Tropics quiet in tail-end of season

Thanks for logging on to myfoxhurricane.com. Just looking back at this season, it's been an interesting season. We've talked about El Niño. We've talked about it being quieter than average. But the one thing that you've noticed is where we have seen the systems that have been any significance whatsoever have all been in the Gulf. Arthur, Edward, Bertha, now we have ECIS, which made landfall last week. Obviously, our first hurricane of the season. So along the northern Gulf Coast, that's where essentially all the activity has been this season. Now we're back to this quiet period once again. No tropical formation expected over the next seven days. A couple of days ago, we were watching one little area well out into the Atlantic. I mentioned it really had no chance because of the strong wind shear. And even if it found some way of surviving, it wasn't going to survive long. And it was never going to head anywhere. So there you still see strong areas of wind shear, classic El Niño going on. Watch the Fox weather model, that one area, there it is. Of course, it's not designated by the Hurricane Center anymore, but just watching, you notice nothing's happening with that whatsoever. It stays quiet all the way across the Atlantic, the Caribbean, and into the Gulf as well. So we're into that tail end of the season, past that peak September 10th. Still about a quarter of the season left. Of course, that tail end of the season is generally quieter. The issue becomes this latter part of the season, the areas that we watch. It's the Caribbean, the Western Caribbean, and into the Gulf. And we've seen so far this season about the only area that has really even produced anything has been the Gulf. It's quiet right now, but we can't let our guard down. We have to continue to watch this area as we head through the rest of the season. Now, one area that has not been quiet and continues to be very active is the Pacific. We have two systems right now. We have Hurricane Simon. We also have Tropical Storm Trudy that formed yesterday. And both of these systems are just going to continue to somewhat parallel the coastline, although it does look like they could make landfall as well. So we're going to watch these over the next couple of days. Here's Hurricane Simon, 90-mile-an-hour winds heading up into the Baja, California, as we head into the weekend, paralleling, but it looks like, again, could make landfall across that southern tip there as we head through the week. And then we have Trudy. Still a beginning storm right now. Winds are at 60 miles an hour, so it is gaining more strength. This one is expected to intensify pretty rapidly over the next few days. Category 4 winds up to about 130 miles an hour, very close to the coastline. So this is gonna be another one that we watch very closely as we head through the weekend and into next week. But we continue to see just loads and loads of activity across the Pacific, which is classic El Niño quieter in the Atlantic, more storms in the Pacific. We'll keep you updated right here on my fox hurricane dot com.
