The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season kicks-off this weekend; while it is forecast by meteorologists at NOAA and experts at CSU to be an extraordinarily busy one, the start should be quiet with no tropical cyclone formations expected over the first week of the season. In today’s Tropical Outlook released by the National Hurricane Center, they said no storms are expected to develop over the next seven days. The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season begins on June 1 and runs through to November 30.

While no tropical cyclone formation is expected, there are scattered weather systems and cloud clusters across the basin.  A far-eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 22W from 02N to 12N, moving westward around 15 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is from 05N to 08N between 20W and 25W all over open water. A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 41W from 02N to 11N, moving westward 15-20 kt. Isolated to scattered moderate convection is noted mainly behind the wave axis from 05N to 10N
between 35W and 40W.  A third tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean with axis near 67W extending southward into central Venezuela where the wave is helping to induce some convective activity. It is moving westward at 15 kt.
