The National Hurricane Center is tracking a tropical system in the central Atlantic that has a high probability of becoming a tropical depression within the next week. Environmental conditions appear favorable for development, with forecasters giving the system a 70% chance of formation within 48 hours and an 80% chance within seven days.

A new tropical storm could form in the Atlantic this week and continue the 2025 hurricane season’s backloaded burst of tropical activity. Even though fewer storms tend to form now, in the late-season, history has shown how devastating they can be, particularly since development areas shift closer to land.

Parts of Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. can continue to see impacts from Tropical Storm Lorena through the weekend.
