Gulf is “Closed” (for now).
Late August into early September is usually busy for our area—think Elena (1985), Andrew (1992), Katrina (2005), Gustav (2008), Isaac (2012), and Ida (2021).

The next week or two looks different: a trough over the eastern U.S. and a ridge to the west should steer any Caribbean/Atlantic systems north and then northeast, limiting opportunities for storms to enter the Gulf. That means no local tropical impacts are expected through the first week of September based on the current pattern.

We’re still in hurricane season—stay prepared and keep checking reliable updates.

ENSO-neutral is most likely through the late Northern Hemisphere summer 2025 (56% chance in August-October). Thereafter, a brief period of La Niña conditions is favored in the fall and early winter 2025-26 before reverting to ENSO-neutral. A La Niña Watch is now in effect.
