But if you’ve looked for storm systems in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico over the past two months, there’s been total nada happening. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey one year ago, the dearth of tropical cyclones has been a welcome respite from Texas electricity supply outages. What happened to the “above-normal” hurricane season? Remember back in the May hurricane prediction that there was uncertainty about how warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Main Development Region (MDR) would get this summer? NOAA’s computer weather models suggested the possibility that the Atlantic could stay cooler this summer. Well, that possibility b
