🌀 TROPICAL STORM BARBARA FORMS IN EASTERN PACIFIC – FORECAST TO BECOME SEASON’S FIRST HURRICANE 

The 2025 Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season is officially underway with the formation of Tropical Storm Barbara, which developed early this morning south of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) now forecasts Barbara to strengthen into the season’s first hurricane within the next 48 hours.

📍 Location & Track (as of 7 PM CT)

• Currently located several hundred miles south of Mexico’s Pacific coast
• Moving generally west-northwest, away from land
• Expected to stay over open waters, posing no immediate threat to coastal Mexico

🌀 Forecast Outlook:

• Barbara is in a favorable environment for strengthening
• Rapid intensification possible by Tuesday
• Forecast to reach Category 1 hurricane strength by midweek

🌊 ATLANTIC BASIN REMAINS QUIET 

Meanwhile, conditions remain calm across the Atlantic Basin, including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America. The National Hurricane Center is not expecting any tropical development over the next 7 days — and likely longer.

📭 As of now, no invests, disturbances, or low-pressure systems are being tracked in the Atlantic. The basin continues to show strong signs of sinking air and dry Saharan dust, which is typical for early June and continues to suppress tropical activity.

✅ TNW HURRICANE OPERATIONS REMINDER

While the Eastern Pacific season has begun to ramp up, TNW’s Hurricane Operations Division continues 24/7 monitoring of all global tropical basins. No tropical threats to the continental U.S. are expected this week, but now is a great time to review your emergency plans ahead of peak season (August–October).
