Hurricane forecasters expect Cristobal to form. Will it head for US?

A developing system in the Atlantic could become Cristobal in the next few days. Its future track and intensity are currently uncertain.

Pacific Storm Nears Hawaii as Atlantic Tropics Show Activity

Pacific Storm Nears Hawaii as Atlantic Tropics Show Activity

The Pacific and Atlantic basins are showing significant tropical activity this week. In the Pacific, a disturbance located approximately 1,100 miles east-southeast of Hawaii has a 90% chance of developing into Tropical Storm Lala, with potential impacts on the Big Island by Friday, August 14. Meanwhile, the Atlantic basin is monitoring three separate areas of potential tropical development. The most promising system, located south of the Cabo Verde Islands, has a 60% chance of forming into a tropical depression later this week as it moves westward. El Niño conditions are influencing both basins, with increased wind shear in the Atlantic suppressing storm formation, while warmer waters in the Pacific are enhancing storm activity.

Pacific Storm Nears Hawaii as Atlantic Tropics Show Signs of Activity

Pacific Storm Nears Hawaii as Atlantic Tropics Show Signs of Activity

Meteorologists are closely monitoring tropical activity in both the Atlantic and Pacific basins. In the Atlantic, three systems are showing potential for development, with one near the Cabo Verde Islands having a 60% chance of becoming a tropical depression later this week. Meanwhile, in the Pacific, a disturbance located approximately 1,100 miles east-southeast of Hawaii has a 90% chance of developing into Tropical Storm Lala. This system could potentially strengthen into a hurricane and approach Hawaii by Friday, August 14. The ongoing El Niño phenomenon is playing a significant role in these developments, boosting Pacific storm activity while suppressing hurricane formation in the Atlantic.

Hawaii Prepares for Potential Tropical System Amid Trade Wind Weather

Hawaii Prepares for Potential Tropical System Amid Trade Wind Weather

Hawaii is experiencing locally breezy trade winds with a drier airmass, but there is a high potential for a tropical system to form to the east-southeast of the islands later this week. Forecast models are currently inconsistent, with some predicting the system will pass north, south, or directly through the islands. Residents are advised to stay informed and prepared for the active hurricane season. In addition to the potential tropical system, overlapping south swells are expected to maintain average wave heights on south shores, with a larger swell possibly reaching high surf advisory levels.

Potential Cyclone Could Impact Hawaii with Rain and Swells

Potential Cyclone Could Impact Hawaii with Rain and Swells

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a potential tropical cyclone approximately 1,100 miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. Development of this system is expected by midweek, with the possibility of significant impacts on Hawaii's weather. A high-pressure system to the northeast is currently maintaining trade wind weather across the state. However, the forecast could change dramatically if the system moves closer to the islands. Additionally, multiple south swells are anticipated this week, with the largest swell near advisory levels expected on Wednesday. The potential cyclone may also generate a sizeable east/southeast swell later in the week. (Source time: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:19:22 GMT)

Will a hurricane hit NY in 2026? Here's what NOAA's latest forecast says

Will a hurricane hit NY in 2026? Here's what NOAA's latest forecast says

NOAA now expects a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season, but New York could still see tropical storms, heavy rain and flooding later this summer and fall.

Tropical Development Likely in Atlantic and Pacific Amid Strengthening El Niño

Tropical Development Likely in Atlantic and Pacific Amid Strengthening El Niño

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two disturbances in the eastern tropical Atlantic, with one showing a medium chance of developing into a tropical storm or hurricane. The first disturbance is disorganized and faces challenges from strong upper winds, while the second, currently over Africa, is expected to move into the Atlantic by Tuesday, carrying significant moisture. In the Pacific, a disturbance is being closely watched as it could develop into a tropical storm or hurricane and potentially impact the Hawaiian Islands late this week or over the weekend. El Niño conditions are intensifying, which could influence tropical activity in both the Atlantic and Pacific basins.

NOAA Predicts Below-Normal Atlantic Hurricane Season

NOAA Predicts Below-Normal Atlantic Hurricane Season

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has reaffirmed its forecast for a below-average hurricane season in the Atlantic basin. This projection is attributed to the strengthening El Niño phenomenon, which has been present in the equatorial Pacific since June. Despite the reduced activity forecast, NOAA emphasized the importance of preparedness, as tropical systems can still cause significant inland rainfall and damage, even if they do not reach hurricane strength. Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific is expected to experience above-average activity, with predictions of 15 to 22 named storms this year. NOAA also noted that seasonal forecasts do not predict landfall locations, as these can only be determined days in advance once a tropical system forms. (Source time: not specified)

Invest 93C Could Threaten Hawaii Amid Active Pacific Hurricane Season

Invest 93C Could Threaten Hawaii Amid Active Pacific Hurricane Season

The FOX Forecast Center is closely monitoring Invest 93C, a tropical disturbance in the Central Pacific with a high probability of development. This system is part of a broader 'tropical traffic jam' in the Pacific, which has already seen seven named storms this hurricane season. Warm ocean waters, fueled by a strengthening El Niño, are creating favorable conditions for tropical storm or hurricane formation. Invest 93C is expected to approach Hawaii later this week, with forecast models suggesting potential tropical activity near the islands within a week. The Climate Prediction Center's two-week Tropical Hazards Outlook also highlights this region for potential development.

Atlantic Hurricane Season: New Areas Monitored for Tropical Development

Atlantic Hurricane Season: New Areas Monitored for Tropical Development

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two new areas in the Atlantic for potential tropical development during the 2026 hurricane season. While one area has low development chances, the other has a higher probability of becoming a tropical system. The development of these systems is influenced by factors such as Saharan dust, upper-level winds, and water temperatures. The NOAA has updated its hurricane outlook, predicting 7 to 13 named storms this season, with a strong El Niño expected to suppress tropical activity.

Both systems have a low chance of becoming tropical cyclones. But any activity is notable amid a slow start to the Atlantic hurricane season.

National Hurricane Center Monitors Two Potential Atlantic Storms Amidst Quiet Season

National Hurricane Center Monitors Two Potential Atlantic Storms Amidst Quiet Season

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking two systems in the Atlantic that could develop into tropical depressions or storms. One system, a tropical wave, is expected to move off the west coast of Africa and has a 40% chance of development. The other, located southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, has a 20% chance of development. The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has been relatively quiet, with only two named storms so far. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts a below-average season, with fewer storms and hurricanes than usual.
