Buzzline

Tropical Storm Amanda is the inaugural named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, with forecasters indicating that the subsequent system, Boris, may escalate into a significant hurricane aimed at Mexico's Pacific coastline in a matter of days. With unusually warm Pacific waters contributing to swift growth, AccuWeather predicts a heightened likelihood of a major hurricane making landfall this week. The Gulf of Mexico and the southwestern coast of the US are still within the extended threat area. Those planning trips to Mexico or coastal regions should stay updated as the paths of both storms change quickly.
