The Atlantic Gets Lively

Although there have been a number of named tropical systems in the Atlantic this year (Emily has already been used), so far they have been relatively weak and inconsequential.  But, it looks like the activity is increasing, and NOAA recently raised its number of expected systems.  Currently, four areas of concern are being monitoried by the National Hurricane Center.  Only one of these (93L) looks like it could become a threat to the NC coast.
