Sluggish start to Atlantic hurricane season
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The tropics remain quiet as we enter the second week of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
No new tropical development is expected in the Atlantic basin in the next seven days, according to the National Hurricane Center.

It's a different story over in the eastern Pacific, where hurricane season began in mid-May.
Barbara became a short-lived hurricane off the coast of Mexico and has since weakened back into a tropical storm. It is forecast to dissipate on Wednesday.
Nearby, Tropical Storm Cosme is expected to remain at near-hurricane strength before weakening begins Tuesday night.
The NHC is monitoring an area near the two storms with a high chance of development over the next seven days. It has a near-zero percent chance of development in the next 48 hours.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Google and U.S. Experts Join on A.I. Hurricane Forecasts
For the first time, the National Hurricane Center in Miami is working with an artificial intelligence company to improve its forecasts of the powerful storms that kill thousands of people globally every year. The Atlantic season has just begun and runs through November. DeepMind, a Google company based in London, announced on Thursday that it was supplying the government forecasters with a newly enhanced variety of its weather forecasting models. Specialized to focus on hurricanes, the model tracks a storm's development for up to 15 days, predicting not only its path but also its strength, an ability that earlier A.I. models lacked. Strength readings can make storm warnings far more accurate. So can reliable predictions of hurricane paths, which are known to zigzag, loop around, slow down, make hairpin turns or come to a complete stop. The hurricane center is not eliminating its human forecasters. Instead, the Google A.I. program will be used on an experimental basis by those same experts in their existing work. Still, the research partnership is the first time in which the Miami center is drawing on an A.I. company to learn how to better warn of nature's most destructive storms. 'It's about helping people protect themselves,' Wallace Hogsett, the center's science and operations officer, said in an interview. The union of skilled human forecasters and the A.I. tool, he added, has the potential to create 'a really powerful partnership.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather: High-water rescues in Texas as torrential rain ignites flash flooding
Welcome to the Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather. It's Thursday, June 12, 2025. Start your day with everything you need to know about today's weather. You can also get a quick briefing of national, regional and local weather whenever you like with the FOX Weather Update podcast. Roads are closed, and first responders are conducting high-water rescues in the San Antonio area after relentless rain in Texas led to numerous reports of flash flooding, with more rounds of heavy precipitation on the way Thursday. Several inches of rain fell across San Antonio and surrounding communities in a short period of time, making the situation even more dangerous. "In San Antonio proper, we've picked up over 5.5 inches of rain in three hours," FOX Weather Meteorologist Britta Merwin said. "These are very aggressive rain rates." The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas to watch for tropical development in the Eastern Pacific, including Invest 93E, which is expected to become a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Dalila late this week or over the weekend. Invest 93E is currently a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of southern Mexico. This disturbance has a medium chance of developing into at least a tropical depression in the next two days and a high chance in the next seven days. If Invest 93E attains tropical storm status, it will be named Dalila. A 15-foot-long python put a neighborhood in Garland, Texas, in quite a bind last Friday evening, when animal control had to respond to calls regarding a massive snake lurking in the neighborhood. According to a social media post from the City of Garland government, the 15-foot reticulated python was circling a yard and even trapped a man on top of his pickup truck.

Tropical Storm Dalila expected to form by weekend as Eastern Pacific remains ripe for tropical development
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two areas to watch for tropical development in the Eastern Pacific, including Invest 93E, which is expected to become a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Dalila late this week or over the weekend. The 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season has already seen its first hurricane develop in Barbara, which briefly reached Category 1 strength on Monday before dissipating over colder waters on Tuesday. Updated 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast Maintains Above-average Predictions Fueled By Warm Ocean Temps The NHC is monitoring a broad area of low pressure several hundred miles southwest of southern Mexico, which was designated as Invest 93E on Wednesday morning. An invest is a naming convention used to identify areas the NHC is investigating for possible development into a tropical depression or tropical storm within the next seven days. Invest 93E now has a high chance of developing into at least a tropical depression in the next two days. If it attains tropical storm status, it will be named Dalila. According to the FOX Forecast Center, this system is expected to take a similar track as Barbara, which deteriorated rapidly as it moved north into colder waters. Like Barbara, the FOX Forecast Center expects that Dalila would have minimal impacts to land. Forecasters are currently waiting to see if the thunderstorms in Invest 93E become more organized, a hallmark of tropical development. What's The Difference Between A Tropical Depression, Tropical Storm And Hurricane? The NHC is also watching a second area for potential tropical development in the Eastern Pacific due east of Invest 93E, offshore of southern Mexico and Central America. This area is being given a low chance of development over the next seven days. However, FOX Weather Meteorologist Britta Merwin noted this area could potentially have more impact than Invest 93E. "There's a lot more room for growth here," Merwin said, highlighting the large amount of warm water that is still ahead of this system.
