HOUSTON — The KHOU 11 Weather Team is monitoring the tropics closely. Over the past 24 hours, computer models have backed off on tropical development in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.

Is it too early for hurricane season you ask? Not at all.  

Hurricane season doesn't begin until June 1, but looking back at history, we've had a named tropical system in the month of May for the past seven years in a row.

But for now, the tropics are quiet and are forecast to stay quiet for at least the next 5 days.
