Hurricane season is underway, but the Atlantic Basin remains quiet. What's going on out there? Since the start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center has reported no tropical cyclone development (aside from a tropical wave or two) in the Atlantic Basin - an area that includes the tropical Atlantic Ocean,

We are now a couple of weeks into the Atlantic hurricane season, and things have been quiet so far. But activity is already ramping up in the Pacific.

Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released in late May forecasts a 60% chance of an above-average hurricane season, with 13 to 19 named storms expected, including 6 to 10 hurricanes and as many as five major hurricanes.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, including one in the western Caribbean.

A developing tropical cyclone is given a name when it reaches sustained winds of 39 mph, and it becomes a hurricane at 74 mph.

The low-pressure area the NHC has been monitoring off Florida's eastern coast will bring heavy rain to the Carolinas before fizzling out.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical waves in the Atlantic: Tropical wave 1: A tropical wave located at 37W from 02N-12N in the central Atlantic is moving west at 11 mph. Tropical wave 2: A central Atlantic tropical wave east of the Caribbean Sea has its axis along 57W south of 17N, is moving west at 11 to 17 mph.

The first hurricane in the Pacific doesn’t typically arrive until the last week of June. Three have been named so far this season.
