The Atlantic hurricane season started June 1st, but so far it's been quiet. We've only seen Tropical Storm Arthur which was expected to drop over 10" of rain in portions of Belize. Last year at this time, two storms had already formed, Subtropical Storm Andrea and Tropical Storm Barry.
The image above shows a tropical wave in the Atlantic that the National Hurricane Center plans to keep an eye on. As of the 8 am advisory, the storm was located about 1000 miles east of the Windward Islands and is moving westward near 20 mph. While some signs of organization are present, NHC says upper level winds are forecast to remain unfavorable for further development.
