Tropical Weather Forecast - Atlantic basin remains quiet for now

The Atlantic remains unusually quiet for late August, with no organized tropical threat to Texas right now. There's a very low chance a brief weak tropical or subtropical system could form in the NE Atlantic over the next few days. But it is headed towards Portugal and Spain and is not a threat to the U.S. Another area near the island of Bermuda will likely stay away from the east coast of the U.S. We will continue watching the tropical wave train in the eastern Atlantic as activity typically increases heading toward the peak of hurricane season in September.
