Barry Gone, Quiet Again

Barry has come and gone, giving Florida a good dose of rain, anywhere from 1 to 5 inches depending on what part. A lot of rain near Jacksonville and the Bugaboo fires, enough to dampen a lot of that fire activity. In all, Barry was a benefit rather than a detriment to Florida.
The rest of the Atlantic, and Caribbean and Gulf (Where most of the June storms form) is high on shear and low on chances for development, so it looks like the next week or so will be fairly quiet. Beyond that, it's the realm of speculation.
We'll continue to watch the tropics in case anything changes, but it looks good for the foreseeable future.
The next storm name up is Chantal.
