On the tropical scene… Hurricane Lowell will pull away from western Hawaii Tuesday. Atlantic tropical storm development is unlikely all week. September 11 is the latest date for the first Atlantic hurricane formation in the modern era. Looks like this record will break!
The Atlantic has produced zero hurricanes so far in 2026 and, with no threat development areas on this September 8, it’s exceedingly likely this season will break the record for latest first hurricane. pic.twitter.com/uAIR7xwM2a
