Hurricane forecasters see an 'utter mess' in the Atlantic
A complex weather dance is underway in the central Atlantic Ocean this week as a pair of developing tropical systems try to get their act together.
“There are two tropical waves moving through the Atlantic that may develop this week," said AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva in an email to USA TODAY.
Neither is a named storm yet, so the two systems are dubbed "Invest 93L" and "Invest94L" by the National Hurricane Center.
Although the peak of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season may have arrived later than the historical average, activity is clearly ramping up, forecasters warned Sept. 23.
The developing systems come against the backdrop of what's been a quiet season so far, with no hurricane landfalls in the U.S. this year. The season's second hurricane, Gabrielle, continues to roar far out to sea on its way to Europe.

The system, which had been called Invest 93 at the National Hurricane Center’s last update prior to its formation, organized enough to jump past the tropical depression stage to become a named storm.
Live 5 First Alert Chief Meteorologist Bill Walsh says Humberto could become a Category 2 hurricane over the next few days. He expects Humberto to stay out to sea, well to the east, but the track of a second area being monitored could be a different story.

After completing a right turn just southeast of Bermuda, Hurricane Gabrielle — still at Category 4 strength at midday Tuesday — may still be a hurricane when it moves over or near the Azores on Thursday. The National Weather Service has issued a hurricane watch for the Azores, where such threats arriving from the west are uncommon beasts. Update: The watch for the Azores has been upgraded to a hurricane warning. As of 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Gabrielle was about 1200 miles (1935 kilometers) west of the Azores, moving east-northeast at 25 mph (41 km/h). Top sustained winds had decreased to 110 mph (175 km/h), making Gabrielle a Cat 2 storm. It is predicted to be a Cat 1 hurricane when it sweeps through the Azores early Friday.
