The tropics are finally waking up but currently no concerns. Watching the wave out east (large orange blob) and a low chance of close-in development later this week. In the longer term the next tropical wave bears watching next week: dswx.substack.com/p/tropics-up...

Still watching some medium range signals that haven't materialized, other than that the tropics are quiet. There are continued hints that activity may pick up but it hasn't happened yet: dswx.substack.com/p/tropics-ho...

No concerns about the red area in the Gulf next week, that's an older signal.

🌦️ More Gulf Showers Ahead; Mostly Quiet Tropics Into Early September 🌴 Inverted trough brings showers and storms before weekend with maybe another repeat next week; tropical development odds stay low until at least the mid‑September peak.

NHC tagged a system in the Gulf that is almost a repeat of last week, I'm not expecting much from it. We may see this pattern repeat again next week. The tropical wave train is slowly coming to life but no concerns at this time: dswx.substack.com/p/more-gulf-...

NHC Flags Northern Gulf: Low-End Development Possible Next Week A low-pressure area could form mid to late next week near the Gulf Coast. While chances are low for development, it's something to keep an eye on. The rest of the forecast remains unchanged.

The NHC is now officially watching the northern Gulf for development later this week: dswx.substack.com/p/nhc-flags-...

Low chance of tropical development in the NE Gulf towards the end of the week. Doesn't look too exciting right now but will likely be a rain maker after the holiday: www.deepsouthwx.com/2025/06/trop...

Which hurricane models should you trust in 2025? Β» Yale Climate Connections How the models did last year, and why you should pay the most heed to the National Hurricane Center forecast.

For hurricane nerds only: my annual roundup of which models did the best. The European and GFS models were the top track models in 2024, with the GFS making better four- and five-day forecasts. The official NHC forecast was tough to beat. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/05/whic...

🚨 New paper alert 🚨. My former senior thesis student and I worked on this together.

We did a comprehensive assessment of potential tornado and lightning exposure to large outdoor gatherings in the US.
