BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina superstar Lionel Messi announced his retirement from international soccer on Monday, ending 21 years of national-team duty that were capped by winning the World Cup in 2022 to secure his place in the pantheon of the game's greatest ever players.

There he directed the agency’s plans for responding to disasters of all kinds, but most importantly hurricanes, for the southeast U.S.
Lowry has 20 years of experience in tropical weather research, forecasting, and emergency management. Prior to joining FEMA, he served as a subject matter expert on hurricanes and tropical meteorology, most recently as visiting scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Hurricane Center (NHC), through its partnership with the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).
Lowry served as on-air Hurricane Specialist and Tropical Program Lead for The Weather Channel (TWC). While at TWC, he provided network coverage for countless hurricanes and nor’easters, filing reports for NBC Nightly News, TODAY, MSNBC, and CNBC.

Other positions have included Senior Scientist at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Alexandria, Virginia, and emergency manager and meteorologist for the Florida Division of Emergency Management, where he provided support for nine presidentially declared disasters, including seven hurricane disaster declarations in 2004 and 2005.
Lowry is the recipient of the 2013 National Hurricane Conference Outstanding Achievement Award in Meteorology. He holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in meteorology from Florida State University.
Un sistema tropical se organiza sobre el norte del Golfo y podría convertirse en una depresión o tormenta tropical antes de tocar tierra en la costa alta de Texas.
A large thunderstorm complex that moved off southeastern Louisiana late last week combined with a mid-level spin over the northern Gulf to produce a small but punchy surface low that could become a short-lived tropical depression or storm later today or early Tuesday before moving inland over the Upper Texas Coast.
La tormenta tropical Dolly, la cuarta tormenta con nombre de la temporada de huracanes del Atlántico de 2026, se formó a última hora de la mañana del jueves sobre el Atlántico tropical central, entre África y el Caribe.
Tropical Storm Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, formed late Thursday morning over the central tropical Atlantic between Africa and the Caribbean.
Una fuerte perturbación tropical que salió de África al comenzar la semana, desde entonces designada Invest 96L por el Centro Nacional de Huracanes, está haciendo su mejor imitación de “La pequeña locomotora que sí pudo” esta mañana y parece estar cerca de alcanzar la categoría de depresión o tormenta tropical en el Atlántico oriental.
A strong tropical disturbance that rolled off Africa to start the week – since designated Invest 96L by the National Hurricane Center – is doing its best Little-Engine-That-Could impression this morning and appears to be nearing tropical depression or storm status in the eastern Atlantic.
Invest 96L, una fuerte onda tropical que avanza lentamente hacia el oeste por el Atlántico oriental, ha mostrado pocos cambios en su organización desde el martes, mientras el respaldo de los modelos para su desarrollo esta semana continúa disminuyendo.
Invest 96L – a strong tropical wave plodding westward through the eastern Atlantic – has changed little in organization since Tuesday as model support for development this week continues to wane.
Los modelos están divididos sobre si la onda tropical más saludable de la temporada hasta ahora podrá sobrevivir a la zona de cizalladura del Atlántico central este fin de semana
The first Cabo-Verde-style storm is taking shape over the eastern Atlantic – a strong disturbance designated Invest 96L by the National Hurricane Center – and could become the Atlantic’s next named storm in the days ahead.
Sería el primer aspirante serio de Cabo Verde en 2026, después del arranque de temporada más lento en casi cuatro décadas. Por ahora, las islas del Caribe no están amenazadas.
After a historically slow start – the slowest in almost 40 years by overall tropical activity – the Atlantic hurricane season will make another attempt to jump start its engine this week, first with a disturbance in the central subtropical Atlantic and then later this week with a strong disturbance rolling westward through the main development region of the deep tropics between Africa and the Caribbean.
Hemos estado hablando mucho sobre los subtrópicos esta temporada de huracanes, la zona de la cuenca del Atlántico que incluye el Golfo y las aguas directamente al este y al norte de Florida y las Bahamas, debido a que han acaparado un poco más de la actividad este año por el dominio de El Niño sobre los trópicos profundos. No sorprende entonces que las tres tormentas con nombre registradas hasta ahora esta temporada de huracanes se hayan originado en esta zona subtropical.
We’ve been talking a lot about the subtropics this hurricane season – the zone of the Atlantic basin that includes the Gulf and the waters directly east and north of Florida and the Bahamas – as stealing a little more of the action this year due to El Niño’s stranglehold on the deep tropics. It’s no surprise then that all three named storms so far this hurricane season have originated in this subtropical arena.
