Tropical Storm Chances After AI Forecast Tool Spots Something in Atlantic
Summary
An artificial intelligence (AI) weather tool has detected a possible sign of an early tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean before the official hurricane season starts on June 1. While the chance of a storm forming is low, meteorologists say coastal areas should still stay prepared because powerful hurricanes can happen anytime.Key Facts
- The Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30.

- The AI tool found a low-confidence hint of a tropical system 8-10 days out in the southwestern Atlantic.
- Experts expect a below-average hurricane season this year due to El Niño, which increases wind shear that can weaken storms.
- A "homegrown" storm near the U.S. East Coast could form if warm water meets a stalled cold front.
- The last pre-season tropical storm was Ana in May 2021, which did not hit land.
- The NHC currently monitors no active tropical storms in the Atlantic or Pacific.
- Coastal communities are advised to stay ready despite predictions of fewer storms.
