No Spin Zone: Hurricane Hullabaloo or Just Hot Air?

The National Weather Service is at it again, folks! They're reporting a snoozefest this week with no tropical cyclone activity expected. But hold onto your MAGA hats, because they've spotted four tropical waves in the Atlantic. Buckle up as we approach the peak of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

Here's the lowdown on these so-called waves:

• Tropical wave 1: Snoozing off the coast of Africa. Moving west with some scattered showers. Yawn.
• Tropical wave 2: Heading towards the Lesser Antilles. No deep convection, so it's basically a tropical yawn-fest.
• Tropical wave 3: Chilling in the Caribbean, moving west. Some strong convection near Panama and Costa Rica, but nothing to write home about.
• Tropical wave 4: Hanging out in the Bay of Campeche. Isolated convection, but don't cancel your BBQ plans just yet.

When is the peak of hurricane season?

Remember Ernesto? It hit Bermuda and caused some waves along the East Coast. And who can forget Beryl, the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record? It was a real lib-tTrigger, causing "catastrophic damage" and 20 deaths in the Caribbean.
