    NOAA is predicting an above normal hurricane season for the Atlantic Ocean. with 13 to 19 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes. 

    So far, the Atlantic Ocean has been pretty quiet especially with the normal outflow of dust being sent across the Atlantic care of the Sahara Desert, which is a common event that lasts through about mid-August.  

    Last year hurricane season started out with Beryl, a Cat 5 end of June, which traveled across the Atlantic into the Carribean as a Cat 4, continued into the Gulf of Mexico and hammered much of south and east Texas as a Cat 3 and remained a powerful storm system.  This year in comparison, the season has been quiet. 

    The sea temperatures are not as hot as last year, so we await the season and what it brings.  I hope for everyone, the season is mild, and most storms stay out at sea.  There are too many people still suffering and trying to clean of their lives from Hurricane Helene last year.  So sad.
