No Tropical Weather Outlook?!?

[Renata]

It's 5:35 am and there is no 5:00 am Tropical Weather Outlook for the Atlantic from the National Hurricane Center.

What gives?

[vbhoutex]

It is now 6:19 CDT and I am wondering the same. Of course when one signs up they do say it is "experimental" service and they don't guarantee the timeliness of it. Makes one wonder what is going on for sure with it being the first day of season!!!

here is what it would say-no development expected today or tomorrow

[Thunder44]

Maybe they forgot . What do you expect from your government?

Thats exactly what it said. The most commonly used term at NHC is Tropical Storm formation not expected.
