What to expect during the 2025 hurricane season | Tracking the Tropics

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) -- The tropics are mostly calm as hurricane season gets off to a quiet start.

Today on Tracking the Tropics, our team of meteorologists will kick off our seventh season by breaking down what we can expect in the tropics this year.

Plus, we'll take a look at an area off the Florida coast with a chance for development. Regardless of development, it has the potential to bring some moisture to the coast of the southeastern U.S.

The National Hurricane Center on Monday highlighted an area off the coast of the southeastern U.S. for potential development. A non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to form there.

The system has a chance of gradually developing tropical or subtropical characteristics if it remains offshore. It has a very low chance of development over the next week.

The first tropical storm of the season will be named Andrea.
