The current weather forecast does not indicate any tropical storms or hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin for the next 7 days. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is predicting no tropical development over the next week, and the El Niño or La Niña cycle is expected to have a neutral impact on the hurricane season.
However, there is a potential for some Saharan dust to move into Southeast Texas by this weekend, which could make for hazy sunsets and sunrises but also be a lung irritant for those with asthma or allergies.
It's worth noting that the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season is expected to be above-normal, with a 30% chance of a near-normal season, a 60% chance of an above-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season. Researchers at Colorado State University are predicting 17 tropical storms, with 9 becoming hurricanes and 4 potential major hurricanes.
Some analog years from the past that could be comparable to this season include 1996, 1999, 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2017. These years were all above normal in terms of hurricane activity, but some were more active than others.
In terms of specific storms, there are no named storms currently predicted for the next week, although it's always possible that new storms could develop or make landfall at any time.
Here is a summary of the current forecast:
* No tropical storms or hurricanes expected in the Atlantic Basin for the next 7 days
* Potential for some Saharan dust to move into Southeast Texas by this weekend
* 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season expected to be above-normal, with 30% chance of near-normal season, 60% chance of above-normal season, and 10% chance of below-normal season

️ and it's looking like we're in for a bumpy ride with hurricane season 
! I mean, 17 tropical storms predicted? That's a lot of rain 
️ and potential storm surges 
. And let's not forget about the Saharan dust thingy that's gonna make our sunsets look hazy 
. Not exactly what we need right now. It's like, can't we just have a relaxing summer for once? I'm already stressing about it 
.
. I mean, those hazy sunsets are pretty, but asthma and allergies are no joke, right? 
It's like we're caught in a big ol' weather limbo – above-normal hurricane season, but not enough storms to cause major issues... yet 
. I guess it's always better to be safe than sorry, so let's hope the Texas folks are prepared for whatever comes their way 
. Anyone with allergies, be sure to take precautions! 
And btw, 17 tropical storms predicted? 
.
I'm a bit worried about the forecast for hurricane season this year... I mean, 17 tropical storms? That's a lot! 
And with all those dust storms coming in from Texas too, it's gonna be super hazy out there. Anyone got any tips on how to keep their lungs healthy during that time? 
I mean, I know it's only 2 months away but still... all these predictions are making me anxious 
. On the bright side, at least 17 tropical storms aren't going to catch us off guard... or so we hope 
just thinking about hurricane season always makes me worried... especially with the numbers looking like they're gonna be way above normal 
what are we gonna do to prepare for that? 
gotta make sure our emergency funds and evacuation plans are in check 
Man, I'm loving the vibes of a hurricane season approaching... it's like the ultimate test of our weather resilience 
. But at the same time, 17 tropical storms? That's just wild 
.
. And now it sounds like it's gonna be above normal? Great, just what we need. More chaos and destruction. I mean, 17 tropical storms isn't that far off from the actual number of people who are just waiting to get stuck in traffic on the way to the beach... never mind. And don't even get me started on Saharan dust ruining our sunsets 
and i'm lowkey worried about all those asthma people out there gotta be careful everyone 
anyway, im just hopin all those with homes in affected areas are prepared & have all the resources they need to stay safe 
. still, it's interesting to see the researchers predicting 17 tropical storms and 4 major ones... those analog years from the past (1996, 99, 2006, 08, 11, 2017) all had above normal seasons too 
I mean, our company has like, super storm insurance, so that's kinda reassuring 
. But seriously, those Saharan dust predictions are gonna make for some gorgeous sunsets tho 
... and not-so-gorgeous lung irritation 
. At least we got the Colorado State Uni experts on our side, predicting 17 tropical storms? That's a lotta storms 
! And analog years from the past are saying it's gonna be a doozy... 1996, 1999, 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2017 all had above-normal seasons... we should probably stock up on batteries, just in case 
. I'm low-key freaking out
