Tropics quiet 1 day ahead of hurricane season peak

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on the tropics as we head into the peak of hurricane season. He says no tropical formation is expected within the next seven days. Weber added that there are several plumes of Saharan dust working their way off the coast of Africa, which usually keeps things quiet. According to Weber large areas of dry air also help to keep tropical storms at bay. However, he does note that it is not unusual to see pauses in the tropics and then see them ramp up like they did last year.
