The tropics are unusually quiet for the middle of September. What’s left of Fred is drifting through the Atlantic north of the Caribbean Islands. It is not expected to regenerate, although I have seen one computer model that brings it back just east of Florida late in the weekend.

Elsewhere, there is a persistent area of low pressure continues to spin near the Gulf Coast, bringing soaking rains to the Southeastern US. This is not a tropical system, and it does not look like anything will be brewing in the Gulf of Mexico in the coming days.

There are no tropical waves coming off the coast of Africa.
