Tropical Weather Update - September 20, 2025
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Gabrielle, located over the central subtropical Atlantic. Gabrielle should become a hurricane within the next 24 hours. A tropical wave over the eastern Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. While development is unlikely during the next couple of days, environmental conditions should gradually become more favorable for development of this disturbance by the middle to latter part of next week.

Tropical Weather Forecast - September 19, 2025
Gabrielle remains fairly weak and disorganized today, but could get stronger by the end of the weekend through Monday. It is forecast to become a hurricane Sunday into Monday as it gets closer to Bermuda. It is not a threat to the United States and only poses a slight risk for Bermuda as it passes east early next week. We have only had one hurricane this season so far. Other than Tropical Storm Gabrielle, there will be a couple of tropical waves that could develop in the Atlantic through the end of the month, but our computer models are not showing much to worry about.

Tropical Weather Update - Tropical Storm Gabrielle forms in the Atlantic
A large, but previously poorly organized tropical wave was upgraded to Tropical Depression 7 early this morning and Tropical Storm Gabrielle by late morning. This ended a rare nearly three week stretch from late August to mid-September of no tropical activity in the Atlantic basin. The forecast track shows it is most likely going to stay away from the U.S. East Coast. But it will likely pose some sort of risk to Bermuda, so keep checking back.

Tropical weather update: Tropical Storm Gabrielle is likely to form soon in Atlantic
Showers and thunderstorms associated INVEST 92L located about midway between the Windward Islands and the Cabo Verde Islands have become better organized since yesterday. Environmental conditions are conducive for additional development, and Tropical Storm Gabrielle is likely to form in the next day or two as the system moves west-northwestward or northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.

Tropical weather forecast: Watching high chance of development in Atlantic
A broad area of low pressure has formed roughly midway between the Windward Islands and the coast of west Africa. This system has become better organized since yesterday and is expected to move through a favorable environment for further development. A tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form by the middle to latter part of this week as the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.

Tropical Weather Update - September 14, 2025
A tropical wave over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although dry and stable air is expected to limit development during the next day or so, gradual development is anticipated thereafter, and a tropical cyclone is likely to form during the middle part of this week as the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Watching for new development in Far Eastern Atlantic
The tropics are still remarkably quiet for mid-September, the typical peak of hurricane season. However, there is a pretty impressive tropical wave moving off the west coast of Africa today that models are really latching on to. There is a good chance that it will eventually become a tropical storm, or even a hurricane over the next 5-7 days. The system is thousands of miles from the Gulf, so no concern at this time. The next name on the list is Gabrielle.

Tropical Weather Forecast - September 10, 2025
Over the last 170 years of data, today, September 10th is the average peak of hurricane season. So, on average, today is the day with the highest likelihood for tropical storms and hurricanes. This year, however, conditions are very quiet in the Atlantic with no named storms or hurricanes for now. As of today, the national hurricane center is monitoring a new tropical wave coming off of the West Coast of Africa. It currently has a low chance for tropical development as it moves towards the west.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Continuing to monitor the Pacific for tropical development
In the Atlantic, conditions remain unusually calm with no significant tropical waves and models that don't show much happening over the next week. A tropical storm named Kiko will pass well north of Hawaii today and the main threats will be large waves and rip currents. In the Eastern Pacific, models are showing a high chance for another tropical system to develop off of the Southwestern coast of Mexico late this week into the weekend.

Tropical Weather Forecast - All quiet in Atlantic, watching for Pacific storm development
The tropics remain very quiet, but a weak area of low pressure is bringing more rain to Florida today. It's not expected to affect Texas. The tropical disturbance we were watching last week, Invest 91L, fizzled as it moved into the Caribbean running into very dry air. Even though the Atlantic basin is very quiet right now, keep in mind that the peak of hurricane season is just a few days away. So review your hurricane safety preparedness and always stay alert.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Invest 91L in the Atlantic expected to move westward
The tropical wave (Invest 91L) over the central Atlantic is producing a small area of shower activity. Environmental conditions are only marginally conducive for development, and the chances of this system becoming a tropical depression continue to diminish. The wave is expected to move generally westward at 10 to 15 mph, and will likely be near the Lesser Antilles by the middle part of next week.

Hawaii turns watchful eye to Hurricane Kiko as storm returns to Category 4 strength
While the islands are in the five-day forecast cone, meteorologists said that Kiko will be a completely different storm by the time it approaches Hawaii early next week.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Closely monitoring Invest 91L in Atlantic
A tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic, now Invest 91L, still has a high chance for development over the next week. In the short-term, it's encountering dry air which is limiting showers and storms. It is still expected to become a tropical depression and possibly Tropical Storm Gabrielle by next week, but it's very far away and not a threat to Texas at this time. It could become a threat to the Lesser Antilles by the middle of next week. Download FOX Local for the latest tropical updates.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Watching Lorena and Invest 91L
In the tropics, Lorena in the eastern Pacific Ocean has weakened today to a tropical storm near the Baja California Peninsula. It's starting to spread clouds and some heavy downpours into an area from Tucson, AZ to El Paso. This system will not have a big, direct impact on Houston, but will probably play a role in increasing our chance for showers and storms on Sunday.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Watching Hurricane Lorena, other possible storm development
A hurricane named Lorena is bringing wind and rain to Cabo San Lucas and the Baja California peninsula and could eventually bring a shot of rain to the Southwest. A long stretch of land from far southern California through southern Arizona, New Mexico and Texas could get a shot of rain from the storm's remnants this weekend. For now, the forecast is not certain, but locally, we expect increasing rain Sunday and Monday. In the Atlantic, the next tropical storm could form this week very far from Texas in the middle of the ocean and we'll monitor it for any surprises. But it doesn't look like a threat for now.
