After a busy start with three named systems in the Eastern Pacific Basin and one in the Atlantic, the hurricane season appears to be taking a break in the short term. According to the National Hurricane Center, things are rather quiet as the end of June nears with no tropical cyclone formation expected soon.

According to the latest Tropical Outlook issued by the National Hurricane Center for the Atlantic Hurricane Basin which includes the Gulf of America, there are no areas of concern and no tropical cyclone formation is expected at least through to the next 7 days anywhere in the basin.

The National Hurricane Center also issued a Tropical Outlook for the Eastern Pacific today. Like the Atlantic, they don’t believe any disturbance will develop into a tropical cyclone over the next 7 days. However, they are keeping an eye on one disturbance that could form over time. A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form well southwest of the Baja California peninsula during the middle to latter part of next week. The National Hurricane Center says some gradual development of this system is possible beyond that period while it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across. But the odds of development are low; the National Hurricane Center says there’s only a 20% chance of formation over the next 7 days and they don’t offer projections of odds beyond 7 days.

Both the Pacific and Atlantic hurricane seasons continue through to the end of November.
