Last Gasp for the Atlantic Hurricane Season

This quote from the article says that scientists know "little about" important aspects of hurricane formation this year, but some of the same people believe they know what the climate will do in 100 years.  Does that seem odd to you?

 

"There is something else in addition to dry air, wind shear and tropical water temperatures, playing a role during the low hurricane seasons that we know little about and meteorologists have to study more," Kottlowski stated.

Tropical Storm Lorenzo has formed in the central Atlantic. It is not expected to impact any land in the coming days.



The area that has bred the majority of tropical storms during the 2013 Atlantic season may have a couple more tricks up its sleeve before the season comes to a close.

The western Caribbean and southwestern Gulf of Mexico are likely candidates for near-continent tropical storm formation in the coming weeks.

As large high pressure areas begin to build southeastward from Canada and across the eastern United States, the flow of air around these fair weather systems may help to spin up tropical systems farther south.
