Tropics Quiet Down as Season Passes Peak

By Pam Knox
 
The latest 5-day tropical outlook for the Atlantic shows just one area of investigation. This wave has only a 30 percent chance of developing into a tropical storm in the next five days, and once it gets farther west will run into stronger wind shear, which will make any development more difficult. We are still not out of the woods yet, but we are past the peak of the tropical season, so at least for now, farmers can breathe a sign of relief and get their harvesting down without having to worry about getting it all done in a couple of days. Don’t wait too long, though, since it is not impossible that we could still get a storm that could cause more impacts on agriculture.
