The good news is that the 2013 season has a chance at producing no hurricanes through the middle of September. While the 2013 season thus far has delivered six tropical storms, it has not delivered any hurricanes as of today, Sept. 3rd.
The bad news is that Hurricane formation in the Atlantic is overdue and is soon is likely to shift in favor of multiple tropical systems by mid-September..
The good news is that the current weather pattern would prevent a tropical system in the Atlantic from making landfall along the East Coast of the U.S. during the first part of September and would continue to deter rapid strengthening to a hurricane in general during the same period.
The bad news is that there is a window for a Gulf of Mexico system to impact the United States and eastern Mexico.
The good news is that there is currently a buffering zone protecting much of the Atlantic Coast of North America.
Bottom line? - Hurricane season 2013 doesn't end until November. We still have a ways to go. Of course then we can start looking forward to watching out for those winter nor'easters!
Uh, yay?
