Saharan Dust over portions of Florida is keeping skies hazy. It's also helping inhibit the development of any tropical systems.

National Hurricane Center forecasters on June 8 said tropical activity in the Atlantic, Caribbean or Gulf of America is unlikely for now.

We're in week 2 of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Is the quiet start a hint of what's to come or the calm before the storm? Meteorologist Pat Cavlin explains.

Tropical wave 2: A tropical wave is east of the Lesser Antilles, extending from 06N to 17N with axis near 57W, moving west around 17 mph. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are ongoing from 06N to 16N between 50W and 60W.

Tropical activity remains quiet in the Atlantic basin, although there have already been three named storms in the eastern Pacific.

A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained winds between 39 and 73 mph – an upgrade from a tropical depression.
