In the past 24 hours, official updates from NOAA and the National Hurricane Center confirm that the Atlantic basin currently has no active tropical cyclones, as last reported by the National Hurricane Center’s early morning discussion. Tropical waves are present, including an eastern Atlantic wave along 28W moving west at about 15 to 20 knots, producing moderate convection between 05N and 15N, and another in the central Atlantic near 43W, moving slightly slower with only a few associated showers. Additional waves in the eastern and central Caribbean are tracked near 71W and 81W respectively, both moving west at about 10 knots, but showing limited convective activity as of the latest analysis. Despite these tropical waves, none have developed into organized storm systems as of this morning, and there are no hurricane watches, warnings, or active advisories for the Atlantic or Caribbean at this time according to both the National Hurricane Center and recent tropical outlooks.

Turning to the Pacific, Tropical Storm Keli persists in the Central Pacific near 13.1N, 151.7W, moving westward at 18 mph. Keli maintains maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and a minimum central pressure of 1006 mb. Forecasts indicate that Keli is expected to maintain its current intensity and westward track, remaining over open water without threatening land for the immediate future. Meanwhile, farther south of Hawaii, Hurricane Iona became the first major hurricane of the Central Pacific season, but it too remains well offshore and poses no threat to land at this time.

Beyond tropical systems, severe heat continues to impact parts of the eastern United States. The National Weather Service issued heat advisories for much of New Jersey, northern Delaware, and eastern Pennsylvania, warning of high heat indices reaching 100 to 105 degrees and the accompanying risk of heat-related illnesses. Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds are possible from the I-95 corridor north and west this afternoon and evening. Excessive rainfall could bring flash flooding to parts of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and northeast Maryland from Thursday onward, prompting residents to remain alert for rapid changes in local weather.

Looking ahead, forecasters continue to monitor clusters of thunderstorms and several tropical waves moving across the Atlantic for any signs of organization that could signal future storm development. In the Pacific, Keli and Iona will be watched closely, particularly if any shift in trajectory brings potential hazards closer to land. Regions under heat advisories and severe storm outlooks should prepare for continued hazardous weather through at least Thursday, with local updates expected as conditions evolve.
