Tracking the tropics:

There is no tropical activity in the Gulf, Caribbean or Atlantic Ocean. The Saharan dust has been very heavy across much of the tropical Atlantic and that is keeping things very quiet.

Another factor in keeping the tropics quiet is huge plums of Saharan dust that are helping to snuff out any development from tropical waves at this point.

10-day Forecast:

We stay in this active storm pattern through the week. The increase in rain means lower than normal temperatures. 95° is our average this time of year.
