ORLANDO, Fla. — The tropics have turned quiet overall despite moving into the peak of hurricane season.
Fernand transitioned to a post-tropical state on Thursday, leaving meteorologists to monitor a tropical wave currently over far western Africa.
This wave is expected to move into the Atlantic over the holiday weekend, but it has a low chance of development according to computer models.
The statistical peak of hurricane season is Sept. 10, and while the current lull in activity is notable, long-range computer models suggest a potential increase in activity later in September.
