Quiet in the Atlantic
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills explains how we are about a week away from the official peak of hurricane season, and for the third year in a row, we are not tracking any hurricanes or tropical systems. We are on our way to setting a record in the Atlantic basin for the latest hurricane formation.

Latest first hurricane?
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says the tropics are on snooze. She explains how we could be approaching a record for the latest first hurricane formation if no storm forms by Sept. 11.

Quiet Atlantic, active Pacific
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg talks about how we are just one week away from the peak of the hurricane season, which is September 10th, and the Atlantic Basin is incredibly quiet. The massive wind shear created by the raging El Niño has basically shut down the Atlantic. Typically, it does slow down the Atlantic, but Eastern Pacific activity increase. There are three hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific right now, with the strongest one, Lowell, perhaps threatening Hawaii early next week.

Heavy rain follows Tropical Depression Edouard
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg talks about how Tropical Depression Edouard continues to dump very heavy rain in Texas. After making landfall as a 60 mph tropical storm, it's winds are no longer a factor, but the rain is.

Tropical Storm Edouard strengthens
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is tracking Tropical Storm Edouard and its impacts across parts of Texas and Louisiana. Edouard has been strengthening, with maximum sustained winds near 50 mph. Winds just south of the storm’s center have been reported closer to 65 mph. There is still a chance Edouard could strengthen further before making landfall later Tuesday. A hurricane watch is in effect from High Island, Texas, to Cameron, Louisiana, where hurricane-force winds are possible. However, because of the storm’s small size, overall impacts are expected to remain relatively limited. Heavy rainfall will likely be the biggest concern, with the potential for flash flooding across parts of Texas and Louisiana. Edouard is expected to weaken quickly after moving inland. The next name on the Atlantic hurricane season list is Fay. As we approach the peak of hurricane season on Sept. 10, the rest of the tropics remain relatively quiet.

Watching 2 areas of development in Gulf, Caribbean
Meteorologists are closely tracking two tropical disturbances—Invest 97L in the northern Gulf of Mexico and the remnants of former Tropical Storm Dolly in the Caribbean—for signs of organization over the coming days.
Meteorologists are closely tracking two tropical disturbances—Invest 97L in the northern Gulf of Mexico and the remnants of former Tropical Storm Dolly in the Caribbean—for signs of organization over the coming days.
Dolly remnants, Gulf low being monitored
Two areas of interest are being monitored in the tropics. The first is a weak area of low pressure in the northern Gulf of Mexico. It has a 10% chance of tropical development over the next two days and a 20% chance over the next seven days. The remnants of what was Tropical Storm Dolly are also continuing to bring impacts to parts of the Caribbean. Heavy rain and strong winds are affecting areas including the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The system is generally moving toward the Bahamas, where there is a low-end chance it could reorganize over the next several days. Forecasters give it a 10% chance of redeveloping into next week. Meanwhile, the weak low pressure system in the Gulf is drifting westward and is centered just off the coast of New Orleans, Louisiana. The system is expected to bring additional rounds of rain to parts of the Deep South as it meanders along the northern Gulf. The next name on the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season list is Edouard.

Two areas to watch
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills explains how we have two areas we are watching, though the odds of tropical development are low. The remnants of Dolly are expected to bring heavy rain to places like Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Lesser Antilles.

Heavy rain leftover from Dolly brings rain to Leeward Islands
Tropical Storm Dolly is no more. The National Hurricane Center said Friday that Dolly had been downgraded to an open tropical wave as it makes its way across the Atlantic Ocean, towards the Leeward Islands. Tropical Storm Dolly Leeward Islands.

Tropical Storm Dolly forms in the Atlantic, 4th storm of the season
Tropical Storm Dolly formed early Thursday morning over the central tropical Atlantic, becoming the fourth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center said.

Wind shear impacting 2 Atlantic systems
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is still watching Invest 95L, which has been sheared away as it works its way north in the Atlantic. He said there is no concern about it. Weber is also keeping an eye on Invest 96L, which has a 60% chance of developing over the next week. Computer models show it moving west in the Atlantic, but Weber said it will encounter wind shear and will start to fall apart over the weekend. The next name on the list is Dolly.

Tropical systems could develop in Atlantic
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching two areas in the tropics, including Invest 95L, which is expected to work its way north, where it is expected to encounter hostile wind shear as it tries to become a tropical depression. It is not expected to impact the United States. He is also watching Invest 96L off the coast of Africa, which has a 70% chance of development. Weber noted that the models show it moving west-northwest and then several models have it turning to the north, while others have it moving west. He said it is still too early to definitively say where it is going to go. The next name on the list is Dolly.

2 tropical systems monitored in Atlantic
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is looking at two areas in the Atlantic, including Invest 95, that may develop this week. He said Invest 95 could become a tropical depression or tropical storm, but it is moving north and will not impact the United States. He is also watching an area off the coast of Africa that has a 60% chance of developing this week. The next name on the list is Dolly. Weber is also watching the Pacific, which has three named systems and four areas of interest.

Tropical Storm Moke passes south of Hawaii
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is tracking Tropical Storm Moke in the Pacific as it is passing south of the Hawaiian Islands, with winds and rain expected to increase this week. Moke is forecast to remain a tropical storm and pass south of the islands without making landfall. A pair of areas of development are currently being monitored in the Atlantic. The first area is just to the south-southeast of Bermuda, with only a 30% chance of development over the next week. The other area is near Portugal and Spain, where it has been bringing some rain but has a low chance of development overall. A tropical wave merging off the coast of Africa is also something to monitor this week, with a 50% chance of development over the next week. The next name on the 2026 Atlantic storm list is Dolly.

Couple of areas to watch
FOX 13 meteorologist Valerie Mills explains how we have a couple of areas to watch in the Atlantic Basin. It is about this point in the hurricane season where the main development region starts to come to life.

2 Atlantic tropical systems being monitored
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching two areas in the Atlantic that both have a 20% chance of development over the next week. However, he says regardless of development, neither system will impact Florida. Weber says one system is headed toward Europe and could eventually impact Portugal. Weber is also watching Tropical Depression Two-C in the Pacific, which is expected to pass south of the Hawaiian Islands.

Tropical waves hindered by Saharan dust
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching the tropics, which remain quiet on the Atlantic side, while the Pacific remains active with Hurricane Lala and Tropical Depression Two-E. Weber noted that waves rolling off the coast of Africa keep encountering Saharan dust and wind shear which prohibits development.
