2 pm EDT Fri, Sep 11: The Atlantic remains quiet, and tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 7 days.
As of 8 am EDT this morning (Sep. 11), we officially passed the satellite-era (1966-present) record for the latest formation of the first hurricane during an Atlantic hurricane season, held by Hurricanes Gustav (2002) and Humberto (2013).
It's important to remember that about half of a normal season's activity happens after today. In fact, there has never been a season during the satellite era without the formation of at least 2 hurricanes. Late-starting years can still produce hurricane impactsโso stay prepared!
