US EditionAtlantic Quiet at Hurricane Season's Peak Though Activity Expected to Rise
Despite preseason forecasts predicting up to 19 named storms, only one hurricane has formed so far due to unfavorable environmental factors suppressing development, National Hurricane Center says.
- On Sept. 10, the Atlantic is unusually quiet with no active storms or watches in the Atlantic Basin, and forecast models show no development this week.
- Amid high atmospheric stability, forecasters point to dry Saharan dust and wind shear as suppressing tropical development across the main development region.

- Coastal communities are seeing a rare respite, but Hurricane season runs through November 30 and over 50% of activity occurs after Sept. 10, so risks remain.
