There is no tropical activity for Florida's forecast for the next week as the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season nears.

Tropical Storm Alvin formed Thursday, just one week after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above-average hurricane season this year.

Faizan Zaki, 13, of Texas, has been named the champion of the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. He was the runner-up in last year’s bee and on Thursday beat out eight other students to win the Scripps Cup.

Zaki bested Sarvadnya Kadam in the 20th round to win the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday night. He sealed the deal by nailing éclaircissement, running out of breath and collapsing to the floor as confetti fell on him and the crowd erupted.

Zaki, who was last year's runner-up, had correctly spelled "Chaldee," a dialect of the Biblical Aramaic language, in the 20th round. But under spelling bee rules, Zaki needed to land one more word in a solo round to claim the trophy.
