When a system starts to develop in the Atlantic, FPREN keeps an eye on it. The map displayed below provides a live feed via the National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—so you can watch closely, monitor the path, and be prepared if necessary long before any storm makes landfall.
NOAA is maintaining its forecast for a below-normal 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, with the expectation of seven to 13 named storms, including two to six hurricanes.
