Busiest month of the tropical season

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- We have spent some time in recent weather chats discussing the low number of tropical storms and hurricanes this season in the Atlantic Basin. We focused much of these discussions on August.

As we turned the calendar from August to September there was a slight increase in the amount of tropical activity. However, of the three systems being monitored by the National Hurricane Center, one was an area of low pressure (in the northwest Gulf) and the two over the Atlantic were tropical waves.
