- Keeping an eye to the Central American gyre for late next week
The 2026 hurricane season's initial activity in the eastern Pacific includes Hurricane Amanda and two developing systems. A Central American Gyre (CAG) is expected to form by mid to late next week, potentially influencing tropical development in the Atlantic, western Caribbean, and southern Gulf. Models suggest increased storminess near Mexico's Yucatán and possible heavy rainfall for the Gulf Coast.
