Hurricanes Keep Pressure in Hellebuyck Trade Chase

The Carolina Hurricanes have reportedly made multiple offers to acquire Connor Hellebuyck, with a package centered on defenseman Alexander Nikishin, goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov, and at least one first-round pick; Winnipeg reportedly wants a top-six forward, and trade talks are ongoing. Hellebuyck is under a five-year, $8.5M AAV deal with a full no-movement clause and is currently suspended for not reporting to training camp, though he reportedly prefers to play in the United States. No deal is finalized yet.

El Niño Delays Atlantic Hurricanes to Record-Late Start

El Niño’s strengthening warm waters in the Pacific are depressing Atlantic hurricane activity, producing a record-late start with five named storms and no hurricanes through Sept. 15. NOAA still expects below-average Atlantic activity (7–13 named storms, 0–2 major hurricanes, 2–6 hurricanes) while the Pacific season remains robust, with 14 named storms and four hurricanes so far, including major storms Genevieve and Karina and a Cat 5 peak for Lowell. The anomaly has reached about 2°C, marking a very strong El Niño, a pattern historically linked to active Pacific storms and subdued Atlantic activity.

Rare Atlantic Quiet: Only Two Hurricane-Free Years in 175 Years

Over 175 years of records, the Atlantic has had only two hurricane-free years (1907 and 1914); with the advent of satellites, some pre-satellite storms may have been missed, making true hurricane-free years extremely rare.

Hawaii Braces for Lowell as Cat 4 Hurricane Turns Toward the Islands

Hurricane Lowell has intensified to Category 4 and is forecast to turn north, keeping its center offshore west of Kauai. Forecasters warn watches could be issued for parts of Hawaii as Lowell nears, with expected rainfall of 3–6 inches on Kauai and the Big Island (islands may see isolated totals over 10 inches) and 2–4 inches on Maui, along with strong winds and dangerous surf; Hawaii Governor Josh Green has signed an emergency proclamation to aid preparation and response.

Marie’s Pacific moisture could drench SoCal with rare tropical rain

Marie, a Category 1 hurricane, is forecast to drift north and push tropical moisture toward Southern California this weekend, potentially delivering rare rain with beach hazards from high surf and rip currents but no expected flooding; moisture could also reach southern Nevada and the western Four Corners. The Pacific is active with three storms—Marie, Lowell and Karina—with Lowell near Hawaii as a major threat to Kauai before turning away, while Karina is expected to weaken offshore.

Three Pacific Hurricanes Roil Between Hawaii and North America

A rare trio of eastern Pacific hurricanes—Lowell, Karina and Marie—are churning between Hawaii and the western U.S. Two have become major hurricanes, Lowell briefly intensified to Category 5 before easing to about 145 mph, Karina remains a major hurricane as it drifts northwest, and Marie stays offshore but could contribute moisture to the U.S. West Coast; scientists note it’s the first time Category 4 and 5 storms were present simultaneously in the eastern Pacific.

Three Pacific Storms Teeter Toward Hurricanes, Threatening Hawaii and Maybe California

Three Pacific storms—Marie, Karina and Lowell—could intensify into hurricanes by the weekend as El Niño fuels an unusually active season, posing potential threats to Hawaii and, in a rare scenario, Southern California, though most forecast models keep the systems at sea for now.

SoCal Braces for Rain as Hurricane Marie's Remnants Move Toward Labor Day

Forecasters warn Marie’s remnants could bring heavy rain and coastal flooding to Southern California this Labor Day weekend, even if the storm weakens before reaching land; the most likely scenario is a decaying tropical storm with breezy winds and substantial moisture rather than a direct hurricane landfall, but high tides along south-facing shores could cause coastal flooding and rip currents, with several possible tracks due to the uncertain storm path amid an intensifying El Niño.

Gulf Disturbances Raise Early Hurricane Risk as Dolly’s Remnants Linger

The National Hurricane Center raised development odds for two Gulf disturbances: Dolly’s remnants, now a tropical wave moving toward Florida with a 20% chance to redevelop in 7 days, and a northern Gulf low with up to a 50% chance to become a short‑lived tropical depression or storm in 2–7 days. Regardless of formation, the systems could bring heavy rainfall to the Leeward Islands and portions of the Florida/Gulf region, including the upper Texas and southwestern Louisiana coasts, while NOAA’s seasonal forecast calls for 7–13 named storms this year.

Dolly Poised to Weaken as It Heads Toward the Caribbean

The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Dolly is a fast-moving system about 1,145 miles east of the Caribbean’s Leeward Islands, moving west at 24 mph with maximum sustained winds near 40 mph. Dolly is forecast to degenerate into a tropical wave before reaching the Leeward Islands, but heavy rain could lash the Caribbean this weekend, bringing flash‑flood risks to the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Florida isn’t expected to be threatened by Dolly, and forecasters note the 2026 Atlantic season is anticipated to produce 7–13 named storms with limited chances of major hurricanes.

Hawaii Faces Chance of Fresh Tropical Storm This Weekend After Lala's Floods

A tropical disturbance about 1,300 miles southeast of Hawaii has an 80% chance of developing into a tropical storm within seven days, potentially bringing more heavy rain to the Big Island as Lala intensifies back to a Category 4 hurricane; forecasters say impacts will depend on the storm's track this weekend.

Lala’s blow to Hawaii hints at a busier Pacific storm season ahead

Hawaii endured Lala, a rare hurricane that dumped two to three feet of rain on parts of the Big Island and damaged homes, bridges, and schools, with no reported loss of life. Now weakened to a tropical storm, Lala could be a warning of several more impactful Pacific storms through August, as ocean waters remain exceptionally warm due to El Niño, marine heat waves, and climate change, with potential activity near Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands and moisture reaching California, signaling a marathon of the eastern and central Pacific hurricane season.

DeepMind's WeatherNext Extends Lead Time for Hurricanes Using Open-Source AI

Google DeepMind’s WeatherNext AI can predict hurricane tracks and intensities using lower-resolution data, providing about a day more lead time than current models and producing thousands of scenario outputs to map uncertainty. It accurately forecast a Category 5 threat days in advance during Hurricane Melissa in 2025, and the team will open-source the models for research. While promising, the system’s inner workings are not fully understood, and forecasters emphasize that humans must translate predictions into actionable decisions.

El Niño Tames the Atlantic, Yet Peak Hurricane Season Remains a Threat

A Washington Post meteorologist explains that the Atlantic has been unusually quiet this hurricane season thanks to El Niño-driven upper-level winds and Saharan dust, making it one of the tamest seasons on record. But the season is long, and storms can still form, especially away from El Niño’s strongest winds, so vigilance remains essential as the peak approaches.

Super El Niño Could Push 2026 Toward Record Cat 5 Hurricanes

A strengthening Super El Niño is driving an unusually active Pacific for 2026, producing multiple Category 5 storms including Dolphin (the year’s fifth), and putting the year on track to surpass the 1997 global Cat 5 record. NOAA expects above-normal Pacific activity while Atlantic activity remains relatively quiet, signaling a potential record-breaking year for Cat 5 hurricanes.
