TROPICAL UPDATE: First area of interest for 2024 has weakened

Further development is not expected at this time and no tropical activity is expected during the next seven days.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Yesterday the National Hurricane started to monitor a disturbance in the East Atlantic. Strong upper-level wind weakened the disturbance and no additional development is expected. 

Regular Tropical Weather Outlooks will resume on May 15. Keep in mind that while hurricane season has a start date (June 1) and an end date (November 30), it doesn't mean storms can't form any time of year. 

We're less than 40 days away from the start of the 2024 hurricane season. We spoke with our local National Weather Service office about what they're doing to prepare ahead of the season. You can read that story here.
