As October approaches the end, activity in the tropics has dropped off quite a bit, and will likely remain that way for the remainder of the season. However we'll still watch for any changes and bring them up if something happens.
During this part of the year you only really look in the Western Caribbean for Development, and sometimes (but not usually) the Gulf. The peak of the season has come and gone, Ike was the hurricane to remember this year. Fay, the Tropical Storm many of us in Florida will remember.
More to come later.
