Tropical Storm Brewing in Caribbean, Potential Threat to Central America and Florida

As of November 4th, 2025, meteorologists are closely monitoring an area in the Southwestern Caribbean where warm ocean waters and low wind shear could provide the necessary conditions for a tropical storm or hurricane to develop. According to AccuWeather, if such a storm were to form, Central America and Cuba would be at the greatest risk of impact. However, there is also a possibility that the storm could curve toward Florida, placing the state at low risk of tropical storm-related wind and rain impacts.

The Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1st, is set to persist through November 30th. So far this year, there have been 13 named storms. While November storms are relatively infrequent, occurring about once every other year on average, AccuWeather meteorologists have noted an uptick in late-season tropical activity in recent years, likely due to warmer sea surface temperatures.
