Tropical Weather Forecast - Atlantic basin remains quiet, but don't let down your guard!

So far this hurricane season, Saharan dust has dominated across the Atlantic resulting in a lack of many strong tropical waves and a quiet pattern. In the short-term, no storms are expected, but as we head into August and especially mid-August, expect a more active tropical pattern for the Caribbean, Gulf and Atlantic. September is typically the busiest month of the Atlantic basin hurricane season.
