With several more weeks left in the Atlantic hurricane season and ongoing storms in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, I will continue with hurricane preparedness information that you’ll find helpful. We’ll review some important weather and climate reads as well as our weekly look at the latest US Drought Monitor.
