🌀 Tropics on the Move: Three Systems Being Watched
It’s been a quiet start to the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, but that calm might not last. As of Sunday, August 3, the National Hurricane Center is eyeing three developing weather systems. The most immediate is Invest 95L, currently spinning a few hundred miles east of North Carolina and drifting away from land. Though its cyclone chances sit at 50%, it doesn't pose a direct threat at this time.
Meanwhile, a large tropical wave off the coast of Africa is forecast to move westward early this week, adding to the list of potential developments. Another low-pressure system could form off the Southeastern U.S. coast in the coming days. If any of these systems gain tropical storm status, the next name in line is “Dexter.”
With hurricane season peaking between August and October, the USA TODAY Network is keeping a close eye on all formations — in English and Spanish. So if you're in Florida, it might be a good time to review your storm prep checklist.
