Many people have written off the 2024 hurricane season as a bust. But experts say now more than ever, it's important to keep your guard up.

Florida professional meteorologists gather to prepare virtual attendees for this season's most active weeks ahead. Classes are offered each day, 4 times a day at different times.

A tropical disturbance with a low chance to develop to our east, and a stationary front bring higher storm chances in the coming days.

After a rash of rip current deaths in Florida, officials are urging people to stay extra vigilant the remainder of the holiday weekend as distant Hurricane Beryl churns up the surf along the Gulf Coast and southeastern U.S.

A heat advisory is in effect across most of the southern tip of Florida until Friday evening.

Beryl continues to hammer Jamaica on Wednesday, then the Cayman Islands. Long-term forecasts vary in final track and intensity.

After a deadly end to the month of June with rip current deaths, there will be a few days of calmer conditions before dangerous rip current risks arrive for the 4th of July holiday weekend.

Forecasters warn that Hurricane Beryl could be a sign of a very hyperactive hurricane season that is already one for the history books.

The NHC said that fluctuations in strength are common in major hurricanes in conducive environments, and it is expected that Beryl will also fluctuate in strength for the next day or so. There is high confidence that Beryl will remain an extremely dangerous hurricane through landfall in the Windward Islands.

Saturday afternoon, Tropical Storm Beryl intensified into a hurricane and was expected to quickly reach major storm status. A relatively quick westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the system is expected to move across the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday.
