The Atlantic basin’s second tropical cyclone of 2025, Tropical Depression Two, formed Saturday afternoon over the Bay of Campeche. At this time yesterday, the disturbance that became TD Two was only given a 20 percent chance of development. But as is common in the Bay of Campeche, especially this time of year, the curvature of the coastline resulted in the development of a small low-level circulation. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft confirmed that the circulation is now well-defined, and…

Once a mighty Category 5 hurricane (the earliest in the North Atlantic on record), Tropical Storm Beryl has been slowly strengthening over the Gulf of Mexico, and is expected to make landfall in central Texas early Monday morning as a Category 1 hurricane. Due to dry air and a fairly broad wind field, Beryl has been unable to rapidly intensify over the Gulf of Mexico thus far, but some additional intensification appears likely in the last few hours before landfall….
