Atlantic quiet, Pacific busy | Tropical Weather Forecast
The Atlantic Basin remains quiet for now. All of the action is in the Pacific Ocean with 3 named storms. Here is the latest on Gilma, Hone, and Hector.
Tropical update: Disturbed weather in Gulf possible
The Atlantic basin remains quiet overall with no tropical cyclone expected to develop over the next week. Some models are trying to put some disturbed weather in the Gulf of Mexico next week.
Tracking 2 Pacific storms, no activity in Atlantic
Atlantic basin is still quiet with no tropical storms or hurricanes expected across the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico over the next 5-7 days. Models are hinting that a weak disturbance could develop in the Gulf next week. That would mean more waves of moisture heading our way. So it definitely looks like our rain chances will be going up for most of next week. In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Hone could impact the big island of Hawaii this weekend, but hurricane Gilma is not expected to be a threat for now.

Elsewhere, everything is pretty quiet across the Atlantic basin. There’s a sizable plume of Saharan dust that has moved into the Atlantic Ocean, so for now activity is going to be limited, but we are getting into the busiest time of the year so by the end of this month and especially September , we still expect a flurry of tropical activity.
