Tropical Weather Forecast: Watching area of low pressure in Atlantic
A broad area of low pressure has developed off of the Southeastern US. Coast. However, there is only a very low 10% chance over the next two to seven days that it would turn into a tropical depression or tropical storm. The next name on the list is Bertha, but this is likely going to happen at this point. This system could spread some showers and storms down towards parts of Florida over the next few days. The rest of the tropics are quiet across the Atlantic Basin.

Tropical Weather Update - Saharan Dust limiting tropical development
Saharan dust remains spread across the Atlantic and Gulf, helping limit tropical development for now. That dusty air should keep any organized tropical systems from forming nearby. The Saharan dust is actually expected to get even thicker by early next week so the tropics should remain quiet through the first part of July. However, the peak of hurricane season is not until September and hurricane season runs all the way through the end of November. That is why it is always important to stay alert the entire season.
