Storm Team 3: Nice Start to the Week, Hurricane Season is Officially Underway, Rain Chances Return Mid-Week
Nice Weather in the Short-Term Pleasant weather will continue tonight with temperatures in the 60s for your Monday morning. Skies will clear out overnight. Calm winds give way to a light southeasterly breeze by the afternoon. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s and lower 90s under a few clouds from time to time. Changes Ahead Warmth and humidity increase gradually through the week ahead of a stalling frontal boundary. Between that and a developing disturbance over Florida, rain chances will return by midweek. Some uncertainty remains on if a low pressure develops and where it tracks. This will help determine coverage of rainfall and specific timing. Either way, daily storm chances are back beginning Wednesday for the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. Morning low temperatures gradually moderate to the lower-70s while afternoons will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. Heat index values will reach into the low-100s. Hurricane Season Has Begun The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season is underway. The list of names this year is recycled from 2019 with the only new addition being Dexter, in place of Dorian. Dorian was retired due to the devastating impact on The Bahamas. Typical areas to watch for development in June are close to home, in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf, and far-western Atlantic Ocean. June, especially in recent memory, typically sees short-lived, weaker activity. By July, the Caribbean usually becomes too hostile to sustain tropical systems. The bulk of the season's activity occurs between August 15 and October 15, so remember that we have a long way to go! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Hurricane 2025 names announced: Date, time, important details to know
As the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season approaches, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has officially released this year's list of storm names. The season kicks off on June 1 and runs through November 30, a period that could bring significant weather challenges, especially with experts warning of 'volatile' and above-average activity this year. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 2025 hurricane name list The WMO rotates storm name lists every six years, and this year's lineup includes 21 names, one for each letter of the alphabet, excluding Q, U, X, Y, and Z, due to the limited number of usable names starting with those letters. Here's the full list for 2025: Andrea Barry Chantal Dexter Erin Fernand Gabrielle Humberto Imelda Jerry Karen Lorenzo Melissa Nestor Olga Pablo Rebekah Sebastien Tanya Van Wendy The only change from the 2019 list is the retirement of 'Dorian', replaced this year by 'Dexter.' Dorian was officially retired after it devastated the Bahamas in 2019, causing over $5 billion in damages and leading to at least 77 fatalities across the Caribbean and the southeastern United States. Why do hurricanes have names? The modern hurricane naming system began in 1953, originally using only traditionally female names—a choice that later sparked criticism for its sexist origins, linking the unpredictability of storms to outdated stereotypes about women. Male names were finally added in 1979, and now names alternate by gender. How are names chosen? According to the WMO, hurricane names must meet several criteria: Short and easy to pronounce Not offensive in any language Unique to the Western Hemisphere Culturally and linguistically appropriate If all 21 names are used up in a particularly active season, a supplemental list—introduced in 2021—will be used. This replaced the former method of turning to the Greek alphabet. When are hurricane names retired? A name is retired when a storm is so deadly or costly that reusing its name would be insensitive. The process begins with a request from any affected country, or through a WMO decision. Notably, storms don't need to reach hurricane strength to have their names retired—Tropical Storm Allison was retired in 2002 for its destructive impact in Texas. In the 2020s so far, these names have been retired: Laura Eta Iota Ida Fiona Ian Beryl Helene Milton Prepare now: 2025 could be active Climate experts warn that hurricanes are becoming stronger and more frequent due to global warming. AccuWeather forecasts a season that may bring a 'near to above historical average' number of named storms to the U.S. coastline. If you live in a hurricane-prone area, now is the time to: Know your evacuation routes Stock up on emergency supplies Identify your nearest shelter Follow local weather alerts

Ben Kweller Opens Up About Son's Death for the First Time 2 Years After Teen Died in 'Fluke' Car Accident

During an interview with Vulture, the singer-songwriter, 43, talked about the "fluke" car accident that took his son Dorian's life in February 2023. For the first time, the musician shared the details of the incident and the emotions he went through following the loss of his 16-year-old son. Kweller explained that Dorian was driving home from a friend's house when he swerved off the shoulder of the road to avoid a truck. A branch then broke through his car windshield, hitting Dorian in the head and killing him. 'The car was fine,' Kweller told the outlet, recalling Dorian's car accident. 'It's like, 'What the f---, man?' It's fluke s---. It's just a f------ branch.' "The hole was this big," he said, making a hole with his fist roughly the size of a tangerine. 'When I'm talking to other parents about it, I almost want to tell them, 'Don't worry,' you know? 'I was able to take it off the table. It's not going to happen to you.' That's weird. Is that weird?'

Before the accident, there was a period in Kweller's life when he didn't have a connection to music. He told the outlet that during that time, when there was also a traumatic carbon-monoxide poisoning incident that almost ended his entire family's lives, he only did "the bare minimum to pay my mortgage and support my family." "It's really weird,' he said. 'Dorian dying should have been the moment that disconnected me the most. It shattered me, but it's also somehow the thing that's helping me with all the other stuff.' On Friday, May 30, Kweller released Cover the Mirrors, his first album since losing his son. After the incident, he threw himself into one of his earliest passions. While the 12-track project features more upbeat tempos, the "Oh Dorian" singer considers it "very dark," despite the joy that returning to music has brought him. 'I don't know if that just comes back to my natural personality,' he said. 'But is there an expectation that I make a certain kind of album after a tragedy like this?' Along with Dorian, Kweller is also dad to son Judah, 12, with wife Lizzy. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"There's no way that I can be typing this but I am…. Our son, Dorian Zev Kweller, was killed last night. He was only 16 and he was a true legend," Kweller wrote on Instagram. "Kindest, gentle soul, a friend to all. If you knew him, you know. We'll never get over him as long as we're here on earth." Kweller — who has toured with stars like Ed Sheeran and Death Cab for Cutie — said Dorian was an aspiring musician under the stage name Zev, and that he was scheduled to play his first show at SXSW in Austin in March. He encouraged his followers to keep his son's "spirit alive with your memories and the music he made," and linked to Dorian's Instagram page. "Dorian Zev wrote and recorded songs every day. A true poet from the day he started speaking," he wrote. "Only a few of his recordings were released but he was on a path and excited about his journey. He had so many plans!!! His first gig was in two weeks, at SXSW." The "Starz" singer said that the final text messages he exchanged with his son were about merch that Dorian wanted to create, and wrote that his "baby boy was at the starting line with so much life ahead of him." "I have no idea why things like this happen. We're in complete shock and don't know what the future holds," he wrote. "Lizzy, Judah, and I have no idea how to deal with this disaster. Thank you for your prayers and support and we apologize if we are slow to respond to messages. 💔." Read the original article on People
