There's a stunningly beautiful hurricane in the Northeast Pacific

and then there is this possibility (from the article)
Quiet in the Atlantic

Conditions are tranquil in the Atlantic, where dry Saharan air continues to predominate, and no tropical development is expected through Wednesday. There was a tropical wave located midway between the coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands on Saturday morning, near 10°N 40°W, that we should keep an eye on, though. Some of the members of the 0Z Saturday GFS ensemble forecast showed this wave developing by mid-week, when it will be moving through the Lesser Antilles Islands.
Greg on the way in the East Pacific?

A new system in the East Pacific, Invest 97E, could become a long-lived tropical storm in the coming days well southwest of Mexico. In their 8 am EDT Saturday Tropical Weather Outlook, The National Hurricane Center gave 97E an 40 percent chance of becoming at least a tropical depression by Monday, and a 60 percent chance by Thursday. Starting off at a higher latitude than Eugene and Fernanda, this next system—which will be named Greg if it develops—will be traversing cooler waters and is unlikely to become a significant hurricane as it tracks far out to sea.

The Don and Hilary Show?
If 97E does become Greg next week, it will set up the potential for a naming juxtaposition right out of central casting. The next two names on the Atlantic and East Pacific lists, respectively, would be Don and Hilary.
