Hurricane Tracker - United States

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and NOAA have issued several important updates in the past 24 hours regarding tropical activity in both the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins as forecasters closely monitor developing systems amid an increasingly active early summer season. As of the latest advisories, no major hurricanes are currently threatening U.S. coastlines, but meteorologists remain alert to a series of disturbances with potential implications for coastal communities in the coming days.

In the Atlantic, a low-pressure system has formed roughly 300 miles east of the Windward Islands. According to the NHC, this disturbance is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms as it moves west-northwest at about 15 mph. Environmental conditions are marginally conducive for gradual development, and the system has a 30 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next 48 hours. While not yet posing immediate danger, residents of the Lesser Antilles are advised to monitor local weather updates as this system could bring heavy rains and gusty winds later this week.

Meanwhile, the Gulf of Mexico remains relatively quiet at this time, although NOAA forecasters did note an area of increased convection near the Bay of Campeche. While no tropical development is expected within the next two days, forecasters acknowledged the potential for slow development if the disturbance lingers and conditions become more favorable towards the weekend.

Turning to the Eastern Pacific, NOAA is tracking a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles south of the southern coast of Mexico. Enhanced satellite imagery reveals growing thunderstorm activity, and the NHC gives the system a 60 percent chance of formation over the next five days. Should development continue, it could become the first named storm of the Eastern Pacific season, possibly impacting parts of southern Mexico with rough surf and heavy rainfall by early next week.

Along the U.S. East Coast, a stalled frontal system near the Carolinas is generating periods of heavy rain and localized flooding. This weather pattern is not associated with tropical activity, but it has disrupted coastal conditions and continues to be monitored by the Weather Prediction Center for any signs of development.

Looking ahead, forecasters urge coastal residents to stay informed during what experts are predicting could be an unusually active hurricane season. NOAA’s seasonal outlook, released earlier this month, warns of above-average storm activity fueled by historically warm Atlantic waters and a developing La Niña pattern. While no immediate landfalls are forecast, conditions remain favorable for rapid changes. The NHC will provide ongoing updates as new data becomes available.

As of the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center and other major weather sources have indicated a notable uptick in tropical activity in the Atlantic basin, signaling an early but active start to the hurricane season. At the center of current attention is Tropical Storm Alberto, which formed over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico late yesterday and is now moving northwestward toward the western Gulf Coast. According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm is producing heavy rains and gusty winds along Mexico’s eastern coastline and parts of southern Texas. Although Alberto is not expected to reach hurricane strength, the storm is forecast to bring flash flooding and localized coastal surge, particularly in low-lying regions along the Texas Gulf Coast, including the Corpus Christi and Brownsville areas.

NOAA has issued Tropical Storm Warnings for parts of northeastern Mexico and South Texas, with flooding rains potentially reaching 5 to 10 inches in isolated areas. The Weather Prediction Center is cautioning residents in those regions to monitor rapidly changing conditions and prepare for urban flash flooding and possible power outages due to wind gusts. Rain bands associated with the storm have already begun sweeping inland, making driving hazardous and prompting localized road closures.

Beyond Alberto, the Atlantic remains active with another disturbance designated as Invest 92L, located east of the Windward Islands. This system is tracking west-northwest and has been given a medium chance of development over the next five days. While no imminent threat is posed to the U.S. mainland, forecasters are watching closely for any signs of strengthening as it approaches the Caribbean. Environmental conditions ahead of this system are expected to become more favorable, allowing for potential cyclonic organization later in the week.

Meanwhile in the Pacific, Hurricane Carlotta continues to drift away from the coast of Mexico. The hurricane reached Category 1 strength yesterday but is weakening as it moves into cooler waters. The system is no longer a threat to land but has produced larger-than-normal swells along portions of Mexico’s coast, prompting local advisories for rip currents.

Looking Ahead, the National Hurricane Center is closely monitoring a broad area of low pressure that may form near the southeastern U.S. coast over the weekend. While current model guidance varies, some potential exists for cyclonic development early next week. Residents along the Gulf and East Coasts are advised to stay informed through the weekend due to rapidly changing forecasts. With the season’s first named storm already active, early preparedness efforts are encouraged across all hurricane-prone regions.

Over the past 24 hours, the Atlantic hurricane season remains relatively quiet, but forecasters are closely monitoring a developing system in the central tropical Atlantic. According to the National Hurricane Center's (NHC) latest update, a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected to become gradually more favorable for development, and a tropical depression could form by early next week as the system moves westward at 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic. The NHC currently gives the disturbance a 40 percent chance of development within the next seven days.

Meanwhile, in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, no active tropical cyclones have been reported. However, forecasters caution that increasing sea surface temperatures and favorable wind patterns could support storm development in these regions as the season progresses. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center recently reiterated its forecast for an above-normal season, with 17 to 25 named storms projected, including up to 13 hurricanes and four to seven major hurricanes.

In related weather updates, Florida's Gulf Coast continues to deal with a persistent moisture plume bringing widespread showers and localized flooding. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued flood advisories for several low-lying areas, especially in coastal counties from Tampa down to Naples. Though not connected to any tropical system, the heavy rainfall is complicating travel and raising concerns for communities still rebuilding resilience after recent storms.

Out in the Pacific, Hurricane Aletta dissipated as it moved westward over cooler waters and less favorable atmospheric conditions. It posed no threat to land and has been downgraded to a remnant low. Meanwhile, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center notes no new storms forming today but maintains elevated watchfulness as July typically signals an uptick in activity.

Looking Ahead, meteorologists are turning their attention to a low-latitude wave expected to exit the western coast of Africa by the weekend. Early model guidance suggests the potential for gradual development as it moves into the warmer central Atlantic—an area climatologically favorable for system organization during this time of year. Coastal residents across the southeastern United States and Caribbean are advised to monitor official updates closely in the coming days, especially as the peak hurricane period approaches later this summer. The National Hurricane Center plans its next outlook early tomorrow morning.

In the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center and NOAA have issued important updates concerning active storm systems in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins. According to the latest advisories, Hurricane Beryl has formed in the Atlantic, making it the earliest major hurricane on record for the 2024 season. The storm is currently moving west-northwest across the central Atlantic with sustained winds exceeding 115 mph, placing it as a Category 3 hurricane. Satellite imagery and aircraft reconnaissance confirm rapid intensification over warm waters, driven by favorable upper-level winds and low wind shear. Beryl's projected path brings it dangerously close to the Lesser Antilles within the next 48 to 72 hours. The National Hurricane Center has issued hurricane warnings for Barbados, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, with tropical storm warnings extending to Martinique and Grenada.

Local governments have begun emergency preparations, including the opening of shelters and the suspension of ferry services. Heavy rainfall, storm surge, and damaging winds are expected along Beryl’s projected path. Coastal flooding and power outages are anticipated, with rainfall totals possibly exceeding six inches in some mountainous areas. CNN Weather and AccuWeather report that residents in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola should continue to monitor the storm closely, although the current forecast suggests Beryl may graze or pass south of those islands.

In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Carlotta remains active but disorganized. As of late Monday, it was located a few hundred miles southwest of the Baja California Peninsula. The National Hurricane Center notes that while the storm is not currently expected to intensify further, it could bring showers and elevated surf to parts of western Mexico over the next two days. No coastal warnings are currently in place, and the system is expected to weaken as it moves northwest into cooler waters.

Additionally, forecasters are monitoring a new disturbance near the Cape Verde Islands with a sixty-percent chance of development over the next five days. This wave could evolve into a tropical depression as it moves westward across the Atlantic. While no immediate threat is posed to land, meteorologists emphasize the need for close watch, given the early-season activity.

Looking Ahead, NOAA warns that conditions remain unusually favorable for storm development, emphasizing the impact of elevated sea surface temperatures. With the Atlantic hurricane season entering its first full month, communities along the Gulf Coast, the Southeast U.S., and the Caribbean are urged to review preparedness plans. Further updates from the National Hurricane Center are expected as Beryl advances westward, marking an active and potentially historic start to the 2024 season.

As of the past 24 hours, significant hurricane activity continues to build in the Atlantic as the season edges toward its climatological peak. According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), two systems are currently under close observation as they stir in the tropical Atlantic, drawing attention for potential development later this week.

The first system is a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Forecasters report that environmental conditions are becoming increasingly favorable for gradual organization. The NHC gives this disturbance a 70 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression over the next seven days. While no immediate threats to land have been identified, its projected westward trajectory could bring it closer to the Lesser Antilles by early next week. Meteorologists are advising coastal communities in the eastern Caribbean to monitor this system closely as confidence in its development grows.

A second area of interest has formed closer to the southeastern United States, roughly 200 miles off the coast of Florida. This system is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms but faces moderate wind shear that is likely to limit further intensification. While the NHC gives this system only a 20 percent chance of development, it could still bring increased rainfall to parts of Florida and the southeastern seaboard through the weekend. Local forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Miami caution residents to expect intermittent downpours and possible localized flooding, particularly in low-lying coastal areas.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Beryl, a powerful Category 3 storm that dominated headlines earlier this week, has finally dissipated into a post-tropical cyclone over the North Atlantic. Though no longer a direct threat, Beryl caused widespread disruption in parts of the eastern Caribbean late last week, including reports of power outages and minor structural damage in Barbados and St. Lucia, according to The Weather Channel.

A surge in ocean temperatures across the Atlantic basin has heightened concern among forecasters, supporting predictions for an above-average hurricane season. Forecasters at NOAA are reiterating the importance of preparedness, noting that conditions remain ripe for storm development well into October.

Looking ahead, all eyes remain on the Atlantic tropics as models hint at the possibility of another low-pressure system emerging off the West African coast by midweek. While still speculative, it reinforces the need for coastal communities to remain alert during this particularly active phase of the season.

As of the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and NOAA have issued updated advisories on two active systems in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific, signaling the onset of a more active tropical period. Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named system of the Atlantic hurricane season, is currently tracking west-northwest across the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. According to the NHC's latest advisory, Alberto is bringing widespread rain and gusty winds to parts of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas, with localized flash flooding possible in low-lying coastal areas. While maximum sustained winds remain below hurricane strength, the storm's expansive moisture field has already triggered flood alerts in portions of South Texas, particularly around Corpus Christi and Brownsville.

Forecasters expect Alberto to make landfall in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas by late Thursday evening or early Friday morning. Rainfall totals could reach up to 10 inches in isolated locations, prompting both NOAA and local emergency agencies to warn coastal residents about the risk of flash flooding and landslides. While wind and storm surge threats appear minimal at this time, the main concern remains water-related impacts, including urban flooding and overwhelmed drainage systems.

In the Eastern Pacific, a disturbance located several hundred miles south of the coast of Mexico continues to show signs of gradual development. Designated as Invest 91E by the NHC, this system has a 60 percent chance of forming into a tropical depression within the next five days. Favorable sea surface temperatures and reduced wind shear are providing a conducive environment for strengthening. Communities along the southwestern coast of Mexico, including Acapulco and Manzanillo, are being advised to monitor forecasts closely. Should the system demonstrate persistent circulation and convection, it could be upgraded to a named storm by the weekend.

Further north, remnants of a separate low-pressure system off the southeastern U.S. coast have dissipated, ending earlier concerns for tropical redevelopment. Despite this, unsettled weather along coastal Georgia and the Carolinas persists, with locally heavy showers linked to tropical moisture carried northward from the Gulf.

Looking Ahead

Meteorologists are closely monitoring wave activity off Africa's west coast, where climatologically significant storms often form in July. Additionally, with sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic continuing to run warmer than average, NOAA and the NHC urge residents along the Gulf and East Coasts to review hurricane preparedness plans early. The upcoming days will prove pivotal in assessing whether current disturbances transition into more structured storm systems.

In the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have issued updated advisories on multiple active weather systems as the Atlantic hurricane season intensifies. The most pressing development has been the intensification of Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2024 Atlantic season, which formed over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday afternoon. According to the National Hurricane Center, Alberto is tracking northwestward toward the northeastern coast of Mexico with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and tropical-storm-force winds to parts of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas.

NOAA forecasts suggest rainfall amounts of four to eight inches across coastal Texas and up to twelve inches in isolated areas along the Mexican coast. These rainfall accumulations pose a significant flash flood risk, especially in urban and low-lying areas. Coastal flood warnings and high surf advisories remain in effect across the Texas Gulf Coast, including Corpus Christi and Galveston, while flash flood watches have been issued for South Texas through Thursday. The storm is expected to make landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday, with weakening anticipated as it pushes inland.

Meanwhile, forecasters are also monitoring a second low-pressure system located in the eastern Atlantic, several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Though currently disorganized, the National Hurricane Center notes that environmental conditions could allow for gradual development over the next five to seven days as the system moves westward. While no immediate threat to land exists, long-term models suggest this area could evolve into a more structured tropical disturbance and merits close observation.

In related updates, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center continues to forecast an above-average number of storms this hurricane season, with higher-than-normal ocean temperatures and the transition from El Niño to La Niña expected to fuel atmospheric instability. Coastal communities across the Gulf and southeastern U.S. are urged to review preparedness plans and stay tuned to official advisories.

Looking Ahead, meteorologists are paying close attention to the evolution of the active tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic, which could become the next named storm if conditions remain favorable. Additionally, the remnants of Alberto may deliver significant inland rainfall across southern Texas and northern Mexico through the weekend, highlighting the continued need for vigilance as the season begins to ramp up.

As of the past 24 hours, the Atlantic hurricane season is demonstrating signs of increased activity, with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and NOAA monitoring several key systems. According to the latest updates from NOAA and the NHC, Tropical Storm Alberto continues to move inland over northeastern Mexico after making landfall early Thursday. The storm formed rapidly in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and brought bands of heavy rain, gusty winds, and elevated surf to portions of the Texas and Mexican coastlines. While the storm has weakened substantially since landfall, the residual moisture is still expected to bring heavy rainfall and localized flooding across northeastern Mexico and parts of southern Texas. The NHC warned that rainfall totals in some localized areas could exceed six inches, raising the risk of flash flooding, particularly in low-lying communities and areas with poor drainage.

At the same time, meteorologists are closely tracking a second area of weather disturbance east of the Windward Islands, identified as Invest 93L. As reported by The Weather Channel and confirmed by the NHC, this disturbance has shown signs of gradual organization. Current satellite imagery indicates a broad area of low pressure attempting to consolidate, with moderate convection occurring within the system. It has a medium, 40 percent chance of development over the next five days as it drifts westward across the Caribbean. Should it develop into a named storm, it would be designated as Tropical Storm Beryl, the second named storm of what forecasters anticipate will be an above-average hurricane season.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has issued rip current advisories and coastal flood warnings for parts of the Gulf Coast, especially near the Texas shoreline. High surf and dangerous swimming conditions remain a concern in these areas through the weekend. Minor coastal flooding has already been reported in Galveston, and residents are urged to use caution when near the water.

Looking Ahead, meteorologists are paying close attention to the tropical wave associated with Invest 93L as it moves over the Lesser Antilles this weekend. Warm sea surface temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions could support further development. Additionally, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has reaffirmed its outlook that the Atlantic basin is likely to experience an above-average number of storms this year, driven primarily by La Nina conditions and unusually warm waters. Residents along the Gulf and East Coasts are advised to remain alert as conditions can evolve rapidly in the coming weeks.

As of the past 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have issued several important updates regarding tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin, marking the early stirrings of what forecasters suggest could be an especially active hurricane season. While there are currently no named storms threatening land, meteorologists are monitoring a developing system in the far eastern Atlantic, which has begun to show signs of organization. According to the latest advisory from the NHC, a tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for gradual development, and forecasters assign this disturbance a 30 percent chance of formation over the next seven days as it moves westward across the central tropical Atlantic.

Closer to home, an area of disturbed weather in the western Caribbean Sea has also caught the attention of forecasters. Satellite imagery and surface observations suggest increased thunderstorm activity in association with this system, although strong upper-level winds are currently inhibiting significant development. The NHC has given this system a low 10 percent chance of formation as it drifts northward toward the southern Gulf of Mexico. While immediate impacts to coastal regions remain unlikely, interests along the Gulf Coast, particularly from Texas to the Florida Panhandle, are advised to stay informed as the situation evolves.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic, conditions remain relatively calm with no immediate threats to the U.S. mainland. However, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center reaffirmed its forecast earlier this week for an above-average hurricane season, citing elevated sea surface temperatures and the anticipated transition to La Niña conditions by late summer. These indicators often contribute to weaker wind shear and more favorable conditions for storm development, especially in the main development region between West Africa and the Caribbean.

Emergency managers and coastal residents are encouraged to prepare now as activity tends to ramp up sharply by August. The National Hurricane Center's director, Michael Brennan, emphasized that systems can develop quickly near coastlines, reducing lead time for preparations. Staying alert even during quiet periods is essential, he noted in a Tuesday briefing.

Looking ahead, increased tropical wave activity off the African coast is expected over the next two weeks, with long-range models hinting at stronger systems forming as early as mid-June. While none pose an immediate threat, the Atlantic is beginning to show signs of awakening, signaling the potential for more active days ahead.

As of the past 24 hours, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) continue to monitor increasing tropical activity in the Atlantic basin as the peak of hurricane season approaches. A newly designated system, Potential Tropical Cyclone One, has formed in the western Caribbean and is projected to bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds to portions of Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula. According to the NHC’s latest update, the system is expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Alberto within the next 24 hours as it moves northwestward toward the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical Storm Watches have already been issued for parts of eastern Mexico, with forecasters warning of flash flooding and mudslides, particularly in mountainous areas.

Meanwhile, a separate area of low pressure located about 900 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is showing signs of organization. The NHC estimates a 70 percent chance of cyclone development over the next five days. If it gains strength, it could become the second named storm of the season, following Alberto. While it currently poses no immediate threat to land, forecasters are urging residents of the northern Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico to stay alert to changes in its projected path.

On the U.S. mainland, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued coastal flood advisories for parts of Louisiana and Texas as moisture associated with the tropical disturbance brings increased swells and possible tidal flooding. The Weather Channel reports that local emergency officials along the Gulf Coast are preparing for potential impacts in low-lying communities, particularly as peak tides coincide with incoming rainbands.

Further east, high surf warnings and rip current advisories are in effect for portions of the southeastern and mid-Atlantic coasts. Though not related to any specific storm, these conditions are the result of prolonged easterly wind patterns and a persistent high pressure system over the Atlantic that is funneling waves toward the shoreline. Beachgoers are advised to exercise caution through midweek.

Looking ahead, forecasters are closely monitoring sea surface temperatures across the central Atlantic, which remain above average and could support rapid intensification of future systems. The NOAA is expected to release an updated seasonal hurricane outlook in the coming days. With the Atlantic hurricane season entering its most active phase, coastal residents from the Gulf Coast to the Carolinas are reminded to review emergency plans and stay tuned to updates from official sources.
