Tropical Development Likely in Atlantic and Pacific Amid Strengthening El Niño
Tropical Development Likely in Atlantic and Pacific Amid Strengthening El Niño
US · Published Aug 10, 2026
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two disturbances in the eastern tropical Atlantic, with one showing a medium chance of developing into a tropical storm or hurricane.
The first disturbance is disorganized and faces challenges from strong upper winds, while the second, currently over Africa, is expected to move into the Atlantic by Tuesday, carrying significant moisture.

Impact & Risks

The Atlantic disturbances are not currently expected to pose a significant threat to land, though the second disturbance could develop into Tropical Storm Dolly if conditions allow. In the Pacific, a developing system may impact Hawaii, with the potential to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas. Residents in Hawaii should monitor updates closely as the system's path and intensity remain uncertain. The strengthening El Niño could also lead to increased activity in the Pacific, potentially affecting coastal regions.
