NOAA has released an updated Outlook for the Atlantic Hurricane Season.

The outlook slightly decreased their forecast for the expected number of named storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes.

NOAA predicts 13-18 named storms, 5-9 hurricanes, and 2-5 major hurricanes for the 2025 season. The forecast continues to favor an above-normal season with 14 named storms as the average.

So far, the season has produced four named storms and no hurricanes, but, as Chief Meteorologist Denis Phillips says, "It only takes one."

There are some truly inspiring people who call the Tampa Bay area home. People who overcome odds that others could not even imagine. Tampa Bay 28 anchor Lauren St. Germain met a woman who is doing just that, as she competes at an international level after 2 life-saving lung transplants.
