Weekend Weather Update: Invest 91L in Atlantic on track for further development
Welcome to the Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather. It's June 28, 2025. Start your day with everything you need to know about today's weather. You can also get a quick briefing of national, regional and local weather whenever you like with the FOX Weather Update podcast. Odds are increasing that an area of showers and thunderstorms over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula could briefly develop into a tropical depression later this weekend as it enters the southern Gulf of America before it crashes back into Mexico's East Coast. The National Hurricane Center has so far designated the broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Yucatan Peninsula as Invest 91L. Baseball-sized hail is among the dangerous threats posed by severe thunderstorms expected across parts of the Upper Midwest Saturday. A low pressure system will develop across the northern Rockies and High Plains on Saturday, pulling in moisture from the south into the Dakotas, making the atmosphere quite humid. With the Fourth of July fast approaching, a record-breaking 72.2 million Americans are preparing to travel for the holiday, according to AAA. However, long-range forecasts indicate that a cold front may bring widespread storms to the northern Plains and Southeastern US on the Fourth, and there is even an outside potential for a home-grown tropical system to develop close to the Southeast coast during the holiday weekend, according to the FOX Forecast Center. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is continuing to monitor the development of an area of low pressure in the Eastern Pacific that's expected to become at least a tropical depression this weekend, on its way to possibly eventually becoming Tropical Storm Flossie.

Satellite Image Shows First Named Storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tropical Storm Andrea spun to life this week as the first named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, though the system quickly fizzled out. Satellite images captured its brief swirl over the open Atlantic. Why It Matters Though short-lived, Andrea became the first named system of the Atlantic hurricane season when it formed on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific has seen a more active start to the season, with several systems already having been named. What To Know Satellite imagery shared by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Satellite and Information Service on Wednesday showed the system spiraling over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. We've had our first named storm of the 2025 Hurricane Season! Tropical Storm #Andrea formed yesterday and quickly dissipated. Did you know that NESDIS' Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) plays a role in hurricane preparedness? Their satellite data products and… — NOAA Satellites (@NOAASatellites) June 25, 2025 The system formed Tuesday but quickly weakened into a post-tropical area of low pressure, Fox Weather reported. No land areas were threatened by the system, the outlet said, adding that Andrea remained over the open north Atlantic Ocean, some 950 miles west of the Azores. It also noted that the system marked the farthest north and east a tropical system formed in the Atlantic in June since 1851. AccuWeather meteorologist Adam Douty told Newsweek prior to Andrea's formation that strong upper-level winds were disrupting the system, which would likely prevent any "substantial or lasting" development. "If it does officially become a tropical depression or tropical storm (per the National Hurricane Center), if would be short-lived as it gets swept up into the North Atlantic," Douty said in a Monday email to Newsweek. "It would dissipate by the middle of the week." What People Are Saying The National Weather Service said on X on Wednesday: "Yesterday, Tropical Storm Andrea became the first named storm of this Atlantic Hurricane season. Andrea was short-lived and well out to sea, but served notice that Hurricane season is here. Now is the time to prepare your home and family, before the next storm threatens our coasts." NOAA Satellites said on X Wednesday: "We've had our first named storm of the 2025 Hurricane Season! Tropical Storm Andrea formed yesterday and quickly dissipated." Hurricane specialist at Fox Weather Bryan Norcross wrote on X on Wednesday: "If you took a long nap Tuesday, you missed Tropical Storm Andrea. In any case, now we wait for Barry. The 2025 tropical delay continues... and will likely last into July." Meteorologist Jonathan Stacey said on X on Tuesday: "Tropical Storm Andrea has formed in the Atlantic—the first named storm of the 2025 hurricane season. It's far out between Bermuda & the Azores and no threat to land. It should weaken by tomorrow. Stay aware—hurricane season is here." What Happens Next The Atlantic hurricane season spans from June through November.
