First Hurricane Outlook of the season shows no threat to Gulf
The National Hurricane Center issued their first Tropical Outlook of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season for an area of showers and storms over Florida. Currently, this disturbance has a very low chance at 10% for tropical development as it lifts to the northeast. If the area stays offshore, it could develop subtropical or tropical characteristics in the next few days offshore of the Carolinas. This is NOT a threat to move into the Gulf of America.
The first name on the Atlantic Hurricane list is Andrea. Any models showing a tropical system in the Gulf late next week should NOT be trusted at this time.

There are 96 original windows from 1891 that were not updated during the 2015 mansion restoration. Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community takes place at Penn State Behrend 'We have to do everything following guidelines and standards to make sure it's historically accurate, and a couple of the cases we'll be doing full replacement, and those will be historically correct windows based on all the original specs for the mansion, so that's something that's really important to us,' said Caleb Pifer, executive director of the Hagen History Center.

Hurricane Barbara Forms, Becoming First of the Season – and Second Is Close Behind. Here's Where They Could Go
Hurricane Barbara has formed in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, and Tropical Storm Cosme is expected to achieve hurricane status soon, according to the National Hurricane Center Barbara is about 155 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico while Cosme is about 620 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja, Calif. Forecasters with NOAA say there is a 50% chance of a below-normal season in the Eastern Pacific for 2025The first hurricane of the 2025 season has formed — and a second is close behind. Hurricane Barbara is the first hurricane to form in the Eastern Pacific Ocean this year, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The storm is currently about 155 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico and moving northwest at about 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Miami. It is expected to continue in this general motion 'for the next couple of days' as it begins to dissipate. In a public advisory, forecasters said it is 'possible' that Hurricane Barbara may experience 'some slight additional strengthening' on Monday, June 9, but is expected to start weakening on Tuesday, June 10. 'Barbara is likely near its peak intensity, as it only has about 6-12 more hours of a favorable environment,' forecasters said in a forecast discussion published on Monday. Gusty winds are expected along coastal areas of southwestern Mexico for the next day or so, while swells from the storm will impact portions of the coast for the next few days. Forecasters said the swells caused by the hurricane 'are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.' Barbara is expected to cross over 'increasingly cooler sea surface temperatures overnight' on Monday while 'mid-level relative humidity values' begin to drop, causing it to weaken. The storm is expected to become post-tropical in 36 hours and dissipate in less than three days. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Cosme is churning about 620 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja, Calif., according to NWS Miami. As of Monday, the storm has maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and is expected to achieve hurricane status by the end of the day. Cosme is currently "moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph," but is expected to "turn toward the north with a decease in forward speed is expected" overnight, forecasters said. "Rapid weakening" is expected to begin Tuesday night, and Cosme is expected to dissipate in four days," according to the storm's forecast discussion. Forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are predicting a 50% chance of a below-normal hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, in the Eastern Pacific for 2025. Anywhere between 12 to 18 named storms are expected in the Eastern Pacific in 2025, five to 10 of which are expected to become hurricanes, according to the forecast. Two to five of those hurricanes could become major storms, meaning they reach Category 3 status or higher.

Tropical Storm Barbara becomes a hurricane
MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Barbara has strengthened into a hurricane, the first of the eastern Pacific hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Monday swells generated by the storm system will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Hurricane Barbara was located about 155 miles (245 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. Its maximum sustained winds were clocked at 75 mph (120 kph). The storm's center was moving northwest at 10 mph (17 kph). No coastal warnings or watches were in effect Monday morning. But the storm was expected to bring heavy rainfall to coastal areas of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco states, with the possibility of localized flooding. The hurricane center said swells from Barbara were likely to form life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the southwestern Mexican coast, with gusty winds likely. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Cosme strengthened slightly Monday but remained well off the coast of Mexico, about 630 miles (1,015 kilometers) south-southwest of the tip of Baja California, the NHC said. At 2 a.m. local time it had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph) and was moving west-northwest at 9 mph (14 kph). Cosme is expected to reach near-hurricane strength on Monday before turning to the northeast and picking up speed Tuesday into Wednesday.
