July... No Named Storms
09:28 AM EDT - 27 July 2001

Barring no last minute surprises, looks like we'll go through July with out a named system. However, this benefit will be short lived.

SNONUT (from one of our hosted sites), is predicting early August activity from the Cape Verde. And judging by what I've seen lately, I have no reason to doubt it. (Which, of course, is when I'm out of town 3-15th (hemisphere even))) Add to that a pattern is setting up which may be less friendly for recurving of storms... So it's likely storms will stay further south this year. Which means the Southeast, including Florida could have some close calls this year.

For now, though. Nothing much worth watching, although the activity with the waves coming off Africa will get more and more interesting.

August could ramp up quickly, so be on the lookout.
