The remnants of Tropical Storm Edouard are moving across Texas, bringing additional heavy rain and a flood threat per the National Hurricane Center, with 2–4 inches more rain possible in northeast Texas and total rainfall along Edouard’s path of 5–10 inches (isolated totals up to 22 inches) as the system weakens over the next day.
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.
Tropical Storm Dolly is forecast to bring heavy rainfall to parts of the Caribbean this weekend as it weakens while moving west toward the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola; winds near 40 mph and a central pressure around 1007 mb; not expected to impact Florida and is expected to be short-lived.
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.
The National Hurricane Center confirms Tropical Storm Dolly formed in the far eastern Atlantic as the fourth named storm of the 2026 season, moving west at about 24 mph with 40 mph winds. It’s not expected to strengthen over the next 48 hours and could weaken to a tropical wave by the weekend. No immediate impacts to the U.S. or Florida are anticipated, though the track remains uncertain while Dolly remains far away.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a single Atlantic system, Invest 96L, located southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, with a 60% chance to develop into a tropical depression or storm over the next 2–7 days as it moves westward, but conditions are expected to become less favorable by this weekend, reducing development chances. A second potential system near Bermuda has moved into waters not conducive to development with 0% chances. The 2026 season has been slow with three named storms (Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal); Dolly is next. NOAA’s updated forecast now calls for 7–13 named storms, 2–6 hurricanes, and possibly no major hurricanes, reflecting a below-average season with peak activity mid-August to mid-October.
The National Hurricane Center downgraded Cristobal to a tropical depression about 610 miles west of the Azores, with maximum sustained winds around 35 mph and a northeast drift of roughly 16 mph; the system is expected to dissipate soon, and no coastal watches or warnings are in effect.
Tropical Storm Bertha weakened but continued a slow westward crawl along the Gulf Coast, with tropical-storm warnings in effect from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana and watches further west. Maximum winds near 50 mph with higher gusts, potential 2–4 foot storm surge from the mouth of the Mississippi to the LA border, and 1–4 inch rain (locally up to 6 inches) are expected as Bertha nears Texas; forecasters say it will likely weaken and could move inland over Texas in about 48 hours, becoming post-tropical thereafter while the hurricane season outlook remains below average.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave in the Atlantic with a 20% chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm, potentially becoming Tropical Storm Dexter, amid a season with three named storms so far and forecasts predicting a slightly less active season than initially expected.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a low-pressure system off Florida's coast with a 20% chance of developing into a tropical storm, potentially named Dexter, bringing heavy rain to Florida and the southeastern U.S. later this week.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas of interest in the Atlantic. One area of low pressure in the eastern tropical Atlantic has a 20% chance of development in the next seven days, while the second area, located off the Cabo Verde Islands, also has a 20% chance of development. Slow development is possible for both systems as they move west-northwestward or northwestward across the Atlantic.
The National Hurricane Center is tracking an area of interest in the Atlantic Ocean, giving it a 30% chance of development in the next seven days. The system is expected to form east-northeast of Bermuda and could acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics as it drifts southeastward. However, it is not forecast to pose a threat to Florida.
Tropical Storm Beatriz has formed off the southern coast of Mexico and is expected to rapidly strengthen into a hurricane by Friday. It is forecasted to track parallel to the southwestern coast of Mexico, prompting Hurricane Warnings and Watches in various areas. The National Hurricane Center is also tracking Hurricane Adrian, which is moving away from Mexico in the Eastern Pacific.
Tropical Storm Bret weakens as it moves away from the eastern Caribbean islands after producing wind gusts upwards of 60 mph. All Tropical Storm Warnings have been dropped as the storm moves farther away. The NHC predicts that the storm will weaken further and dissipate over the central Caribbean Sea by early Sunday. This marks the first time in recorded history that two tropical cyclones have formed east of the Lesser Antilles in the tropical Atlantic during June.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has reported that a subtropical storm has developed in the Atlantic in January, which is unusual. The storm has been named Subtropical Storm Ana and is expected to dissipate by Monday. The NHC has advised that the storm poses no threat to land.
