Tropical Storm Lorenzo Disappears as Caribbean Watches for Potential New Threat
16 Oct
Summary
- Tropical Storm Lorenzo disappeared from National Hurricane Center maps on October 15, 2025
- Forecasters are monitoring two tropical waves in the Atlantic, but no tropical activity is expected in the next 7 days
- Warm Caribbean waters raise concerns about potential tropical storm or hurricane development in the coming weeks
On October 15, 2025, Tropical Storm Lorenzo disappeared from the National Hurricane Center's maps, with forecasters issuing the last advisory on the system earlier that day. While the hurricane center is keeping an eye on two tropical waves in the Atlantic, no tropical cyclone activity is expected over the next seven days.
However, the lull in activity does not mean the tropics are completely quiet. According to AccuWeather, this time of year often sees tropical development close to Central America, the north-central Atlantic, and the waters surrounding the southeastern U.S. coast. With ocean temperatures in the Caribbean currently the third highest on record, forecasters warn that if a system manages to reach the central Caribbean, it could intensify quickly due to the favorable environmental conditions.
The tropical wave currently being monitored is expected to face some challenges, such as dry air, wind shear, and its proximity to South America, before potentially reaching the central Caribbean late this weekend. If it survives those hurdles, AccuWeather's lead hurricane expert says the wave could "take off pretty quickly" due to the lack of wind shear and exceptionally warm water temperatures in the region.
