NBC 6’s Angie Lassman has the latest on what looks to be an active week in the Atlantic.

This week marks the historic peak of Hurricane Season each year. Saturday is also the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Irma’s landfall on Cudjoe Key in South Florida on Sep. 10, 2017.

The much anticipated Atlantic hurricane season awakening is here. Or is it? You already know about the remarkably slow start to the 2022 season.

The conversation of hurricane season preparation usually ramps up in late-May, then quickly fades in the month of June. July isn’t much better, if it’s even mentioned at all. But as August is now here, I’ll ask once more: “Are you prepared for hurricane season?” The single greatest catalyst to preparation is experience. The next best is motivation. Personally,...

As we come to the end of July, the tropical Atlantic remains in a prolonged dormant stretch. The last tropical storm was named Colin. It was very short-lived, lasting all of one day, and dissipated near the Carolinas on July 3rd. I can pretty much guarantee that we will blow past August 3rd without any new storms forming. It is…

With the onslaught of forecasts pointing to an above-average season, one may be wondering just when the season will show its face.
