The Blake Moia Show 2025 Hurricane Outlook: What to Expect, Potential Impact Areas, How to Prepare
April 15, 2025 -- 05:25am By: Joe Cantoras // The Blake Moia Show Certified Chief Meteorologist
Hurricane season officially begins on June 1, 2025, and will end on November 30, 2025. In advance of, and during, each hurricane season, several forecasts of hurricane activity are issued by national meteorological services, scientific agencies, and noted hurricane experts. These include forecasters from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Climate Prediction Center, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR), the United Kingdom's Met Office, and Colorado State University (CSU). The forecasts include weekly and monthly changes in significant factors that help determine the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a particular season.
On April 3, 2025, Colorado State University (CSU) released its forecast, which predicts an above-normal hurricane season with 17 named storms, nine hurricanes, and four major hurricanes, with an ACE index of 155, citing extremely warm Atlantic Sea surface temperatures and a weakening La Niña transitioning to a neutral phase by summer.
HOTSPOTS
Of those storms, three to six could be a direct hit to the U.S. In its forecast, AccuWeather warned that Texas, Louisiana, Florida and North Carolina face a higher risk of direct impacts this year than other states.
This year, the Gulf of America side of Florida is at an increased risk of hurricanes. Meteorologists within the tropical community examined 12 analog years, or years with similar weather patterns as the coming season and identified where the storms struck during those years.
Eastern Florida has been quiet in recent years when it comes to direct hurricane landfall. Despite this, The Blake Moia Show urges everyone to be aware when it comes to tropical storm and hurricane impacts, regardless of where they live in the Sunshine State.
While the Gulf seems to be this season's hotspot for hurricanes this season, other hotspots include the Carolinas and New England for landfalling hurricanes and storms.
HOW TO PREPARE
To prepare for a hurricane, create an emergency kit, develop an evacuation plan, secure your home, and stay informed about weather warnings. Make sure to stock up on essentials like food, water, and first aid supplies, and review your insurance policies.
While we are ahead, it would be a good idea to have your roof inspected, and if needed, repaired by a certified and licensed roofer. Hurricane harden your property with rock, and soil along flood areas and adding a fresh layer of paint to your home to help with water intrusion.
