Tropical Atlantic is quiet as we approach peak season

FOX 13 meteorologist Valerie Mills has the latest on the quiet conditions in the tropics.

There are no areas of interest in the Atlantic and things look to remain quiet over the next 7 days.

The tropical wave we’ve been watching, Invest 91L, rapidly died out. Development odds went from 90% to 30% to 0% in about 48 hours.

The wave was battling Saharan dust, strong shear and a hostile environment.

The quiet Atlantic comes just days away from the climatological peak of hurricane season, which is on September 10.

So far this season, we’ve had 6 named storms along with Hurricane Erin, which strengthened into a major hurricane.

What's next:

Gabrielle is the next name in line.
