The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has been one for the record books, but not in the way you may think. As of today, the season has seen six systems.

Low pressure several hundred miles southwest of the Azores shows increasing organization

Trough about 800 miles east-southeast of Bermuda producing disorganized showers

Conditions expected to become more favorable for development by midweek

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring one disturbance in the central subtropical Atlantic, located more than 1,000 miles east-southeast of Bermuda.

A trough of low pressure located in the central Subtropical Atlantic is associated with a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

We are officially at what is considered the peak of hurricane season, but the Atlantic Basin has remained relatively quiet so far this year. But a quiet Atlantic can change quickly when the atmosphere finally provides a favorable window for development.

Rainfall of 5 to 10 inches possible with isolated totals up to 20 inches inland

Patchy to dense fog possible late tonight and early Wednesday

The National Hurricane Center has started to initiate advisories on Tropical Depression Five (formerly Invest 97) in the northwestern Gulf.

The National Hurricane Center has started to initiate advisories on Tropical Depression Five (formerly Invest 97) in the northwestern Gulf.

We’re watching two areas in the tropics this morning, but neither brings a direct tropical threat to Northeast Florida or Southeast Georgia today. In the northern Gulf, Invest AL97 is becoming better organized south of Louisiana. Gradual development is expected as it moves west-northwest, and a short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm could form before moving toward the Upper Texas or southwest Louisiana coast Tuesday or Tuesday night. Closer to the Atlantic side, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly remain a strong tropical wave producing showers and storms from Puerto Rico eastward across the Virgin Islands and northern Leeward Islands. By midweek, conditions may become a little more favorable as the system approaches the Gulf.

Two areas have limited potential for development

Two new disturbances have developed near the Gulf of America and the Caribbean from Dolly remnants.

Two new spots have limited potential for development

Tropical Storm Dolly continues to race westward across the central tropical Atlantic, but increasingly hostile conditions should prevent the system from strengthening significantly. No coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect, although residents throughout the Leeward Islands are encouraged to monitor the system. Heavy rainfall could reach portions of the Leeward Islands late Saturday into Sunday before spreading toward the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola Sunday into Monday. Dolly is the fourth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. The News4JAX Weather Authority will continue tracking Dolly and any additional tropical activity across the Atlantic.

The National Hurricane Center said it will start issuing advisories on the newly named Tropical Storm Dolly at 11 a.m. Thursday.

Two systems in the Atlantic are being monitored for tropical development.

Aside from Tropical Storm Arthur and Tropical Storm Bertha, we have not seen additional formation in the Atlantic so far this hurricane season. How does this compare to average and what does the forecast show for the rest of the season?

Bertha expected to dissipate by early Friday

Tropical Depression Two is slowly moving across the Gulf. As of 8:00 a.m. As of 11 a.m. Monday, the center of Tropical Depression Two was about 120 miles south of Panama City, Florida.

Tropical Depression Two is slowly moving across the Gulf. As of 8:00 a.m. As of 11 a.m. Monday, the center of Tropical Depression Two was about 120 miles south of Panama City, Florida.

Tropical Depression Two developed this morning in the Gulf. As of 2:00 p.m. Sunday, the center of Tropical Depression Two was about 170 miles south-southeast of Panama City, Florida.

A disorganized weather system over the eastern Gulf is worth keeping an eye on — and if you live along Florida’s west coast or in the Panhandle, it’s worth keeping a close eye.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two separate areas of tropical activity — one in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean and another closer to home in the Gulf — but neither is expected to pose a significant threat in the near term.

There’s a low-level tropical threat worth keeping an eye on — though it’s nothing to lose sleep over right now.

Per the National Hurricane Center on Saturday, a low pressure area is expected to move offshore of the southeastern coast of the United States along the western end of a frontal system early next week.

It’s about this time every year that we look for Saharan dust to make its several thousand-mile trip across the Atlantic.

Life-threatening flooding is expected across portions of the Southeastern United States from Tropical Storm Arthur, which formed Wednesday morning near the middle Texas coast.

Thunderstorms bring downpours, gusty wind and lightning to the region

We continue to monitor an area of low pressure across Texas. As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center has designated this disturbance as Potential Tropical Cyclone 1.

Forecasters warn of possible tropical storm formation in the Gulf

There’s a lot going on across the Gulf of Mexico right now, and conditions are expected to stay unsettled through much of the week.

A disorganized area of low pressure is sitting in the Bay of Campeche — the southern pocket of the Gulf of Mexico, nestled between Mexico’s eastern coastline and the Yucatán Peninsula. This system is fueling a large cluster of heavy rain and thunderstorms, mainly in the southern and western Gulf.

Afternoon storms bring much-needed relief to drought-stricken areas

Storms bring temporary relief as heat and humidity are set to surge

You may have noticed that the eastern Pacific Ocean is very active right now with tropical activity. In fact, one named storm and one tropical depression has already developed and it’s only the beginning of June. One other area is being monitored for potential development as well.

It certainly feels like summer across the area due to the higher humidity and the storms. This is due to a combination of several atmospheric features near our region.

After leaving a trail of destruction across Jamaica, eastern Cuba, and much of the Bahamas, Hurricane Melissa is now accelerating toward the northeast.

Hurricane Melissa made landfall in eastern Cuba near the city of Chivirico early Wednesday as a Category 3 storm after striking Jamaica on Tuesday as the strongest Category 5 to ever hit the island.

As Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on Tuesday, people with family on the island grew increasingly worried.

The storm’s core is forecast to pass over Jamaica today, cross southeastern Cuba Wednesday morning, and move across the southeastern or central Bahamas later Wednesday.

The National Hurricane Center expects Melissa to intensify further today before fluctuating in strength as it approaches Jamaica.

Melissa is expected to move near or over Jamaica through Tuesday, then across southeastern Cuba Tuesday night, and the southeastern Bahamas on Wednesday.

High Rip Current risk continues through weekend

Melissa’s path is projected to move near or over Jamaica during the weekend and early next week.

Melissa is expected to reach hurricane strength by Saturday and become a major hurricane by the end of the weekend.

Tropical Storm Melissa continued to crawl through the Caribbean on Thursday.

Tropical Storm Melissa continued to crawl through the Caribbean on Wednesday. The system’s motion will remain very slow through next week.

As of the 11 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center, the center of the newly formed Melissa was located about 300 miles south of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.

With just over one month left to go with hurricane season, the tropics remain active. We are currently monitoring a tropical wave which has a high (80%) chance for development.

A tropical wave (Invest AL98) is making its way toward the Caribbean, bringing along gusty winds and plenty of rainfall.

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.

As the Atlantic hurricane season enters its final weeks, forecasters are keeping a close eye on two developing systems—one in the tropical Atlantic heading toward the Caribbean, and another in the North Atlantic that’s gaining some tropical characteristics.
