Tropical Threats Monitored in Atlantic and Pacific
US · Published Sep 18, 2026
Forecasters are closely monitoring multiple tropical systems across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, with varying chances of development.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), two areas in the Atlantic are under observation, though neither has more than a 30% chance of forming into a tropical cyclone within the next seven days.

Impact & Risks

The Atlantic systems are unlikely to develop into significant threats, with one area near Bermuda already deemed unlikely to form due to unfavorable conditions. However, the Pacific disturbances pose a higher risk, particularly the system near Baja California, which could intensify into a tropical depression over the weekend. These developments could lead to heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential disruptions in affected areas. El Niño's influence is expected to heighten Pacific activity while reducing Atlantic hurricane risks. (Source: Newsweek, 18 Sep 2026)
