SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Patrick Big B reports that no tropical development is expected in the next seven days due to a significant amount of Saharan dust coming off the African coast. This dust dries out the atmosphere, making it unfavorable for hurricanes, which require moisture-rich air. The Saharan dust not only affects atmospheric moisture but also temperature balance, both of which are crucial for tropical system formation. This dry, dusty condition is expected to persist, making the environment inhospitable for storms. However, activity is anticipated to pick up by early August, with the next storms to be named Debbie and Ernesto.
