Dual Tropical Systems Fay And Gonzalo Churn Across Active Atlantic As Rough Swells Target East Coast - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
National hurricane specialists are tracking two active tropical systems over the open Atlantic while monitoring a cold front pushing rough surf toward the U.S. East Coast. Tropical Depression Fay is located roughly 980 nautical miles west-southwest of the Azores, moving west-southwest at 4 knots.

Forecasters Eye Emerging Tropical Threat Near Bermuda As Gulf Peak Hurricane Season Passes - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Meteorologists are tracking a developing area in the Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda that poses a medium risk for tropical development between Sept. 17 and Sept. 21, even as broad sections of the basin remain unusually calm for mid-September. If a tropical system forms in the area near Bermuda, it is not expected to impact the mainland United States, though forecasters advise residents and officials in Bermuda to monitor its progress closely.

Read excerpt
A massive, 3,000-mile plume of dust from the Sahara Desert is traveling across the Atlantic Ocean and is scheduled to reach Florida early next week. The late-season dust cloud is being carried by strong winds at altitudes ranging between 5,000 and 15,000 feet, and it is expected to reach the state by Sunday or Monday. Saharan dust plumes typically move across the Atlantic between June and August. Because the journey takes up to two weeks, the timing of this system makes it an unusually late arri
Atlantic Basin Reaches Climatological Peak Without A Single Hurricane In Historic Lull - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Atlantic hurricane basin reached the official peak of its season on Sept. 10 without generating a single hurricane, putting the region on track for one of its quietest years on record. Forecasters at AccuWeather report a low probability of any hurricane forming before the end of the month. Five named tropical storms have developed so far this season, but a combination of strong wind shear, dry air, and recurring plumes of Saharan dust has kept every system below hurricane strength.
