Insights and Preparations from Flash Weather AI

Navigating the 2025 Hurricane Season

Now that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is underway, staying informed and prepared is essential, especially after the devastating 2024 season, one of the most active and costly on record. For example, Hurricane Milton was a Category 5 storm with 160 mph winds, highlighting the destructive potential of hurricanes. 

Forecasts suggest another above-average season in 2025, marking the tenth consecutive year of heightened activity. Flash Weather AI is harnessing cutting-edge artificial intelligence to deliver precise, timely hurricane forecasts, empowering communities across the U.S. East Coast, Gulf Coast, and Caribbean to stay safe. 

2025 Hurricane Season Forecast 

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is projected to be above average, according to leading meteorological organizations. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts 13–19 named storms, with 6–10 becoming hurricanes and 3–5 reaching major hurricane status (Category 3–5) (NOAA Forecast) 

Colorado State University (CSU) forecasts slightly higher activity, expecting 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes (CSU Forecast). The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which measures total seasonal activity, is estimated at 95–180 by NOAA and around 155 by CSU, compared to the 1991–2020 average of 123.

NOAA estimates a 60% chance of above-average activity, a 30% chance of near-normal activity, and a 10% chance of below-average activity. CSU projects a 51% chance of a major hurricane making landfall along the U.S. coastline, higher than the historical average of 43%. The East Coast, which hasn’t experienced a major hurricane landfall since Hurricane Florence in 2018, faces an elevated risk, underscoring the need for preparation. 

The Science Behind the Season 

Several environmental factors contribute to the forecast for an active 2025 season: 

  • Warm Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs): The Atlantic Ocean remains warmer than average, fueling storm development. Though cooler than 2024’s record highs, these temperatures still support hurricane formation. Weather expert @webberweather notes that this could increase threats to the U.S. East Coast (X Post). 
  • La Niña Transition: The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is expected to shift to neutral or weak La Niña conditions, reducing wind shear and enhancing storm formation, particularly toward the U.S. East Coast (NOAA). Recent analog years support this outlook, as highlighted by @philklotzbach (X Post). 
  • Strong African Monsoon: A robust African Monsoon is anticipated, producing more tropical waves that may develop into hurricanes. 
  • Historical Analogues: The 2021 season, with similar conditions, reinforces expectations of above-average activity. 

These factors create a favorable environment for hurricane formation and intensification, posing challenges for coastal communities.

Essential Hurricane Preparation Tips 

Preparation is vital to minimizing hurricane risks. Here are actionable steps to protect yourself, your family, and your property: 

  • Family Planning: Develop an evacuation plan with routes and meeting points, ensuring all family members, especially vulnerable individuals like the elderly or those in mobile homes, are accounted for. For detailed guidance, visit the American Red Cross Hurricane Preparation. 
  • Emergency Kits: 
    • Go-Kit: For evacuation, include 3 days’ worth of water (1 gallon per person per day), non-perishable food, medications, first aid supplies, flashlight, batteries, and pet care items. See the Team Rubicon Hurricane Checklist for a comprehensive list. 
    • Stay-at-Home Kit: For sheltering in place, stock 2 weeks’ worth of supplies. The Constellation Hurricane Supply List provides detailed recommendations. 
    • NOAA Weather Radio: Include a battery-powered NOAA Weather Radio with S.A.M.E. alerts—models like Midland’s WR120B or the PRUNUS J-161. For a complete list of receiver types and authorized vendors, see NOAA’s NWR Receivers page. https://www.weather.gov/hnx/wxradio 
  • Communication: Stay informed with NOAA Weather Radio, sign up for emergency alerts, and keep devices charged with backup power sources. The American Red Cross offers resources on staying connected. 
  • Financial Readiness: Update insurance policies and document property with photos or videos for claims. Refer to the AGC Hurricane Resources for financial preparedness tips.
