A quiet weekend ahead as we look out across the tropics. Remember to always check the rip currents and other beach hazards forecasts via weather.gov before you head out to the ocean.

Thanks for listening and have a great weekend!

Still nice and quiet across the Atlantic Basin today but signs are beginning to show up on a more consistent basis of changes in the pattern that may allow for a more favorable environment once we get to around mid-month or so.

I will go over what I am seeing, plus a look at the latest update from Colorado State University's Dr. Phil Klotczbach and the forecast for the hurricane season ahead during my Hurricane Outlook and Discussion video on YouTube.

Thanks for listening - have a great Thursday!

All remains quiet for now in the Atlantic Basin but there are signs of change coming as we move through the mid part of the month. I will cover this and more during my Hurricane Outlook and Discussion video post on YouTube later this afternoon.

Thanks for listening!

Today marks the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season and as we begin the six month journey of watching the tropics, I see no areas of concern anywhere across the Atlantic Basin.

In the eastern Pacific, we do have tropical storm Blanca but it poses no threat to land at this time.

I will go over a potential pattern change coming up for the Atlantic during my Hurricane Outlook and Discussion video on YouTube later this afternoon. Check that out at: YouTube.com/hurricanetrack

Thanks for listening!

The NHC is issuing advisories on a new tropical depression in the eastern Pacific - but no worries, it poses no threat to any land areas right now.

I will be producing a pre-season video special and posting it to my YouTube channel later this afternoon. Be sure to check it out here:

Thanks for listening - I look forward to bringing you this first look at the tropics each and every morning throughout the upcoming hurricane season.

Looks like we will end the month of May with no additional development in the Atlantic but I am already seeing some hints of a more favorable pattern coming into play as we get into the month of June - and the official start of the hurricane season.

Thanks for listening! 

I will be back on Monday with the Hurricane Outlook and Discussion video update on my YouTube channel.

No worries from tropical storms or hurricanes this holiday weekend but there are areas of high rip current risks for portions of the East and Southeast coasts. I will go over those and take a look at the pattern as we head into June during my video discussion on YouTube later this afternoon.

Thanks for listening - have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend!

Nothing of note across the Atlantic Basin as dry conditions and strong upper level winds prevail.

Meanwhile, I think we get the first hurricane of the season in the eastern Pacific sometime over the next week or so.

I will take a closer look at all of this and more in my video discussion posted later today on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/hurricanetrack

Thanks for tuning in and have a great Thursday!

The Atlantic Basin remains nice and quiet as we round out the month while we watch the southeast Pacific for potential development of a couple of systems there.

The pattern looks to remain nice and quiet across the Atlantic Basin as we round out the month of May.

The eastern Pacific, however, looks to become active with the potential for our first hurricane to develop there over the coming days.

I take a look at this and more in this morning's update.

Thanks for listening!
