The tropical Atlantic has a new area to watch for possible development over the next week. Meanwhile, an Omega block pattern will bring big changes in the weather across the nation.

September's typical hurricane peak goes silent in Atlantic. Are stronger storms coming later? Stay informed and prepared.

The tropics are awakening from their midseason slumber. In the Atlantic, a tropical wave is forecast to emerge off the west African coast in the next couple of days. "Environmental conditions could support some slow development of the system over the weekend into early next week," the National Hurricane Center said Sept. 11.

Atlantic hurricane season has hit a September speed bump. The season’s peak will pass this week with no active storms for the first time in nearly a decade.

As the complex moves into the open Atlantic, slow development is possible later this weekend into early next week. The National Hurricane Center is giving this area a low development chance. Forecast models are uncertain as to whether it will develop.

A day after the peak of hurricane season, a new tropical disturbance has popped up in the eastern Atlantic. What to know in Texas.

And today the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Hurricane Center displays that most optimistic of Atlantic basin forecasts: an empty map labeled “no disturbances”—an indication that meteorologists don’t expect any tropical activity of note within the next seven days.

The Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf are still quiet, but a disturbance forecast to move off Africa tomorrow has a chance of eventually developing.
