Jim Cantore Warns 'Different' Storm Is Approaching U.S.
Jim Cantore Warns 'Different' Storm Is Approaching U.S. originally appeared on The Spun. Iconic U.S. weatherman Jim Cantore is warning that a "different" storm is approaching the United States. The legendary Weather Channel star is monitoring a tropical storm that is expected to make landfall. The National Hurricane Center shared details on the storm on Monday morning. Tropical Storm Dalilia is the fifth named storm of the season. However, Cantore believes that it will be different than the previous four. The National Hurricane Center issued an official alert on Monday morning, June 16: 6/16/2025: #Dalilia has dissipated, but another area in the eastern #Pacific is likely to become a #TropicalDepression within 48 hours. Hazardous winds and seas are possible, regardless of tropical development, offshore El Salvador, Guatemala, and southern Mexico with this low. Cantore, meanwhile, believes that it will make landfall. Cantore, who has more than 1.3 million followers on X, suggested that the storm will make landfall. "Some of the hi rez models really develop this before landfall. Our 5th named storm will be much different than the previous 4. This one is very likely coming ashore," he wrote. Heavy rainfall is expected, which could cause flash flooding in some areas on the West Coast. From the National Weather Service: Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible across portions of the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, and Michoacán today, with localized storm totals up to 9 inches near the coast. Any instances of flash flooding and mudslides should decrease today. Our thoughts are with everyone in the storm's path.

Hurricane Erick Update: Tropical Storm Strengthens in Pacific
Tropical Storm Erick has formed in the eastern Pacific and is forecast to intensify into a hurricane as it approaches the southern coast of Mexico. Erick marks the fifth named system of the 2025 eastern Pacific hurricane season and could become the first to make landfall, according to Fox Weather, with a projected path carrying it toward southern Mexico by the end of the week. As of 6 a.m. CST on June 17, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that Erick was located approximately 430 miles southeast of Punta Maldonado, Mexico, with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour and moving west-northwest at 12 mph. The growing storm threatens heavy rainfall, strong winds, and life-threatening flooding across parts of Mexico and Central America. According to the NHC, areas in the path of Erick—including Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Guerrero—could see up to 15 inches of rain in some locations. Coastal regions of Guatemala and parts of El Salvador are also under threat of rainfall. The NHC warned that tropical storm-force winds extended 45 miles from the center of the system. It also said that a hurricane watch was in effect from Bahias de Huatulco to Punta Maldonado, and a tropical storm watch extended eastward to Salina Cruz. Forecasters predict that the system will move northwest as the week progresses. It could reach hurricane strength on Wednesday, according to the NHC. AccuWeather meteorologist Jesse Ferrel, Tuesday on X (formerly Twitter): "We think Hurricane Erick could hit Mexico stronger than Cat 2. Will moderately affect Acapulco which was devastated by Otis 2 years ago, but main effects far to the east. Near landfall, there could be 125 mph winds & 20 inches of rain." Meteorologist Jim Cantore, Tuesday on X: "Soon to be Erick in the eastern Pacific has everything it needs to intensify and that will accelerate over the next 24 hours and beyond. Some guidance makes it a Major Hurricane. Guidance has shifted west enough so Acapulco is in play. This is not Otis and it's coming in at a whole different angle, but certainly expect some impact weather. New package from NHC may have updates to intensity and track. Rapid development from many of the reliable models occurs with this storm." The NHC said a hurricane warning would likely be required for a portion of the Mexican coast later on Tuesday.

Tropical Storm Alvin Path Map, Update For Hurricane Season's First Storm
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A forecast map shows the expected path for Tropical Storm Alvin as it moves through the Eastern Pacific southwest of Mexico. Why It Matters Alvin became the 2025 season's first named storm after forming on Thursday. Its arrival comes after forecasters previously indicated that the 2025 hurricane season would be above normal. What To Know The storm is forecast to keep moving northwest and may deliver heavy rainfall and strong winds to the southern coast of Baja California Sur, particularly in elevated areas, AccuWeather said in an advisory shared with Newsweek. A map from AccuWeather shows the forecast path for Tropical Storm Alvin. A map from AccuWeather shows the forecast path for Tropical Storm Alvin. AccuWeather Alvin is forecast to maintain tropical storm strength through Saturday, though it is projected to weaken as it nears southwest Mexico. Strong winds and heavy, flooding rain will likely be limited to areas near the coast of Baja California Sur, the outlet said. The intense rainfall could lead to landslides and travel delays, particularly in higher elevations along the southern coast, it added. Bob Larson, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather previously told Newsweek that while the Eastern Pacific hurricane season has already begun, Tropical Storm Alvin has arrived slightly earlier than normal. The first tropical storm of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season typically forms around June 10. While Alvin developed earlier than usual, Larson said it is not considered "unprecedented." What People Are Saying Fox Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross said: "The Eastern Pacific season kicked off right on schedule. The ocean water off the southern coast of Mexico is always quite warm, and this year the atmospheric pattern over that part of the ocean is quite conducive for development. "Alvin has a good chance of intensifying significantly over the open water. As it tracks farther north, however, the water cools quickly. So, if Alvin affects Cabo San Lucas or nearby areas in northern Mexico, for example, it looks likely to be a weakening storm." Meteorologist Jim Cantore said on X, formerly Twitter on Friday: "Alvin caught in the southwest deep flow and getting sheared and pushed by the dry air around the base of the trough. Alvin's time as a TS is numbered, but the eventual moisture, rain and the 20-30 degree cool down in the southwest will be welcome." #Alvin caught in the southwest deep flow and getting sheared and pushed by the dry air around the base of the trough.

Monday severe weather outbreak: Strong tornadoes, very large hail possible in Minnesota
The severe weather threat that we've been discussing daily for the past week has arrived and dangerous storms are still on track to happen in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa on Monday. "A regional severe weather outbreak still appears possible across the Upper Midwest, with a threat of strong to intense tornadoes, very large hail, and swaths of damaging winds," said NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in an update issued at 7:37 a.m. Monday. Sign up for our BREAKING WEATHER newsletters After morning storms move out of the area, the atmosphere will be primed for explosive development and the SPC expects storms to erupt near the South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa borders between 1-3 p.m. CT. Those storms will then march to the east, bringing a threat for damaging winds, very large hail and tornadoes. "This environment will be conditionally favorable for long-track supercells with strong/intense tornado potential if a discrete mode can be maintained," the SPC warns. The Weather Channel's famous Torcon Index has the Twin Cities metro at a 7 on a scale that maxes out at 10. The Twin Cities office of the National Weather Service lays out what could happen really well in today's forecast discussion. For starters, there's almost certainly going to be a squall line that develops and moves across southern Minnesota during the afternoon, but if discrete cells erupt ahead of that line, then significant tornadoes could occur. The squall line could still produce tornadoes, but the odds of there being a long-track, strong tornado aren't as high as they are when supercell storms remain isolated. You can see in the latest HRRR model that the squall line moves through, but it doesn't show any discrete cells popping ahead of the line. That doesn't mean they won't, and if they do, it could be bad. "Fast moving storms will all hazards will evolve into the upper MS Valley later today and tonight. This will be the main show. Still some bust potential with it, but the focus should stay on the TORNADO potential that is driving the moderate risk today from SPC," says The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore. "Supercells or QLCS line will be moving very fast so there will be little time to verify, which as humans we like to do. Just act when a WARNING is issued. Trust the forecaster and just know your safe place." We'll be tracking the situation throughout the day and will be operating a live blog with updates, so check back for the latest.
