Improved storm tracking in 2025

While storms don’t read calendars, the start of storm activity in the Eastern Pacific is considered May 15 while the Atlantic begins growling June 1, with both “storm seasons” lasting until November 30. The National Hurricane Center tracks this storm activity, with changes in 2025 helping to predict the havoc.

First, their advisories may be issued up to 72 hours before a system with tropical-storm-force winds or storm surge is likely to approach land regardless of whether or not tropical storm, hurricane or storm surge watches are issued. In recent years, these advisories were issued no more than 48 hours before a system was likely to bring dangerous wind or water hazards to land.

Also, the cone of uncertainty will be reduced in 2025, with the forecast improvements in the eastern Pacific Basin most noticeable. To put this into context, the forecasts for where a tropical storm or hurricane’s center is in five days will decrease from 220 miles to 213 miles in the coming season. Compared to 2003, the five-day forecast in that year was 323 miles.
