With the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season upon us, there are currently a few tropical disturbances that are being monitored over the basin which could approach the Caribbean and North America over the next couple of weeks.
While conditions are relatively quiet over the Atlantic basin at the start of this week, it could be a different story late this week or next week.
During the middle of the tropical season, from late August through the middle of October, most tropical storms are born from tropical disturbances, called tropical waves, that move westward from Africa.
This is also known as the Cabo Verde season, which borrows its name from the Cabo Verde Islands, located just off the west coast of Africa where many of these tropical waves form.
The Cabo Verde season has been responsible for most of the monster hurricanes over the years, including the most recent Category 5 Hurricane Dorian.
