Atlantic Storms Brewing This Week | Virginia Beach News

A brewing storm system south of the Cape Verde Islands is gaining attention, with a 60% chance of becoming a tropical depression by the end of the week as it picks up a wave from West Africa. Meanwhile, another system west-northwest of Bermuda is fizzling out with just a 10% development chance. With only two named storms so far in 2026—Arthur and Bertha—the season remains quiet, matching NOAA’s forecast of 7–13 named storms, 2–6 hurricanes, and possibly no major hurricanes. The real threat? Peak hurricane season is still ahead, from mid-August through mid-October. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
