Hurricane Season 2026

Google scientists have led the effort to build a better hurricane prediction model using artificial intelligence.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three areas of disturbed weather across the Atlantic basin, but none pose a direct threat to Florida.

The National Hurricane Center has upgraded the chances of formation for one of two tropical waves off the coast of Africa. And late Sunday a third system was added to the mix, although it formed off the eastern U.S. seaboard in the Western Subtropical Atlantic.

Two tropical waves around the coast of Africa are being watched.

An area of low pressure could develop near Florida within the next 7 days. Could it impact Florida?

Storm forecasters have further downgraded predictions a little more than a month into the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, which has so far produced a single named tropical system.

The special needs shelter is at the South Florida State College DeSoto Campus in Arcadia.

Chances of a short-lived tropical storm forming have increased for a trough of low pressure over northeastern Mexico that is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

A lower-category storm can still be deadly, and the kind of danger a hurricane brings often depends on which part of the state is in its path.

Local experts say that with an increase in tropical disturbances, and as the area progresses into a new hurricane season every year, mangroves have little time to recover, and therefore, lack strength to guard our coastlines from inclement weather.
