Stay informed with FOX Weather as your go-to source for hurricane updates. A layer of Saharan dust is currently blanketing the tropical Atlantic, drying out the atmosphere and cooling down water temperatures. Strong winds in the eastern Atlantic are also disrupting tropical development. While fringe storms like Andrea, Barry, and Chantal could still form, there are no imminent threats. Keep an eye out for the last remnants of Chantal passing through eastern New England today, bringing heavy tropical downpours. Even after this system moves on, expect continued humidity along the mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast. While tropical disturbances are emerging from Africa and a moisture surge heads towards the Bahamas, no significant development is expected at this time. Remember that past years have seen late starts to hurricane seasons, like in 2022. So, let’s appreciate the calm in the tropics for now.
