Tropical weather update - October 15, 2025
Tropical Storm Lorenzo was clinging on for survival in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. But as of the 4 PM advisory Lorenzo has fallen apart and is no longer a tropical system. Elsewhere across the Atlantic basin, it is quiet with no development expected over the next few days. Typically for the Texas Gulf coast, hurricane season ends around the middle of October, which is now. Historically, there haven't been any hurricane landfalls after the middle of October on record for the Texas Gulf coast. But the chance is not zero. So we will keep watching for any signs of development. Hurricane season runs through the end of November.
