Tropical update: No expected developments in Gulf
Saharan dust continues to be widespread and thick across the Atlantic basin. This will limit tropical activity for the rest of the month. The National Hurricane Center is not expecting tropical development over the next seven days.
Tropical update: When could systems develop
No tropical systems are expected to develop over the next 7 days in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico. Saharan dust remains thick and widespread and will limit tropical activity for the rest of July. But dust is expected to decrease in August which will likely mean more tropical systems developing. There's a very low 10% chance for a tropical system to develop in the eastern Pacific south of southern Mexico over the next week.
Tropical update: Little activity with Saharan dust
Saharan dust is thick right now across the Atlantic basin and that means very limited tropical activity for the next week. In fact, no tropical systems are expected to form in the next 7 days. Two disorganized tropical waves in the Eastern Pacific only have a low chance for tropical development. The area of low pressure in the western E. Pacific only has a 10% chance. The other disturbance south of S. Mexico has a low 20% chance for tropical development as it moves W/NW.
Tropical update: No tropical cyclones expected
Saharan dust remains thick across the Atlantic basin and no tropical cyclones are expected over the next week. Two systems in the Eastern Pacific have a low chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm over the next 2 to 7 days. But they will be moving away from the United States. Don't let your guard down as we are still expecting a very busy hurricane season as we get into August and September.
Tropical Forecast: Tracking system in the Pacific
With the abundance of Saharan dust across the Atlantic basin, tropical systems are not expected to develop for at least the next week. There's a medium chance a tropical depression or storm could form in the western east Pacific over the next 2-7 days. But this system is moving away from the US, Mexico & Central America.
Tropical Weather Forecast: Cyclone formation halted
Saharan dust is about to cover the Atlantic Basin this week. Tropical cyclone formation will be difficult. The National Hurricane Center is tracking several tropical waves.

It's fairly quiet still across the Atlantic Basin. High pressure and Saharan dust are helping to keep things that way for several more days. But there are a few tropical waves being tracked by the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical Update: Tropical activity quiet in Gulf
Gulf of Mexico should remain quiet through the weekend with no tropical activity expected. Area of low pressure near the Carolina coast is not expected to form into a tropical system since it is close to moving on to the Carolina coast. But it will bring heavy rain & the threat for flooding to the Carolinas. In the eastern Pacific, a tropical wave is producing disorganized showers and storms west of Central America. It has a LOW 20% chance for development over the next week.
Tropical Update: No development seen in the Gulf
No tropical activity is expected for the Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico over the next few days. There's a low 10% chance of a tropical system forming off the east coast of Florida. But any major development is unlikely as this area of low pressure drifts towards the US this weekend. In the Eastern Pacific, there's a low 20% chance of tropical development over the next 7 days with a tropical wave near Nicaragua moving west at 10-15 mph.
