Quiet ?

Things may be 'quiet' in general. But there are currently three areas to watch.
1-GOM just south of New Orleans. Weak surface and upper levels Low moving west. Associated with a tropical wave.

2-SW GOM/ W Bay of Campeche. Near surface circulation just offshore the area where Hurricane Dean made landfall last week.

3-Middle Caribbean circulation centered near 11.4N/ 76.0W. Vortice swirls can be seen in the latest visible 4 frame satellite loop.

I have yet to check the areas east of 76 W.

Weak wave near 12N/ 55W

Large amplitude wave near 12N/ 31W.

ULL near 23N/ 58W.

Notice the frontal boundary moving into the S US. Near an Austin, TX to Tupelo,MS line... dry air!
