While the Eastern Pacific has made most of the headlines in the western hemisphere so far this hurricane season, activity in the Atlantic is starting to make some waves. After the quick formation and dissipation of Andrea in the central Atlantic last week, Tropical Storm Barry formed earlier Sunday morning before making landfall Sunday night.<h1>ATLANTIC</h1>Barry made landfall as a tropical depression 15 miles south-southeast of Tampico, Mexico, at 10:00 PM CDT on Sunday night with sustained winds of 35 mph and a central pressure of 1007 mb. Heavy rain and isolated flash flooding will be the main impacts of this system. As far as rainfall totals, Barry, or its remnants, is expected to produce rainfall of 3 to 6 inches, with some areas seeing up to 10 inches. Tropical alerts have been discontinued by the government of Mexico.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-29 203609-1751251164837.png">Systems only get names if they reach tropical storm status (sustained winds over 39 mph) or higher. The next name up on the list in the Atlantic Basin is Chantal.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-29 090213-1751209339048.png">Although the Atlantic is off to a slow start, this is not unusual for June. Historically, tropical activity in the Atlantic does not typically ramp up until later in the summer, particularly in August and September, with the peak occurring around the 15th of September.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot 2025-05-29 104849-1748537876634.png">For now, the quiet beginning to the season is considered perfectly normal.&nbsp;The early season will more often see more tropical storms than hurricanes, but hurricanes can form and impact the United States, so it's <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/hurricane-prep-week-2025">always best to be prepared</a>.NOAA and Colorado State are expecting an above-average season in the Atlantic Basin. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/noaa-predicts-above-average-2025-hurricane-season">Click here to read more.</a><h1>EASTERN PACIFIC</h1>The 2025 Eastern Pacific hurricane season is off to a record-breaking start, with five named storms: Alvin, Barbara, Cosme, Dalila, and Erick. This level of early activity is well ahead of the seasonal average, which typically sees the first named storm by June 10, the second by June 24, and the third by July 6. Dalila forming on the 13th marked the fastest four storms to be named in the basin since record-keeping began, beating 1974, which saw Dolores form by June 14.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-22 205029-1750647070946.png">The Eastern Pacific stays active for the foreseeable future. Thunderstorm activity continues to get better organized, officially becoming Tropical Storm Flossie Sunday morning. This system is forecast to become a hurricane tonight or Tuesday, with locally heavy rainfall possible across southwestern Mexico.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/tropiccccccs-1751322125076.png">With a close approach to the western coast, the Mexican government has posted Tropical Storm Warnings, including Manzanillo, where elevated winds could graze the coastline. When this system gets named, it will be Flossie.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-30 070856-1751288945313.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-29 204919-1751251777205.png">

A cold front is going to tap into a moist air mass, which will result in storms firing off! Dew points in the 60s, hot temps, and the frontal boundary pushing through are creating a formula for strong to severe storms over the next few days.<h1>Severe Weather Outlooks</h1>OVERNIGHT: Storms developed today, and overnight, the SPC has issued a marginal risk for severe storms has been issued from central Pennsylvania through Virginia, and an isolated threat of strong to severe storms will be possible. Damaging winds will be the biggest threat overnight.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/overnighhsss-1751331673720.png">As the cold front moves through on Tuesday, the severe storm risk becomes more widespread from Maine to South Carolina. The SPC has upgraded to a SLIGHT (level 2 out of 5) risk for portions of the DMV, PA, and NJ.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-30 122555-1751307974135.png"><h1>Forecast</h1>Storms have been active on Monday, and storms will continue overnight. The threat shifts east with cities like New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia seeing a severe risk on Tuesday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/norhteaa-1751331477721.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Pockets of heavy rain will be possible, and therefore, flash flooding.

Residents and visitors to the Southeast will have to watch more than fireworks this week as a low pressure system tries to develop toward the holiday weekend, possibly turning into a tropical system thereafter. Regardless of development, heavy rain and rough surf could pose hazards to the region by Friday or over the holiday weekend.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-29 06-52-57-1751201668827.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>As a cold front drops south to end the week, it looks to stall in northern Florida, creating opposing surface winds over very warm Gulf waters. This situation can and has led to the quick development of tropical systems in the past.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-29 065311-1751201687581.png">The WPC is forecasting heavy rain around the Big Bend and Florida's Gulf Coast during the week ahead, which could cause flooding issues in addition to disrupting holiday plans.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-30 070559-1751288768403.png">Temperatures in the Gulf and Atlantic are well above the threshold for tropical development (78 degrees F) and are even 10 degrees warmer in the northern Gulf, where this system could develop by Friday or Saturday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-29 065804-1751201974529.png">The next name for an Atlantic system is Chantal.

AAA is expecting over 70 million travelers to take to the roads and skies over the Fourth of July Weekend. Unfortunately, heavy rainfall could throw a wrench into those plans, as slow-moving systems keep rain chances around.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-30 073837-1751290861562.png"><h1>WEDNESDAY</h1>A busy week of travel will kick off for many as early as Wednesday. If you're lucky enough to get off of work for the last two days of the week and stretch that weekend into 5 days, hopefully showers and storms aren't ruining the start.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-30 074546-1751291335006.png"><h1>THURSDAY</h1>Areas along the Front Range and Upper Midwest look like they'll have some storms to drive around, along with the southeast. Nothing's worse than driving the entirety of your trip through a constant rain, and that could be the case in the southeast.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-30 074603-1751291341398.png"><h1>FRIDAY</h1>Now for the big day. Assuming you make it to your destination dry (or even if you don't) the most important night to keep rain away is Friday. Of course, if you're going to a big show somewhere, it wouldn't hurt to know what the weather cancellation policy is ahead of time or if we're lighting these things off rain or not. Areas that might want to keep tabs on the forecast will be in the Upper Midwest and Southeast.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot 2025-06-30 074249-1751291259702.png"><h1>WEEKEND</h1>Everyone's least favorite part, unless you're tired of your guests, going home! This weekend we'll need to watch the timing of a front moving from the Midwest to the Northeast. That will bring the best shot at storms to these parts but it's too early to know exactly when to plan around the worst of the rain. By then we may have to watch the Gulf for some mischief...Related Article: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/hurricane-center-monitoring-florida-for-tropical-development">Hurricane Center Monitoring Florida for Tropical Development</a><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-30 08-59-00-1751295581874.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>
