An Atlantic hurricane season defined by political and climate disasters comes to a close on November 30th. It kicked off after DOGE's flurry of slashes to federal agencies. Employees who stayed on endured a tumultuous year, to say the least, at the National Weather Service (NWS). A series of strong storms brewed in the Atlantic this season. But for the first time in a decade, no hurricane made landfall in the US - sparing most Americans the worst of the season.
Hurricane forecasters warn that the US East Coast could feel the wrath of two tropical cyclones at the same time next week. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) revealed their updated tracks for a pair of tropical disturbances brewing in the Atlantic, giving both a high likelihood of turning into named storms within seven days. One of these threatening weather systems, currently dubbed Invest 94L, is expected to form right off the coast of Florida.
The storm is currently 150 miles northeast of Anguilla with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, moving west-northwest at 20 mph. Tropical storm watches are in place for St. Martin, St. Barts and St. Maarten.
