Florida hurricane-season check for August 28, 2026: At 2:00 AM EDT, the National Hurricane Center was issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Dolly in the central tropical Atlantic. [1] Separately, the Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook states: “Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 7 days.” [1] NHC lists no additional disturbance or formation area, so it reports no per-area 2-day or 7-day formation percentages in this outlook; that is not the same as a forecast that Atlantic conditions cannot change. [1]

Active System: Tropical Storm Dolly

NHC says Tropical Storm Dolly is located over the central tropical Atlantic and is already an active tropical cyclone. [1] Because Dolly is an active storm rather than a formation area, the outlook does not assign it a 2-day or 7-day formation percentage. Current public advisories are available from NHC. [5]

What This Means for the Treasure Coast

For Port Saint Lucie, Jensen Beach, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach, the practical takeaway is to stay aware and keep ordinary hurricane-season preparations current—not to assume Dolly is headed here or that the rest of the season is quiet. [1] [3]

Recheck the official products, and follow local emergency-management instructions if watches, warnings, or evacuation orders are issued. [3]

Practical Hurricane-Season Tech Check

Practical guidance from The IT Guys: Charge power banks, protect important documents and photos with a separate backup, keep critical contacts available offline, enable emergency alerts, and test household or small-business continuity plans. These steps extend federal preparedness guidance but do not guarantee safety or continuity. [3] [4]
