Hurricane season is expected to be milder than usual this year. But that's not stopping cell phone companies from pulling out all the stops.

Forecasters expect 8 to 14 storms will form in the Atlantic between June 1 and November 30. But the danger is more serious than the numbers suggest.

The Caribbean storm — among the most powerful in history, with 185 mph winds — is expected to bring flash-flooding and landslides as it slowly moves across the island and heads north toward Cuba.

The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Imelda could intensify as it approaches the East Coast. South Carolina's governor declared a state of emergency.

We’ve arrived at the peak week of hurricane season — the traditional midpoint of the Atlantic’s yearly activity is September 10 — but you wouldn’t know it from the current Tropical Weather Outlook.

Hurricane Erin exploded in strength to a Category 5 storm in the Caribbean before weakening on Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said.

The major storm threatens to unleash destructive winds near where the eye crashes ashore, flash floods and a dangerous storm surge, forecasters said.

The research took a different route than most other studies, which tend to focus on rainfall.

Ernesto strengthened into a hurricane as it dropped torrential rain on Puerto Rico and left nearly half of all clients in the U.S. territory without power as it threatened to become a major storm en route to Bermuda.

Debby is expected to bring up to 25 inches of rain across parts of the Southeast. It's currently creeping over Georgia to the Atlantic Ocean, expected to return to shore this week with more strength.

Debby came ashore about five miles west of Steinhatchee, along the state's Big Bend region. It arrived with sustained winds of 80 mph, and is expected to cause flooding across much of the Gulf Coast.

If it becomes at least a tropical depression, the system would be named Debby.

The National Hurricane Center's deputy director joined GPB to discuss the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

Forecasters expect between 17 and 25 named storms in the Atlantic Ocean during the 2024 season, about half of which are likely to become hurricanes.

The research gives preservationists “a sense of how to plan” in the face of climate change.
