About two-thirds of all Atlantic hurricane activity typically occurs between August 20th and October 10th. We're heading through the heart of Atlantic hurricane season, and we certainly have activity that indicates an uptick in energy. Currently, we are monitoring three areas of interest!<h1>Fernand</h1>Tropical Storm Fernand is still drifting northeast. Other than potential passing ships, it's well enough east of Bermuda to not be much of a concern.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-27 063344-1756298038041.png">Anyone with European plans might want to monitor Fernand, because it's following in some eerily similar footsteps as Erin. Here's where Erin is ending up:<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1960166825234432478" src="https://x.com/CIRA_CSU/status/1960166825234432478"></div><h1>Eastern Pacific</h1>Tropical Storm Juliette is still spinning in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. It's going to make a run at becoming a hurricane over the next day or so, but should remain well enough offshore to stay harmless.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-27 063434-1756298085879.png">We now are watching THREE other areas of interest, aside from Juliette. None of these look like they'll threaten land, with the most unique being the one passing south of Hawaii. If it forms past the 140 W line, it will officially knock off ANOTHER name from the Central Pacific basin list, Lala.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-27 063510-1756298131467.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-26 062903-1756211360503.png"><h1>Next Few Weeks</h1>The tropics in the Atlantic have a chance to stay active through the first week of September. While a large-scale Kelvin Wave isn't likely to spur activity like it has over the last two weeks, additional tropical waves could develop in the Atlantic and the Gulf/Western Caribbean. During this time of year, any development will need to be monitored closely.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-21 051407-1755774861734.png">Stay with WeatherNation for the latest.

Taban Sharifi grew up in Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego. She is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). She has a B.S. in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Go Bruins! While in school, Taban was a meteorology intern with NBC LA. There she helped forecast daily weather for the greater Los Angeles region and created a playbook to deploy weather sensors for NBC owned-and-operated stations across the country. Her first on-air job took her to San Angelo, Texas, where she was a morning meteorologist and co-anchor. Working in West Texas gave her knowledge and experience covering severe storms. From there, she moved to Palm Springs, California. People think forecasting in California is sunshine all the time, but with temperatures in the 120’s, wildfires, damaging winds, floodings, and earthquakes, the forecasting kept her very busy! She also worked there as a general assignment reporter and told community stories. Taban is excited for the challenge and opportunity to forecast nationally with WeatherNation. She also looks forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer!
