Hurricane season 2025 begins: What you need to know
SUMMARY: The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, starting June 1, is expected to be above average, with forecasts predicting 13-19 named storms, 6-10 hurricanes, and 3-5 major hurricanes. This is due to an ENSO-neutral pattern, meaning neither El Niño nor La Niña is present, allowing storms to form more easily with warm Atlantic waters. The National Hurricane Center has improved forecasting with longer lead times (72 hours), smarter models, a smaller cone of uncertainty, extended wind forecasts, and better communication tools. Though inland, the CSRA should prepare for heavy rain, flooding, and wind impacts. Residents are advised to review emergency plans and stay alert.

SUNDAY WEATHER: Hazy sunshine, stray late day shower
SUMMARY: Saturday night’s hazy, milky sky is caused by Canadian wildfire smoke drifting into the Southeast, lingering into Sunday without surface air quality issues. June begins warm with mid to upper 80s, sun, and clouds. A weak cold front may trigger isolated, non-severe showers or storms north of I-20 Sunday afternoon, fading after sunset as dry air moves in. Sunday night offers a chance to see the Northern Lights in the CSRA due to a strong geomagnetic storm. Monday and early week will be sunny and dry with highs in the upper 80s. Humidity and rain chances rise Thursday through next weekend, with more showers and storms expected Sunday.
