. Residents in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have been advised to prepare for increased rainfall and gusty conditions beginning late Friday as the system approaches from the southeast.

Satellite imagery and modeling from NOAA suggest that although the current systems are not expected to reach major hurricane status, warm Atlantic sea-surface temperatures and favorable upper-level winds continue to support active development in the coming weeks. The Weather Channel emphasized that early-season storms like Alberto often signal more robust activity ahead, especially as peak hurricane season approaches in August and September.

Along the southeastern U.S. coast, NOAA also warned of high surf and dangerous rip currents from Florida to the Carolinas, driven by long-period swells generated by distant storm activity. Coastal communities are advised to remain cautious despite clear skies, particularly over the coming weekend.

Looking ahead, forecasters are closely watching conditions in the central tropical Atlantic, where additional easterly waves are expected to emerge off the African coast, potentially seeding future development. Meteorologists will also release updated seasonal forecasts in early July, offering further insights into what is anticipated to be an above-average hurricane season in 2024.

In the past 24 hours, hurricane activity in the Atlantic has shown moderate developments, with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) monitoring two active systems. A tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has recently been upgraded to a tropical depression. According to the NHC's 2 p.m. advisory, the system, currently labeled as Tropical Depression Two, is moving west-northwest at about 13 mph, and while upper-level winds are only marginally favorable for strengthening, further development into a tropical storm is possible over the next couple of days. Should the system reach tropical storm strength, it would be designated Beryl, becoming the second named storm of the 2024 Atlantic season.

Meanwhile, the Gulf of Mexico remains relatively quiet, with no immediate threats reported by NOAA, though long-range models hint at possible convection development near the Yucatán Peninsula toward the end of the week. Meteorologists are emphasizing the need for residents along the Gulf Coast to monitor updates closely, as conditions could shift rapidly.

Along the U.S. East Coast, forecasters are tracking an area of low pressure off the Carolinas. While the system currently has only a 20 percent chance of development over the next 48 hours, it is producing increased showers and thunderstorms near the coast. Local National Weather Service offices from Wilmington to Charleston are warning of minor coastal flooding during high tides and the potential for dangerous rip currents through Thursday. These alerts come amid tropical moisture being funneled northward, which may bring isolated flash flooding in low-lying areas.

Out in the Pacific, Hurricane Aletta continues moving westward, though it poses no threat to land. The Category 1 storm, according to NOAA's Central Pacific Hurricane Center, is expected to weaken over the cooler waters of the open ocean in the next 24 to 48 hours. Despite remaining offshore, interests along Baja California are advised to monitor heavy surf conditions and potential marine advisories.

Looking Ahead

Forecasters are closely watching a developing tropical wave expected to emerge off the coast of West Africa by this weekend, potentially setting the stage for increased Atlantic activity moving into July.

In the past 24 hours, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) have closely monitored several active tropical systems, with most attention focused on a strengthening disturbance in the Atlantic. As of the latest advisory, a broad area of low pressure located midway between the western coast of Africa and the Windward Islands has shown signs of gradual development. The NHC gives this system a 70 percent chance of forming into a tropical depression within the next two to three days. Movement is currently west-northwest at about 15 mph, and forecast models suggest this system could approach the Leeward Islands within the next five days, potentially bringing heavy rainfall and gusty winds.

Meanwhile, a separate disturbance located in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is stirring concern among coastal communities in Mexico and south Texas. Though currently disorganized, warm sea surface temperatures and minimal wind shear are creating favorable conditions for development. NOAA meteorologists indicate this system could bring localized flooding to coastal plains by the weekend, particularly in areas already saturated from prior rains. The probability of cyclone formation within 48 hours remains at 40 percent, but that figure is likely to rise if convective activity persists.

As of this morning, there are no active hurricanes in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific basins. However, NOAA has issued several marine warnings, particularly near the Caribbean Sea and southern Gulf of Mexico, due to high swells and increasing wave activity. Mariners are advised to remain alert, and small craft advisories are in effect for portions of the Windward Passage and the Yucatán Channel.

National Weather Service alerts also include severe thunderstorms forecasted for parts of the southeastern United States, from coastal South Carolina down to northern Florida. These systems are not directly tied to any tropical disturbances but could generate brief tornadoes and localized flash flooding. Residents along the Georgia and Florida coastlines are urged to stay updated through local NWS channels.

Looking ahead, forecasters are watching another tropical wave expected to emerge off the coast of West Africa in the next 48 hours. Long-range model guidance suggests this wave may follow a similar path across the central Atlantic into early next week. While still too early to determine its potential impact, the wave’s early organization raises concern as the peak of hurricane season approaches. Regular updates from the National Hurricane Center and NOAA will remain essential in the coming days.

As of the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and NOAA have reported several notable developments in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins, prompting vigilance across multiple coastal regions. Currently, the Atlantic hurricane season remains active, with forecasters closely monitoring Tropical Storm Edalia, which emerged late yesterday in the central Atlantic. According to the NHC’s latest advisory, Edalia is projected to strengthen slightly over the next 48 hours but is expected to remain over open waters, posing minimal threat to land at this time. The storm is moving northwest at approximately 12 mph with sustained winds nearing 50 mph.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Pacific, newly formed Hurricane Javier has intensified rapidly over warm ocean waters near southwest Mexico. As of Tuesday morning, Javier has reached Category 1 status with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. Forecast models predict a west-northwest trajectory, keeping the core of the storm offshore. However, rainfall associated with the outer bands may cause localized flooding in parts of coastal states such as Colima, Michoacán, and Jalisco through late Wednesday. NOAA has issued marine warnings advising small craft advisories due to elevated surf and strong rip currents.

Elsewhere, a tropical disturbance near the Lesser Antilles is drawing attention. System 92L remains disorganized, with a broad area of showers and thunderstorms. The NHC has given it a low chance of development over the next five days as it moves westward into the Caribbean Sea. Despite its disorganization, the system could bring intermittent heavy rains and gusty winds to Barbados, St. Lucia, and surrounding islands by midweek.

Meteorologists from The Weather Channel and AccuWeather are noting unusually high sea surface temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico and the western Atlantic, which continue to fuel the potential for rapid storm intensification. This pattern raises concerns for coastal communities stretching from the southeastern United States to the Yucatán Peninsula, particularly as the peak of hurricane season nears in September.

Looking ahead, forecasters are monitoring another tropical wave off the coast of West Africa. Early models suggest favorable conditions for development as it approaches the central Atlantic by the weekend. While no immediate impacts are projected, residents in hurricane-prone areas are urged to stay informed. In the coming days, NOAA plans to increase reconnaissance missions to better assess storm development and trajectories as the Atlantic hurricane season enters a more active phase.

As of the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center and NOAA have issued several important updates regarding tropical activity across the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins. Now deep into the Atlantic hurricane season, forecasters are closely monitoring a few systems that may influence weather patterns along the U.S. coastline and in parts of the Caribbean.

Foremost is Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2024 Atlantic season, which formed in the southwest Gulf of Mexico. As of early morning updates from the National Hurricane Center, Alberto has sustained winds near 45 mph and is moving west-northwest at around 9 mph. The storm is expected to make landfall along the eastern Mexican coastline by late Thursday or early Friday. While not projected to become a hurricane, Alberto is bringing significant moisture and widespread rainfall across northeastern Mexico and southern Texas. The NHC warns of flash flooding and mudslides in parts of Mexico, while coastal Texas may experience localized flooding, heavy surf, and rip currents.

Meanwhile, a second area of disturbed weather located approximately 800 miles east of the Windward Islands is being monitored for potential development. Forecasters currently give this system a 30 percent chance of formation over the next seven days. The disturbance is moving westward across the central Atlantic and could bring unsettled weather to parts of the Lesser Antilles early next week if development trends continue. At this time, there are no watches or warnings issued in connection with this system, but NOAA meteorologists advise residents in the Caribbean to stay alert for further updates.

In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Carlotta dissipated in the past 24 hours, ending several days of heavy coastal rainfall along portions of Mexico’s southern shoreline. No new Pacific systems are currently under observation, according to NOAA’s tropical outlook.

In terms of coastal impacts, the NOAA Coastal Warning Display Program has noted elevated wave heights and above-average tides expected in southeastern parts of Louisiana and along the Florida Panhandle, mainly associated with swells produced by Alberto. Mariners and beachgoers are urged to exercise caution through the weekend.

Looking ahead, the National Hurricane Center is maintaining a close watch on Saharan dust levels across the Atlantic, which tend to inhibit cyclone formation. However, with sea surface temperatures warmer than average for mid-June, conditions remain ripe for new development. NOAA and major weather outlets will continue to provide regular updates as the season progresses and as the next potential disturbances emerge.
