2025 hurricane season starts: This year's outlook, how Florida residents can prepare
The Brief The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1, with NOAA and CSU predicting above-average activity due to warm oceans and favorable conditions. Forecasts call for up to 19 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes. How likely will a hurricane or tropical storm make landfall in the U.S. this year? CSU explains. ORLANDO, Fla. - The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1, and much like last year, the FOX 35 Storm Team expects a lot of ocean heat content to fuel the potential for an above-average season. Experts at both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Colorado State University (CSU) share a similar outlook: What we know NOAA's hurricane forecast: 13-19 named storms 6-10 hurricanes 3-5 major hurricanes (Cat. 3 or higher) CSU's hurricane forecast: 17 named tropical storms Of which, 9 become hurricanes Of which, 4 reach "major" hurricane strength (Cat. 3 or higher) Big picture view According to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, an average Atlantic hurricane season sees: 14 named tropical storms 7 hurricanes 3 "major" hurricanes (Category 3 or higher) Dig deeper There are a multitude of factors in the atmosphere that will heighten the chance of an above-average season. The climate pattern has been shifting, and it's looking like we're going to remain in the Neutral Phase of ENSO. With that, we typically see reduced wind shear in the Atlantic Basin which means storms can form and strengthen rapidly. That strengthening is only exacerbated by the warmer than average ocean temperatures. That along with more active Western African Monsoon can help spin-up more tropical systems. Colorado State University also looks at the probability of whether a "major" hurricane – Category 3, 4, or 5 storm – will make landfall in the U.S., along Florida's Coast, or within the Gulf Coast. 51% for the entire U.S. coastline (average from 1880–2020 is 43%). 26% for the U.S. East Coast, including the Florida peninsula (average from 1880–2020 is 21%). 33% for the Gulf Coast from the Florida panhandle westward to Brownsville, Texas(average from 1880–2020 is 27%). 56% for the Caribbean (average from 1880–2020 is 47%) Here are the tropical cyclone names for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.

Strong to severe storms possible for Pikes Peak Region Saturday
(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — It is likely that some in the Pikes Peak Region and the Palmer Divide could see strong to severe thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening on Saturday, May 24. For a strong to severe thunderstorm to occur, the following parameters in the atmosphere need to be in place: moisture, instability, lift, and wind shear. As of Saturday morning, the Fox21 Storm team says all four are in place for the day. As of 6 a.m. Saturday morning, forecast models indicate that storms could start anywhere from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., and are most likely to occur around the Palmer Divide region and anywhere in northern El Paso County. These storms are capable of producing anywhere from pea to ping-pong-ball-sized hail, strong winds up to 60 mph, and a small chance of an isolated tornado. The following are recommendations for today if you live in the Pikes Peak Region: if you can park your car under a structure, stay weather aware and if you are under a strong to severe storm take shelter in a sturdy structure until the storm has passed. You can also download the Fox21 Storm Team app today. If a severe storm comes to your area, the Fox21 Storm Team will send a notification to your phone. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 80s and low 90s by Tuesday, with the first 90-degree day of the year possible before a midweek cold front brings cooler conditions. Scattered thunderstorms, some potentially severe with damaging winds and hail, are expected from Monday through Wednesday, followed by cooler, drier weather starting Thursday. ATLANTA - North Georgia residents should prepare for patchy morning fog and a chance of isolated storms to start the week, with warmer temperatures expected Monday and a greater threat of severe weather arriving late Tuesday into Wednesday.

Chandley noted that storm chances on Monday will be limited and mainly confined to areas north of I-20, but strong to severe storms are possible through Tuesday night. The region could see its first 90-degree day of the year on Tuesday before a cold front pushes through midweek, bringing relief from the heat. Scattered thunderstorms are possible from Monday through Wednesday, especially in north Georgia. Some storms could be strong to severe, producing damaging winds and hail. By Thursday, a shift to cooler, drier conditions is expected, with highs in the 70s and lows dipping into the 50s.
