And then, nothing

That quickly the storms in the Atlantic either dissipated or went north. As of 5 p.m. Saturday, Tropical Storm Earl was in the Gulf of St. Lawrence after battering Nova Scotia with tropical storm force winds. Earl made a glancing pass at the Outer Banks and Cape Cod, but otherwise passed out to sea on its route north.

Fiona and Gaston fizzled out, although the disturbed weather that was Gaston continues across the tropical Atlantic. Meteorologists are monitoring a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico and another near the Cape Verde Islands. Other than that, the Atlantic is quiet. Clear, cooler air has descended over the eastern part of the country. Enjoy the respite. Hurricane season still has nearly three months of potential surprises.
