Tropical Weather Update - October 3, 2025
There are couple of spots near the Gulf that have a small chance for development. First, the NHC has highlighted some lingering storms over Florida as having about a 10% chance to become a depression or storm. There is a jet stream disturbance that has sparked rain south of New Orleans. Chances look low for an organized tropical system, but it's not impossible. We'll look for some scattered showers locally tied in with that system by Monday. Elsewhere in the distant Atlantic, there will likely be a depression or storm forming next week, but it's thousands of miles away and the long-term path is uncertain. The next two names on the list for tropical systems are Jerry and Karen.
