What’s expected this Hurricane Season:

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to have somewhat below-normal activity. Current weak La Niña conditions are likely to shift to El Niño in the coming months, which typically brings stronger wind shear that can limit storm development.

While ocean temperatures are mixed across the Atlantic, El Niño is expected to be the dominant factor this season. Because of this, forecasters are predicting a below-average chance of major hurricane landfalls along the U.S. coastline and in the Caribbean.

⚠️ But remember: It only takes one storm to impact our community. No matter the forecast, preparation is key every single year.

Whether you’re new to the coast or a longtime local, Storm Smart Mondays will help you stay informed, confident, and ready all season long.

👉 Follow along each Monday and take one small step toward preparedness each week.
