1 area being watched for development

No named storms right now. The National Hurricane Center gives the most likely of these a 20% chance of forming a tropical cyclone within 7 days. A chance of forming is not a forecast track — it says nothing yet about where a system would go.

Only Atlantic systems appear here. The National Hurricane Center is also tracking Rachel and Nolo in the Pacific. Pacific storms form on the other side of Mexico and do not reach Crosby.

Areas being watched

The National Hurricane Center tracks these for possible development before they get a name. A percentage is the chance a tropical cyclone forms at all — not a track, and not a statement that it would reach Texas.

Hurricane season and Crosby

Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, peaking mid-August to mid-October. Crosby sits about 35 miles inland — far enough that storm surge isn't the local threat, close enough that hurricanes still hit hard here. The dangers that reach Crosby are inland rain flooding (Harvey in 2017 flooded homes along the San Jacinto and Cedar Bayou), damaging wind, tornadoes spun off by landfalling storms, and days-long power outages.

A watch means conditions are possible within 48 hours — finish preparations. A warning means they're expected within 36 hours — preparations should be done and it's time to follow official instructions. When a storm threatens the Texas coast, local watches and warnings for Crosby appear on the alerts page, and river levels are on the water page.
