Are there any hurricanes heading toward the U.S.?

Asked 9 hours ago

Answer

There are currently no hurricanes directly heading toward the U.S., but there are systems to monitor. Hurricane Lorena is impacting Baja California and may bring rain to southern New Mexico and the southern plains. Hurricane Kiko is approaching Hawaii but is expected to weaken before possible landfall. A tropical wave in the Atlantic has a high chance of development and could potentially impact the U.S. in over a week, but its track remains uncertain.
