Strangely absent from national news is the lack of any significant weather in the tropics. According to our pals at StormTrack, there's not much to note at the moment - a fizzling wave of instability in the Atlantic and a big thunderstorm coming off the African continent which may or may not develop further.
So far this season, we've had two named storms (Alberto and Beryl), neither of which made it to hurricane status, and neither of which did much, if any, damage.
Big contrast to last year, which saw 7 named storms before the end of July, including Hurricanes Dennis and Emily - two all-timers in their own right.
Let's hope it holds - "real" hurricane season is just starting now.
UPDATE: Just as soon as I say it, here comes a post with the headline "Activity Increasing". Figures. Just for the record, I will not be washng either vehicle this weekend, so the drought in North Texas will probably continue.
