· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Division of Emergency Management reports that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) anticipates a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season in 2026, influenced by the El Niño weather pattern. Forecasts suggest 8 to 14 named storms, with up to three possibly reaching Category 3 or higher. The hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Officials emphasize the importance of preparedness, noting that even a mild season can still bring significant storms. They advise Texans to have evacuation plans and essential supplies ready, as conditions can change rapidly, especially during peak months from mid-August to late September.
