Forecasters see no tropical storm activity Herald Staff Report
MANATEE --Hurricane watchers say today that the tropics are clear of potential tropical storms at least through Tuesday night.
Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center in Miami say an area of showers east of Florida has diminished or merged with a frontal boundary, and the low-pressure area poses no threat.
The hurricane center watches the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico for weather that could develop into dangerous storms during the 2007 hurricane season.
Through the first month of the hurricane season, there has been little tropical weather.
Global tranquility! O Noes!
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!
no wait...
Gas prices up $.37 a gallon just be on the safe side...
For additional enviorbucks he will continue to work his magic for the good of mankind! Of course, he would work better from a throne room in the White House!
Doofus Alert!
Fewer tropical storms. Another sure sign of global warming.

They are so disappointed.
It HAS to be because of Global warming! If that warm water wasn’t stopping that current things in the Atlantic, there would eb more tropical storm weather! Aargh! Bush’s fault!
Umm, why?
There's only an average of one named storm every other year by the beginning of July.
Most Atlantic tropical activity, and virtually all the destructive stuff, occurs in a narrow time window from the middle of August through the end of September.
The peak of the Atlantic season is in September.
The level of Atlantic tropical activity in June and July, statistically, has nothing to do with the level of tropical activity in August and September - and in fact there seems to be a slight NEGATIVE correlation.
The degree to which people are practically going out of their way to be completely devoid of actual scientific knowledge on FR is fairly disturbing.
Though I have to say it's actually fairly common on many forums for people to simply not understand the typical timing of the Atlantic tropical season - people still have the persistent vague idea that somehow July should be the peak of activity, rather than September.
Hurricane Andrew hit during the latter half of August.
Yeah, there could be no Atlantic TCs for the next month and a half, and you could still end up having one of the most active and destructive tropical seasons in history.
Actually the season in which Andrew occured was very inactive.
Did not St. Algore preach that global warming was spawning hurricanes from hell?
As I recall, Andrew had nearly been ripped apart at some point in time, but it regenerated. I know Frederic was nearly ripped apart over the Antillies, but, once it got back into the gulf, it just blossomed.
I think it was the 1935 hurricane that had been a tropical storm 24 hrs before it came into the Keys as a Cat 5.
Hurricane Camille was an August storm. In what had been until then, a fairly quiet year. Honestly, I don’t trust the lull, if just because, you typically don’t have two totally dead seasons following each other. I think Alicia over in Houston was also a real late storm, for an A named one.
The more activity the more funding they receive. I know the local channels really love to drum beat since more eyeballs equals better advertising bang.
