Tropical Storm Ivo Weakens in Pacific as Atlantic Remains Calm, Forecasters Urge Coastal Preparedness

The past 24 hours have seen the National Hurricane Center closely monitoring storm activity across the Pacific, with particular attention on Tropical Storm Ivo in the Eastern North Pacific. As of the latest advisory, Ivo’s center was located near latitude 21.5 North, longitude 114.9 West, slowly tracking northwestward. Forecasters expect Ivo to gradually weaken, likely transitioning to a post-tropical system by the end of the weekend. While Ivo remains over open waters and does not currently threaten land directly, marine warnings remain in effect for much of the Eastern Pacific, cautioning vessels of high winds and rough seas. Impacts to populated coastal regions are minimal for now, but the situation is being monitored for any notable shifts in the storm’s track or intensity.

In the Central Pacific, the remnants of what was previously Tropical Storm Henriette continue to dissipate, and the system has lost significant organization according to the National Hurricane Center. The latest outlook indicates no immediate threats to Hawaii or other islands, though marine interests are advised to stay alert as the post-tropical system moves westward.

Meanwhile, in the Atlantic basin, the situation remains calm. As of early Sunday, no tropical cyclones are present in the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center reiterate that the Atlantic hurricane season officially runs through November 30, 2025, and highlight predictions for an above-normal season, urging residents in coastal areas to maintain preparedness. There are no active warnings or watches for the Atlantic region at this time, and no new systems are expected to form in the next few days.

Across the southern United States, particularly in Texas, local National Weather Service offices report typical summertime thunderstorms but no direct tropical threats affecting the Gulf Coast this weekend. Scattered storms are expected mainly along and south of I-10, but these are unrelated to any tropical activity.

Looking Ahead: Forecasters will continue to monitor the weakening Ivo in the Pacific as it slides northwest, with primary attention on any shift that may increase marine hazards. The Atlantic remains in a lull, but with the mid-August historical uptick in activity approaching, all eyes will be on the tropics for signs of new development, especially with the above-normal season outlook from NOAA. Coastal residents and marine interests are encouraged to follow updates from the National Hurricane Center and local officials as the season progresses.
