Hurricane center keeps eyes on tropical system that could target Florida while Tropical Storm Barry strikes Mexico
Tropical Storm Barry disintegrated after striking Mexico early Monday morning while the National Hurricane Center continued to forecast the season's next tropical depression or storm could form off the coast of Florida later this week. In its 8 a.m. tropical outlook, the NHC said an area of low pressure could develop off either the southeast U.S. coast, over Florida or over the eastern Gulf as a frontal boundary is forecast to stall and weaken coming from the north. Its bubble of potential development sweeps across all of Central Florida. "Some gradual tropical or subtropical development could occur thereafter as the low moves little," forecasters said. The NHC gave it a 20% chance for development in the next seven days. The National Weather Service in Melbourne said to expect a high chance of rain no matter what forms around the Fourth of July and into that weekend. "Unsettled conditions with high rain chances expected to continue into the extended forecast range as the stalled front accompanied by copious moisture sags into the southeast and towards Florida," forecasters said. "Heavy rainfall will be the primary concern regardless of development. Multiple rounds of showers and storms will be possible each day, increasing/compounding concerns for flooding." If it were to develop into a named storm, it could become Tropical Storm Chantal, the third named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. The second only formed Sunday morning in the Bay of Campeche off of the Mexican coast, but lasted less than a day. Tropical Storm Barry made landfall after midnight Monday having grown some in strength with sustained winds of 45 mph. By 5 a.m., though, the remnants of Barry were located about 100 miles northwest of Tampico, Mexico with winds of 30 mph as it moved northwest at 12 mph. The system was still expected to drop 3-5 inches of rain with some areas getting as much as 10 inches across portions of the Mexican states of San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas through today. "This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain," the NHC stated. The slow start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season did not see the first named storm form - Tropical Storm Andrea - last week, out in the middle the Atlantic where it spun for less than a day with no threat to land. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, though, still forecasts 13 to 19 named storms this year, of which 6-10 will become hurricanes. Three to five of those would grow into major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30. ----------- Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Tropical Storm Andrea forming over the Atlantic, but is not expected to pose a threat
The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season has formed east of Bermuda, but it isn't expected to pose much of a threat. The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla., says Tropical Storm Andrea is a small, gale-force low-pressure system. The storm is producing showers and thunderstorms over the central Atlantic.

The centre says the environmental conditions about 1,400 kilometres east of Bermuda are expected to prevent the storm from gaining any strength by this evening, and it is expected to dissipate on Wednesday. Last month, the Canadian Hurricane Centre in Halifax predicted another active year for tropical storms. The Halifax-based centre has calculated that between 35 and 40 per cent of all tropical storms typically enter the Canadian zone, which extends from Ontario eastward to Atlantic Canada's sprawling offshore. Story continues below advertisement As a result, between two and four named storms can be expected to enter the Canadian zone every year. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 24, 2025.

Tropical Storm Andrea becomes first named storm of 2025 Atlantic hurricane season
Tropical Storm Andrea, the first named system of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, has formed in the Central Atlantic. As of 11 a.m., Andrea was located about 1,205 miles west of the Azores, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and higher gusts. The storm was moving east-northeast at 17 mph and was not expected to threaten any land areas. No coastal watches or warnings are in effect. NEXT Weather meteorologist Shane Hinton said it will be very short lived as it continues to stay in the Central Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center said Andrea is unlikely to strengthen and is expected to begin weakening Tuesday night. The system is projected to dissipate by Wednesday night. The average date for the first named tropical system in the Atlantic is June 20th.

National Hurricane Center Watching For Possible Formation Of The Atlantic's First Tropical Depression Or Storm
An area of low pressure in the northern Atlantic Ocean is being tracked by the National Hurricane Center for the possible formation of the season's first tropical depression or storm. The low-pressure system is located about 500 miles east of Bermuda and has become better organized since the NHC began tracking it on Sunday. Only a small increase in shower and thunderstorm activity could allow it to form into Tropical Depression One or Tropical Storm Andrea today. This system's window of opportunity to develop is small since environmental conditions become increasingly hostile by Tuesday. The good news is that since the system's location is far from land, as depicted in red on the map below, it's no threat to the United States or anywhere else. On average (1991-2020), the first Atlantic storm of the season has formed by June 20, so if Andrea develops out of this disturbance it'd be right on time. Chris Dolce has been a senior digital meteorologist with for 15 years after beginning his career with The Weather Channel in the early 2000s.
