Tropical Outlook
Tropical storms and hurricanes could develop over the next week, but chances are low. Tropical waves are common during this time of the hurricane season, but will likely not survive due to unfavorable conditions like dry air and wind shear. There are currently two areas for possible development by the National Hurricane Center. One with a low chance for development and another with a medium chance during the end of the upcoming week. Continue to stay alert as hurricane season runs through the end of November.
