How Pentagon cuts to satellite data will leave hurricane forecasters in the dark
Hurricane forecasters will soon lose access to government satellite data vital for tracking hurricanes overnight — and preventing what meteorologists once called a 'sunrise surprise' when storms unexpectedly strengthen or shift in the darkness. The Pentagon said Monday it would wait until the end of July before it stops sharing the data, a month later than initially planned, in response to the high level of concern after the move was first announced last week.

NOAA delays the cutoff of key satellite data for hurricane forecasting
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday it is delaying by one month the planned cutoff of satellite data that helps forecasters track hurricanes. Meteorologists and scientists warned of severe consequences last week when NOAA said, in the midst of this year's hurricane season , that it would almost immediately discontinue key data collected by three weather satellites that the agency jointly runs with the Defense Department.

NHC tracking system that could stall over Florida. Fort Myers, Lee County July 4th impact
Planning any outdoor activities in Fort Myers or Lee County this upcoming Fourth of July weekend? You may want to make backup plans to move things inside. A disturbance is expected to stall late this week of the southeastern coast of the United States and could lead to the formation of an area of low pressure over Florida by the holiday weekend. As of 8 a.m. June 30, it had a low chance for tropical or subtropical development, according to the National Hurricane Center. ➤ Track all active storms ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location The system stretches across Florida, from the northeastern Gulf to the Atlantic waters off the southeastern coast of the United States. Whether or not a system develops, increased rainfall is expected through the next week. If you missed it over the weekend, the second named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Barry developed Sunday, June 29 before making landfall in Veracruz, Mexico. By Monday morning, June 30, it had weakened to a remnant low as it continues to bring heavy rain to some areas. The next named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will be Chantal. A frontal boundary is expected to stall and weaken off the southeast U.S. coast late this week, according to the National Hurricane Center. An area of low pressure could develop from the weakening front by the weekend off the southeast U.S., over Florida, or over the eastern Gulf. Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as the low moves little. Formation chance through 48 hours: low, near 0 percent. Formation chance through 7 days: low, 20 percent. "A cold front will dive off the coast late this week, and it may act as a catalyst for development either in the eastern Gulf or off the Southeast coast," said Alex DaSilva, AccuWeather lead hurricane expert. "Wind shear, which can inhibit development, is expected to be fairly low and ocean water temperatures in the Gulf are above average which can aid in development in the outlooked area." "This system poses no direct threat to Florida over the next 5-7 days; however, this system could bring locally heavy rainfall, gusty winds and an increased rip current risk along the Gulf or Atlantic Coast later this week and will continue to be monitored closely," the Florida Department of Emergency Management said. "Those heading to the beaches for the holiday weekend from northern Florida and the Alabama and Mississippi panhandles to the Carolinas are urged to monitor the forecast, as there may be rough surf and rip currents and perhaps gusty winds should a tropical depression or storm develop," DaSilva said. The Fourth of July forecast for Lee County from the National Weather Service in Tampa Bay as of June 30, 2025: July 4th forecast: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Partly sunny, with a high near 84. South southwest wind 6 to 9 mph. Chance of rain is 70 percent. Friday night: Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 77. Chance of rain is 50 percent 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 sadi. 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.
