A disturbance forming off the southeastern U.S. coast may become the first storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center posted an alert on Monday evening, warning of a "non-tropical area of low pressure" forecast to form within the next few days.

Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. This year, both Colorado State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are predicting an above-average season.

When La Niña sets in during hurricane season, it has the potential to dramatically increase both the number and strength of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin.
