NHC monitors multiple tropical waves in early season.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring four tropical waves, including two in the Caribbean Sea, but no tropical cyclone development is expected over the next seven days. AccuWeather meteorologists are tracking the potential for activity to increase in the western Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico later this month. While there is nothing imminent, experts recommend residents and those with vacation plans in potential trouble spots to stay vigilant. El Niño, which usually helps to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity, may not happen this year due to record hot Atlantic water temperatures that would counteract the El Niño winds that normally decapitate many storms.
