The official peak of hurricane season has arrived for the Atlantic Basin, and we are quieter than normal for the start of September. Since hurricane season began on June 1, we had to wait until June 22 to start tracking Andrea in the deep Atlantic. That storm was a tropical storm and never reached hurricane status.

As time went on, Barry formed in late June, and Chantal was both tropical storms. Out of those two, Chantal did provide some rain and two tornado warnings to ENC after the July 4th holiday. Areas in central North Caroline saw more impacts, as several inches of rain fell and a few tornado-warned storms. Once we had those named storms, we went quiet for a while until August 4-7, as Dexter formed in the middle of the Atlantic and moved towards the United Kingdom.
