The National Weather Service is urging Rio Grande Valley residents to prepare for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.
The weather service recently released a preparedness guide for the hurricane season, which begins June 1st. Forecasters are predicting a below-normal hurricane season, though this year’s tropical cyclones could still threaten lives and cause millions of dollars in damage.
More information about preparing for the season is available on the Brownsville-Rio Grande Valley NWS website.
