Invest 98L is expected to strengthen and develop into a tropical depression or Tropical storm Melissa over the next few days, NHC forecasters say.

For the first time in 10 years, no hurricane has made landfall in the U.S. through the end of September. Here's why.

With Hurricane Humberto positioned to Imelda’s east, that helped weaken the western edge of the Bermuda high just in time, causing Imelda to slow down. The two storms also orbited around a shared center point, in what meteorologists call the Fujiwhara effect.

Melissa will likely form in the Caribbean by mid-week. There is still a lot of uncertainty beyond that, but here’s what we know now.

The Fujiwhara effect is rarely seen in the Atlantic Ocean, and though it's still not a sure thing, Tropical Storm Humberto's forecasts are already being impacted by a nearby tropical wave.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves: A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 25W from the western Cabo Verde Islands southward, and moving west around 17 mph. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is found from 04N to 13N between 21W and 30W.

Hurricanes and other systems don’t often find themselves in a tropical traffic jam in Earth’s vast oceans, but there are consequences when they do get all up in each other’s business.

Hurricane Imelda is approaching Bermuda, while former Hurricane Humberto has weakened and is no longer a threat. Imelda is expected to strengthen before bringing hurricane conditions, heavy rain, and a dangerous storm surge to Bermuda. Coastal areas in ...

Invest 98L in the eastern Caribbean is expected to strengthen into a tropical depression or tropical storm over the next few days.

The two massive tropical systems swirling off the Southeast coast are a stark reminder that the potential government shutdown looms during the middle of the Atlantic hurricane season. Weather forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and disaster response specialists at the Federal Emergency Management Agency are planning to keep working during the shutdown — as has been the case in previous shutdowns — but a lapse in government funding is still likely to disrupt storm preparedness and response efforts for hurricanes and other disasters,
