A hurricane-free September, and a Central American Gyre to watch in October
Melanie Black's look at a broad Caribbean gyre led a Saturday of Key West record rain, Colorado fog and Hurricane Nolo's long Pacific trek.

Tropical Mischief? Central American Gyre Could Stir Some Atlantic Action in October
Will the Atlantic wake up before the season ends? That was the question FOX Weather put front and center on Saturday, and its answer drew the most viewers of the day's uploads. "Tropical Mischief? Central American Gyre Could Stir Some Atlantic Action in October" starts from an unusual fact: September went by without a single Atlantic hurricane. The video then points south, to a broad gyre over Central America that could funnel moisture into the Caribbean and the Gulf and open the door to something new.
The comment section reads like a small weather club. One viewer lays out the history, naming Karl in 2022 as the last storm born from such a gyre, and another wonders whether El Niño is steering the whole season. A few simply want to talk about the presenter, Melanie Black.
The rest of Saturday's batch stayed close to the ground. Fog swallowed parts of Colorado. Key West broke an 83-year-old rainfall record and watched cars wade through flooded streets. Dark clouds and red flags hung over Orange Beach, Alabama, as a flash flood threat rose across a Southeast that badly needed the rain. Far out in the Pacific, Hurricane Nolo kept strengthening west of Hawaii on a trek the description puts at about 6,500 miles.
Fifteen uploads went up over the seven days, and the channel gathered a little over seven million views, the third most among the news channels nearest its size, behind Hook Global and DRM News. Its daily pace has eased a long way from its usual one, which may simply be what a hurricane-free stretch looks like for a channel built around storms.
