”Tracking Tropical Remnants and Potential Storm Development in the Atlantic and Pacific”

Tropical activity in the Atlantic over the past 24 hours has centered on the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, which recently made landfall over the Yucatán Peninsula and eastern Mexico. According to the latest advisories from the National Hurricane Center, Barry has weakened into a tropical depression after bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall to coastal regions in Belize and Mexico. Rainfall accumulations have led to localized flooding concerns, but so far, no major damage or casualties have been reported. The last advisory for Barry was issued early this morning, signaling the system’s dissipation as it moves inland. Communities in affected areas are urged to monitor for lingering flooding hazards due to saturated ground and ongoing rain bands associated with the remnants of the storm[1][2][7].

Further out in the Atlantic basin, there are no immediate threats from other developing storm systems. The National Hurricane Center continues to issue routine updates every six hours or more frequently if conditions warrant. As of now, there are no coastal hurricane watches or warnings in effect for the United States or Caribbean territories[2][3][7].

In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Flossie has drawn attention with its sustained winds of around 45 mph and a west-northwestward track. Flossie is forecast to remain mostly offshore, with marine warnings already posted for parts of the Eastern Pacific. Mariners are advised to exercise caution due to gusty winds and rough seas, but direct impacts to populated coastal areas are not currently expected[2][7].

NOAA’s seasonal outlook, presented shortly before the start of the hurricane season, remains in sharp focus. Forecasters anticipate a notably active 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, with a 60 percent chance of above-normal activity and up to 19 named storms possible, at least six of which may strengthen to hurricane status[4]. This prediction underscores the importance of preparedness, especially for coastal communities stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic seaboard.

Looking Ahead, while the Atlantic remains quiet for now outside of Barry’s remnants, forecasters are vigilant for early signs of further development throughout the basin as conditions become more favorable in July. The National Hurricane Center is also closely tracking the progression of Flossie in the Eastern Pacific, where sea surface temperatures and atmospheric patterns could foster additional storm formation. Residents in hurricane-prone regions are reminded to stay alert for frequent updates from NOAA and local authorities as the heart of the season approaches[2][7][4].
