As we near the peak of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, one question on many minds is why it has been so quiet? About two-thirds of all Atlantic hurricane activity typically occurs between August 20th and October 10th. With only a handful of named storms and only one major hurricane through late August, the sluggish pace stands in stark contrast to what many seasonal forecasts had warned would be an active year. So, what's causing the delay?<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-27 180634-1756339602479.png">Several key factors are at play in this unusually slow start. First, the Main Development Region (MDR) of the tropical Atlantic, where most storms form during peak season, has been cooler than expected. While still slightly above average, it falls short of the record-breaking warmth seen in 2024. Meanwhile, waters in the subtropical Atlantic are significantly warmer, disrupting the usual energy gradient that helps fuel storm formation.Atmospheric conditions have also been unusually hostile to storms. Persistent wind shear across the Gulf and Caribbean has torn apart developing systems before they can organize. On top of that, the upper atmosphere has remained unusually warm and stable, effectively placing a lid on the kind of deep convection hurricanes need to grow. Add in frequent plumes of dry, dusty air from the Sahara, and the result is a storm-suppressing cocktail that’s kept the basin eerily calm.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-27 072548-1756301167707.png"><h1>Next Few Weeks</h1>However, do not let your guard down. The National Hurricane Center has issued an outlook for a wave off the coast of Africa. The area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms is supposed to emerge off the coast of Africa this weekend, and the NHC is giving it 20 percent chance of development in the next 7days. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 045902-1756378755631.jpg">All it takes is one hurricane to make it a memorable season. The tropics in the Atlantic have a chance to stay active through the first week of September headed into the second week. While a large-scale Kelvin Wave is not 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 2025-08-27 121008-1756318217179.png"><h1>Eastern Pacific</h1>Juliette is also now a post-tropical cyclone in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Juliette's moisture will move into the desert southwest and bring the potential for flooding across the region as it is accompanied by monsoonal moisture that has been plaguing the region or the past several days.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 050627-1756379191961.jpg">The Eastern Pacific has been pretty active again. THREE other areas of interest, aside from Juliette. None of these looks like they will 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 2025-08-28 050802-1756379293211.jpg"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-26 062903-1756211360503.png">Stay with WeatherNation for the latest.

A New Area to Watch in the Atlantic

Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

A pair of low pressure systems tracking south and east from the Rockies will bring rounds of intense rain to areas across the Southern Plains, Mississippi, and Gulf Coast. Isolated to scattered severe storms are possible as well, with wind and hail damage as the main concerns, though a tornado cannot be ruled out.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 070037-1756386279097.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 070429-1756386288868.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 065233-1756385725754.png">Storms will continue through Thursday across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas before riding the warm front farther southeast into Friday. By Friday, the focus of thunderstorms will be closer to the Gulf Coast. During afternoon heating, we will have the highest chance for some of these storms turning severe, though overnight storms could still pose a risk for flash flooding.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/2025-08-28 06-52-58-1756385772489.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Rainfall totals may lead to flash flooding for some, so flood alerts have been prompted for Kansas and Missouri.

Residual moisture from Tropical Storm Juliette will move into the desert southwest. Southern California can run into some trouble with flooding concens on Thursday. However, there is no excessive rainfall outlook from the weather prediction center as of now. Parts of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado between Thursday and Friday will also receive some of this remnant moisture. The moisture will extend upward over an upper-level high and push into the southern plains as well. This moisture will mix into existing Monsoon moisture across the region.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 072805-1756387704794.png">Rainfall</h1>Up to 1 inch of rainfall is possible with Juliette's remnant moisture. Cities like San Diego, Las Vegas, St. George, Salt Lake City, and Grand Junction can expect some rain. Areas over burn scars are particularly concerning due to the fact that it does not take that much rainfall to cause mudslides and debris flows.<h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-28 072841-1756387735526.png">Timing</h1>Most of the moisture streams across the Southwest Region between Thursday and Friday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/2025-08-28 07-26-17-1756387617627.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Drought</h1>The moisture will help many drought-stricken locations.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/TOMER SW DROUGHT UPDATE-1756341786689.jpg">Tune into the Western Regional forecast :50 past the hour for more details.

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!

Hurricane Erin was the first major Hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season, and even though Erin did not make direct landfall in the U.S., impacts were still felt across the eastern seaboard. Hurricane Erin once had a wind field that spanned over 500 miles, and the size of Erin previously made it rank among the top 10% of the largest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded. With the latest update, the National Hurricane Center has deemed Erin to be post-tropical.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-22 211426-1755918872154.png">Coastal flooding remains an issue. Despite staying offshore, the storm’s effects have rippled up and down the East Coast of the United States, prompting emergency responses from North Carolina to Massachusetts. Larger waves will continue for the Northeast, with life-threatening rip currents. Flooded highways will still be one of the biggest concerns moving forward, especially as high tide approaches.&nbsp;Alerts for coastal flooding have been extended up the Atlantic Seaboard up to the Maine coast.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-22 211444-1755918891648.png">Erin will continue to weaken and move away from land.

It has burned over 137k acres. Most of the poor air quality has been locked up in western Colorado, fluctuating at times. This fire is likely soon to become Colorado's third-largest wildfire in state history, needing fewer than 2k additional acres to top the size of the Pine Gulch Fire, which burned during the historic 2020 season in the Centennial State.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-17 093907-1755445152104.png"><h1>DRAGON BRAVO FIRE</h1>One of the largest fires in Arizona history, the Dragon Bravo Fire, has continued to smolder along the northern rim of the Grand Canyon.

The heat dome that affected the southwest for a while has moved over to the plains. Low pressure has shifted over the west, and the flow around the high pressure out east is pulling monsoonal moisture into the Four Corners, leading to showers and thunderstorms. Friday brought some monsoon storms and a daily maximum rainfall record for Prescott, AZ where over a half inch of rain fell down. More storms are expected this weekend.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot 2025-08-16 052858-1755343754239.jpg">The best chance for showers and storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours. It is possible for a few overnight storms in the Desert Southwest. The main threats from the storms will be some gusty winds and heavy rainfall.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/08/New Baron Video 3-1755397803756.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Over the next seven days, we are forecasting approximately one to two inches of rain in some locations.
