We look back to 2000 to see how many hurricanes and tropical storms have threatened or impacted Florida in August.

Before Beryl leapfrogged it in 2024, Hurricane Emily set the bar for record early Cat 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin during what would become a historic 2005 hurricane season.

The probability of at least one continental U.S. major hurricane landfall this season has risen slightly since late May.

While its top-end status only lasted about six hours, Emily became the earliest known Cat 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin and the first to do so in July.

Three named storms have formed so far this season, and experts are tracking a disturbance that could become the fourth.

NOAA predicts the 2025 hurricane season will be “above normal.” A South Carolina city ranks among top places to be affected by hurricanes and tropical storms.

While the National Hurricane Center's map is lit up with a tropical disturbance, Saturday's forecast is much more about the heat index.

The chances for a scattered area of showers and thunderstorms to develop into something more increased overnight, but remain low, forecasters said.
