National Hurricane Center keeping eye on 3 tropical waves. See latest on Saharan dust, Florida heat
Tropical activity remains quiet in the Atlantic basin, although there have already been three named storms in the eastern Pacific. The National Hurricane Center is watching three tropical waves, including one approaching the Caribbean. ➤ Track all active storms ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location Expect Tuesday, June 10, to be warm across Florida, with showers and thunderstorms in several locations, especially North Florida, according to the National Weather Service. Elsewhere, the forecast calls for heat index values into triple digits, with some locations possibly seeing the feels-like temp as high as 105. Forecasters also warned about extreme UV index along Florida's east coast. Another large plume of dust moving across the Atlantic could reach Florida around June 13, according to AccuWeather. Dust, along with wind shear, help suppress tropical development. Here's the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center as of 8 a.m., June 10: The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic: Tropical wave 1: The axis of a tropical wave is near the west coast of Africa along 19W from 05N to 19N. Tropical wave 2: A second tropical wave is along 47W from 06.5N to 15N, and is moving west at around 17 mph. Tropical wave 3: Another tropical wave is approaching the Lesser Antilles in the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Its axis is along 61W, moving westward at 7 to 11 mph. "The average first named storm in the Atlantic is June 20, but development over the central and eastern basin looks unfavorable through June at this time," said AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Forecaster Alex DaSilva. Now is the time to prepare for a hurricane, before a storm is approaching. After becoming the first hurricane of the 2025 season in the eastern Pacific on June 9, Barbara quickly weakened back into a tropical storm. ➤ Storm tracker: NHC tracks Tropical Storms Barbara and Cosme By 2 a.m. June 10, Tropical Storm Barbara continues to weaken and is expected to dissipate by June 11. Swells generated by Barbara will affect portions of the coast of southwestern and west-central Mexico, as well as the southernmost portions of Baja California through June 10, according to the National Hurricane Center. Tropical Storm Cosme is "holding steady," and little change in strength is expected over the next 12 hours. Weakening is expected this morning (June 10). Neither Barbara nor Cosme are expected to directly impact land, according to AccuWeather. Southeast of the two tropical storms is an area of low pressure expected to strengthen into a tropical depression later this week or over the weekend. Chances for development is 70%. Historically, tropical cyclones form close to the U.S. in June, with the most common locations being the northwestern Caribbean and the eastern Gulf, according to Dr. Ryan Truchelut, chief meteorologist with WeatherTiger. Truchelut is a Florida meteorologist who works with the USA TODAY Network. "None of the reputable forecast models are showing a realistic chance of anything tropical forming on the Atlantic side of Central America through mid-month." ➤ WeatherTiger: False alarms, beneficial rain and a dusty start to Florida storm season The exception is the GFS model, which is predicting a Caribbean tropical storm will spin up in 10 to 12 days, then move generally northward, Truchelut said. "The GFS has a persistent and well-known bias for incorrectly predicting development in the Caribbean at this specific time of year," Truchelut said. "All told, while something could eventually spin up in two or three weeks, the GFS' frequent false alarms should be disregarded." A "ghost hurricane" is a term used to describe a tropical storm or hurricane that appears in a forecast model but which doesn't happen in reality, according to CNN. Pensacola, western Panhandle: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 1 p.m. Highs expected to hit 86. Tallahassee, central Panhandle: A severe thunderstorm warning was issued early June 10 as strong storms rolled through the area before sunrise. More showers and thunderstorms expected today, mainly before noon. High near 90, with heat index as high as 102. Jacksonville, North/Northeast Florida: Strong to isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and evening. Possible hazards include frequent lightning strikes, strong winds up to 60 mph and locally heavy downpours. High near 92, with heat index as high as 100. Daytona Beach to Stuart, East/Central Florida: Scattered to numerous afternoon and evening lightning storm favor the interior. Expect hot and humid conditions today, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and peak indices ranging from 100 to 105. UV index will be extreme. West Palm Beach to Naples, South/Southwest Florida: Chances for showers and thunderstorms increase today, especially across Southwest Florida. Some of these storms could bring heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. High near 84 along the east coast, 89 on the west coast, with heat index as high as 100. Fort Myers to Sarasota, West/Southwest Florida: Partly cloudy with scattered to numerous mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms, with the best chance of rain over the interior and Southwest Florida. Highs in the upper 80s along the coast and lower to mid 90s inland. An extreme heat index, which is anything over 11, means protection against sun damage is needed, according to the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection. "A UV Index reading of 11 or higher means extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure," the National Weather Service said. "Try to avoid sun exposure during midday hours, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 liberally every two hours. Take all precautions. Unprotected skin can burn in minutes." ➤ Enter your address to see UV index where you live "Beachgoers should know that white sand and other bright surfaces reflect UV and can double UV exposure." The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30. Ninety-seven percent of tropical cyclone activity occurs during this time period, NOAA said. 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. The peak of the season is Sept. 10, with the most activity happening between mid-August and mid-October, according to the Hurricane Center. Systems currently being monitored by the National Hurricane Center include: Tropical cyclone is the generic term used by the National Weather Service, NOAA and the National Hurricane Center for any tropical system, even if it's in the tropical Atlantic basin. To be more precise, a tropical cyclone is a "rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation," NOAA said. Once maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph, what it is called is determined by where it originated: : for storms in the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific. : for storms in the Northwest Pacific. : for storms in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
