Tropical Weather Update – July 11, 2025
So far, there are no indications of any tropical systems to threaten our area over the next several days. It’s normal to go through quiet periods in the month of July. But by the end of the month and into August, it becomes much more likely that we’ll see the season’s first hurricane. August and September are typically the busiest months of our hurricane season that runs until the end of November.

In the meantime, once we get past the chance of tough weekend storms, we’re looking for a gradual warm up next week and could see upper 90s for highs.
