Tropics Quiet for now

There is no tropical activity to speak of for now, although September tends to be the most active part of the season. According to Dr. Jeff Masters, we should have yet another named storm within the next 7 to 10 days, and that storm or storms could pose a threat to the East Coast and/or Gulf of Mexico after that.

Over the next month or two, the tropics should start winding down, which will bring much needed relief to stricken areas.
