Behold, the “super” El Niño! Ahem…a forecast for a strong El Niño. But if it’s “Mighty” Casey at the Bat, then we’re going to win the game! Right? RIGHT?!

Hurricane Expert John Morales gives a rundown of the named storms of 2025.

The diminished ability to study, monitor, forecast, warn for, and recover from more intense hurricanes and other hazards like flooding, heat waves and wildfires was—and continues to be—a source of unease, NBC6 hurricane specialist John Morales writes.

Direct or indirect, one excess death brought on by a storm is one too many. But it’s important to flesh this out further because I fully expect Jamaica’s death toll to surge because of the indirect and likely long-lasting effects of Hurricane Melissa.

Melissa, now an infamous hurricane, will see its name retired by the World Meteorological Organization. It’s the third strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin, the strongest observed so late in a season, the strongest to make landfall by windspeed and by pressure, and the third in 2025 to intensify by at least 70 mph in 24 hours.

Melissa’s menace to the Greater Antilles is growing.

The Atlantic basin will be quiet through this weekend, and the National Hurricane Center does not expect tropical cyclone activity during the next seven days. Down the road, we will be monitoring an easterly wave currently located southwest of the Cabo Verde islands.
