The NHCcontinues tracking three tropical waves that are moving west across the Atlantic and the Caribbean but doesn’t expect any tropical development.

Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released in late May forecasts a 60% chance of an above-average hurricane season, with 13 to 19 named storms expected, including 6 to 10 hurricanes and as many as five major hurricanes.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, including one in the western Caribbean.

The change marks another blow to NOAA’s forecasting abilities, adding to growing concerns about the agency’s readiness for hurricane season.

The low-pressure area the NHC has been monitoring off Florida's eastern coast will bring heavy rain to the Carolinas before fizzling out.

A developing tropical cyclone is given a name when it reaches sustained winds of 39 mph, and it becomes a hurricane at 74 mph.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical waves in the Atlantic: Tropical wave 1: A tropical wave located at 37W from 02N-12N in the central Atlantic is moving west at 11 mph. Tropical wave 2: A central Atlantic tropical wave east of the Caribbean Sea has its axis along 57W south of 17N, is moving west at 11 to 17 mph.

The first hurricane in the Pacific doesn’t typically arrive until the last week of June. Three have been named so far this season.
