Forecasters are tracking three Atlantic systems. Will any part of the U.S. coast be under a hurricane watch before Aug 25?
52% of users predicted YES — the community missed this one. 23 predictions cast.
No hurricane watch was issued for any part of the U.S. coastline before Aug. 25, 2026, even as the National Hurricane Center tracked multiple areas of interest in the Atlantic through late August. Two disturbances were active in the basin in the days before resolution: a system that strengthened into short-lived Tropical Storm Cristobal well east of Bermuda, and additional low-pressure areas that forecasters flagged for possible slow development in the central and eastern Atlantic.
None of the systems tracked toward a path threatening the U.S. mainland with hurricane-force winds within the resolution window, and NOAA's mid-August seasonal update maintained its call for a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season overall.
The lack of a coastal hurricane watch continued a quiet stretch for the U.S. this season relative to the historical average pace of activity for late August, traditionally among the Atlantic's most active weeks.
Predict Six's community had leaned narrowly toward a watch being issued, assigning it a 52% chance, essentially a coin flip that ultimately resolved no.
