It now costs more to park at Beaches Town Center in Atlantic and Neptune Beach.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season started with forecasts calling for an “above-normal” year, thanks to warm Atlantic waters and atmospheric patterns that usually fuel tropical development. But instead of producing a huge number of storms, the season became known for something far more dramatic: incredible intensity.

Typhoon Kalmaegi has killed at least 114 people in the Philippines and left even more people missing as it moved on to slam Vietnam.

An analysis from World Weather Attribution reports human-caused climate change intensified the winds and rainfall unleashed by Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean.

A driver has rammed his car into pedestrians and cyclists on the holiday island of Ile d’Oléron, off the west coast of France, leaving at least two people in a critical condition and three others injured.

Hurricane Melissa made landfall Tuesday afternoon in southwestern Jamaica near New Hope with estimated maximum sustained winds of 185 mph.

Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm due to warming oceans linked to climate change.

A tropical wave located about 900 miles east of the Windward Islands in the central tropical Atlantic is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has been full of surprises, defying some expectations while confirming others.

Dry air limits storm development in Atlantic

Tropical Storm Raymond has formed in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

In the tropical Atlantic, Tropical Storm Jerry has recently formed and is being tracked closely by the National Hurricane Center.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Jerry has strengthened in the Atlantic Ocean on a path toward the Caribbean.

Atlantic disturbance shows potential for development

The Atlantic basin is staying active as we move deeper into October, with two disturbances being monitored alongside Hurricane Imelda, which continues to churn across the open Atlantic.

Tropical wave expected to interact with eastern Atlantic disturbance

News4JAX meteorologist Katie Garner details high rip currents and waves from Hurricane Imelda, plus upcoming rain chances in Jacksonville and the coast.

Six unoccupied houses along North Carolina’s Outer Banks have collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean.

Although the storm will remain far from land, its effects will be felt strongly along the coast, bringing dangerous surf, strong winds, and a high risk of rip currents.

Crews have been preparing for a weather system forecast to hit South Carolina as a hurricane early next week.

Waves are rolling in from the Atlantic as Humberto and another disturbance get closer to Florida and Georgia.

Jacksonville prepares as Atlantic storms Hurricane Gabrielle, Tropical Storm Humberto, and a new disturbance are monitored. Expect rising temperatures and possible coastal impacts.

Tropical Storm Humberto officially formed on Wednesday in the central Atlantic, becoming the eighth named storm of this year’s hurricane season.

Hurricane models continue to show the development of two systems near the northern Caribbean and the Bahamas.

Northeast winds to strengthen by the weekend

Tropical Depression likely to develop by next week

A tropical wave over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

Surf hazards, tidal flooding remain

A tropical wave located between the west coast of Africa and the Cabo Verde Islands is producing limited shower and thunderstorm activity over the far eastern Atlantic.

Let's discuss!

Peak of the season and one wave to watch

It could emerge off the Coast of Africa

Mid-September is traditionally the statistical high point of the Atlantic hurricane season, but right now the tropics are uncharacteristically quiet.

Shower and thunderstorm activity remains limited in association with a tropical wave over the central tropical Atlantic.

Conditions are getting more favorable: warm sea, low shear, and a supportive atmosphere.

Tropical models are all over the Atlantic and Caribbean

A tropical wave emerging off the coast of Africa, just south of the Cabo Verde Islands, is beginning to show signs of organization.

Watching the Tropics

As the first week of September nears, the tropics are continuing to show they exist.

Erin’s cold wake was unmistakable. Sea surface temperatures dropped several degrees along its path, a cooling signature visible from space. Any storm following closely behind Erin would have found itself robbed of fuel.

Weekend forecast

Tropical Storm Fernand is strengthening over open Atlantic waters as it churns well east of Bermuda.

Hurricane Erin brings life-threatening rip currents and high surf along the East Coast, with evacuations in the Outer Banks. News4JAX's meteorologist tracks Erin, rising water rescues, and two additional systems brewing in the Atlantic.

Hurricane Erin is churning slowly toward the eastern U.S. coast and stirring up waves that already have forced dozens of beach rescues.

Forecasters say Erin has exploded into a major hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean just north of the Caribbean.

Remainder of tonight: locally heavy downpours, gusty wind and frequent lightning will be possible with stronger storms.

Jacksonville faces another round of hot weather while Tropical Storm Erin develops in the Atlantic. The latest forecasts from News4JAX’s The Weather Authority indicate Erin is likely to stay east of Florida, with daytime highs remaining in the mid-90s and minimal rain chances this week.

Tropical storm Erin expected to be a major hurricane north of Puerto Rico this weekend.

There are two updates from the National Hurricane Center on Saturday morning.

Showers and storms have been mostly absent around Jacksonville this evening.

While there are only two spots the National Hurricane Center is currently watching, the tropical Atlantic continues to fuel hotspots.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday that atmospheric and oceanic conditions continue to favor an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season this year.

Jacksonville faces continued rain and flooding risk this week, with strong storms, active flood advisories, and tropical systems monitored in the Atlantic, according to News4JAX’s meteorologist Mark Collins.

Tropical Storm Dexter formed on Sunday, but it’s expected to move away from the U.S. coast and stay north of Bermuda, so there is no threat from that storm.

Sunday morning, the National Hurricane Center identified two areas of concern:

Seasonal temperatures with rain this weekend

The Kennebec River in Maine's capital city of Augusta is known for its population of Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon.

The Florida Highway Patrol was on the scene of a crash at the intersection of Atlantic Blvd. and I-95.

Wednesday Wednesday

Friday marks the first day of the two-day red snapper season in the Atlantic. News4JAX spent the day on the water with members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation and the American Sportfishing Association (ASA).

With $10,000 at stake and no boundaries along the Atlantic, anglers have a better shot at landing the biggest red snapper in Mayport's expanded tournament.

The latest update from the National Hurricane Center shows an area of low pressure could develop along a weakening frontal boundary near Florida or the Atlantic coast of the southeastern United States by this weekend.

The tropical Atlantic is heating up again and the forecast calls for an active hurricane season. These hurricanes could be more intense than usual. One key reason is the dramatic warming in the Arctic.
