Looks like we're in the middle of a quiet patch. There is very little to speak of in the tropics - there's some convection in the Gulf associated with an upper level trough and several waves throughout the basin, but none of them with any significant thunderstorm activity or convection. There is also some waning thunderstorm activity in the Bay of Campeche.

Still, we are nearly through to July, so perhaps Alex will form in the next 2-3 weeks (or possibly more).

Things seem to be heating up in the E. Pacific - there are two invests, each of which has the potential to become a tropical depression in the next couple of days. Blas and Celia could be there in a few days. Maybe these disturbances are a precursor to some Atlantic activity in the near future.
