Alvin becomes first named storm of 2025 Hurricane Season

While the official start of the hurricane season kicks off a couple of days from now, we already have our first named storm of the year.

Tropical Storm Alvin formed in the Eastern Pacific off the coast of Mexico. The system has winds sustained at 40mph and is expected to strengthen throughout today and tomorrow.

The National Hurricane Center is currently forecasting this system to increase to roughly 70mph winds. If this forecast holds, Alvin would come just shy of the 74mph requirement to be upgraded into a hurricane.
