The National Hurricane Center is tracking a tropical wave in the central Atlantic which is moving quickly toward the Caribbean. There also is a non-tropical system over the northwestern Atlantic — well away from Florida — that may develop into a tropical or subtropical storm over the next several days, according to AccuWeather.

The Atlantic basin includes the northern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America, as the Gulf of Mexico is now known in the U.S. per an order from President Trump. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center are now using Gulf of America on its maps and in its advisories.

First Karen and then Jerry, both short-lived tropical storms fizzled in cooler Atlantic waters. Here's what's being watched now.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking two tropical disturbances, including one expected to cross Florida over the weekend.

A storm becomes a hurricane when maximum sustained winds reach at least 74 mph. Hurricanes are rated on a scale ranging from Category 1 to Category 5, with five being the most severe. A storm is considered a major hurricane when it reaches Category 3 strength, with sustained winds of at least 111 mph.

This map from the National Hurricane Center shows the likely path of Hurricane Humberto as it tears through the Atlantic. The hurricane "is drifting slowly in weak steering currents," the center said, though it added that Humberto is "gradually increasing speed while moving west-northward to northwestward".

Will it rain today? Atlantic hurricane season is June 1 to Nov. 30, 2025, with most tropical storm activity between August and October in Florida.
