From the 530 AM advisory - for the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
Cloudiness and Thunderstorms continue over a large portion of the Central and Southwestern Caribbean Sea...primarily associated with a westward moving tropical wave. There are no signs of organization at this time, but upper-level winds are forecast to become favorable for some development during the next day or two as the system moves over the Western Caribbean Sea.
There are no tropical systems developing in the Atlantic at present.
Here you can see our current cloud cover.

read loco' check this out.

Oh yes, before I forget, the probability of having a named storm in July is for us, very low...
