A powerful El Niño is already influencing extreme weather around the planet. During the last strong El Niño, federal agencies ramped up research in the hope of improving weather forecasts. This year, they won't be matching that effort.

Forecasters were tracking Tropical Storm Hanna in the central Atlantic, but similar to most systems in 2026, it will remain weak and stay clear of land.

While most of the current discussion on improving AI for weather focuses on the models or new hardware, the data is crucial.

The trade-off from a quiet hurricane season? The El Niño brewing in the Pacific Ocean could result in the most severe winter weather conditions ever recorded in Florida.

Landfall, direct hit, strike and indirect hit describe different relationships between a hurricane and a location — and the terms can overlap. Hurricane Milton shows why the path of the center is only one part of a storm’s story.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami reports Fay was about 450 miles southwest of the Azores on Sunday. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a disturbance in the central Atlantic, but the system poses no threat to the U.S. and faces an uphill climb for development.

Atlantic hurricane season has reached its climatological peak without producing a single hurricane. A strengthening El Niño is helping suppress development, but Florida’s complicated history shows why a quiet peak is no guarantee of a quiet finish.

And it's been a very quiet season so far. Beyond Sept. 10, six named storms form during an average season, with four becoming hurricanes.

Tropical Storm Edouard has formed along the northern Gulf Coast, bringing the threat of flooding to Texas and Louisiana, while moisture from Dolly targets Florida.

Tropical Storm Dolly no longer has a closed circulation and is now a tropical wave.

Invest 96L is slowly moving westward across the Atlantic Ocean with a 70% chance of tropical development over the next week.
