The National Hurricane Center is tracking three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin. Hurricane Kiko could bring life-threatening surf and rip currents to Hawaii. The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season arrives Sept.

Kiko was a Category 1 hurricane in the North Pacific Ocean early Monday Hawaii time, the National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory. Kiko is the 11th named storm to form in the Eastern Pacific in 2025.

The first Atlantic hurricane of the season brings heavy rain and life-threatening surf and rip currents to the U.S. East Coast this week.

Usually, the second week of September is buzzing with tropical activity. This year, though, the Atlantic hurricane season is snoozing. Here's why that's happening and some perspective on what lies ahead.

Erin has become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season with strong waves and rip currents possible along the East Coast of the United States as early as next week.

"We expect tropical storm Gabrielle to form by the end of this weekend or early next week," AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said.

Tropical Storm Lorena is churning in the Pacific, bringing the possibility of life-threatening conditions and other hazards to parts of Mexico. Parts of the southwestern U.S. could also see some impacts from the storm, which was previously a hurricane.

Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, is forecast to strengthen into a major Category 3 hurricane over the weekend.

National Hurricane Center meteorologists warned of life-threatening impacts as the storm is expected to strengthen.

As of Saturday, Kiko weakened to a Category 3 hurricane some 1,000 miles east of Hawaii. Forecasters expect it to lose steam as it pushes northwest.

Hurricane Kiko continues to strengthen as a Category 4 storm as it moves west towards the Central Pacific basin.
