4. 🌀 Hurricane Season Starts Monday — Are You Ready? June 1 is three days away and hurricane season officially begins. The good news: NOAA is forecasting a below-normal 2026 Atlantic season with a 55% probability, driven by developing El Niño conditions — 8–14 named storms with just 1–3 potentially reaching major status. But South Florida knows better than anyone — it only takes one. This weekend is the perfect time to stock your supplies, review your evacuation zone and make sure your family has a plan.
