The Labor Day Holiday Weekend has arrived and it looks like one unwanted visitor won’t be around for it: tropical cyclones. While we are approaching the typical peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, the Atlantic basin is fairly quiet. Not only are there no tropical cyclones around the U.S. East or Gulf of America Coasts, but there are no named storms anywhere in the basin.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring one disturbance coming off Africa, but that only has a 30% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next 7 days; elsewhere, no tropical cyclone formation is expected anywhere in the basin making it a very quiet Labor Day Holiday weekend when it comes to tropical storms and hurricanes.

According to the National Hurricane Center, the tropical wave is forecast to emerge off the west coast of Africa on Sunday. Thereafter, environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system while it moves westward to west-northwestward at around 15 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic next week.

The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs through to the end of November.
