FOX Weather is kicking off the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season with a full slate of live programming, expert interviews, and viewer Q&As during Hurricane Week, which runs May 31 through June 6.
The free ad-supported streaming weather service says the week is designed to help viewers stay informed and prepared as hurricane season begins. FOX Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross will lead much of the coverage, including a live special from Miami with meteorologist Ian Oliver.
FOX Weather Hurricane Week brings live coverage all week
Hurricane Week officially begins as the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season gets underway, and FOX Weather is using the moment to spotlight education, preparation, and real-time storm science. The goal is to help viewers understand how storms form, how forecasters track them, and what families can do now to get ready before a major storm threatens their area.
The streamer’s coverage will feature a mix of:
- live specials,
- in-depth interviews,
- viewer Q&As,
- and behind-the-scenes looks at hurricane forecasting and response.
Special programming starts June 1 with live Miami coverage
One of the biggest events of the week takes place Monday, June 1, at 8 p.m. ET, when Bryan Norcross and Ian Oliver host an hour-long live special from Miami. The broadcast will include interviews with experts from the National Hurricane Center and a practical look at the steps people should take to prepare for hurricane season.
That same week, FOX Weather will keep the momentum going with several more themed specials:
- Tuesday, June 2, 8–8:30 p.m. ET: Norcross goes inside the cockpit with the famous hurricane hunters, the crews who fly directly into storms to gather critical data.
- Wednesday, June 3, 8–9 p.m. ET: Norcross and FOX Weather meteorologist Bob Van Dillen host Hurricane HQ&A, a live special built around viewer-submitted questions.
- Thursday, June 4, 8–8:30 p.m. ET: FOX Weather meteorologists Steve Bender, Kiyana Lewis, and Ari Sarsalari present Hurricane IQ, a look at the forecasting tools and technology behind modern hurricane tracking.
Why this matters for viewers
Hurricane season can move fast, and the first big mistake many households make is waiting until a storm is already in the forecast to prepare. FOX Weather’s Hurricane Week is meant to get ahead of that problem with easy-to-follow information and expert guidance. The weeklong event useful for anyone in hurricane-prone areas, especially viewers who want:
- plain-English preparation tips,
- updates from real meteorologists,
- access to National Hurricane Center expertise,
- and a clearer understanding of how hurricane forecasts work.
For cord cutters, it is also another reminder that weather news is increasingly available through free and streaming-first platforms, not just traditional cable.
