The Tropical Weather Outlook
The hurricane season in this hemisphere, officially begins on Sunday, June 01, 2014. NOAA predicts near-normal or below-normal 2014 Atlantic hurricane season. El Niño is expected to develop and suppress the number and intensity of tropical cyclones. 
The outlook calls for a 50 percent chance of a below-normal season, a 40 percent chance of a near-normal season, and only a 10 percent chance of an above-normal season.  For the six-month hurricane season, which begins June 1, NOAA predicts a 70 percent likelihood of 8 to 13 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 3 to 6 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 1 to 2 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher).
These numbers are near or below the seasonal averages of 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes, based on the average from 1981 to 2010. The Atlantic hurricane region includes the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.

A tropical wave along 62W this morning, will move W through the SE Caribbean today and tonight...then move W-NW across the central and SW Caribbean Sunday through Wednesday. A second tropical wave will move through the tropical N Atlantic this evening and tonight and through the SE Caribbean Sunday night through Monday then through the central Caribbean Tuesday through Wednesday.
