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.
