As of September 23, the National Hurricane Center lists no active systems in the Atlantic basin.
The Atlantic is quiet this week. As of September 23, the National Hurricane Center has no active systems on the board, and nothing is currently tracking toward Puerto Rico. Forecasters are watching just one area of interest, far out in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, with only a 40% chance of development over the next 7 days and an even lower 20% chance in the near term. That puts it well away from home turf and not something to lose sleep over right now.
We’re past the climatological peak of the season, which fell on September 10, but hurricane season is still very much underway, so it’s worth keeping an eye on updates rather than tuning out entirely. For now, there’s nothing brewing that points toward Puerto Rico, and calm conditions are the story of the week. As always, for the latest official forecasts and any changes to this outlook, check the National Hurricane Center and NWS San Juan directly.
