So far, the 2014 hurricane season has been rather quiet and an updated long-range forecast that was released today says things should remain about the same.
The storm known as "Arthur" is old news by now, but it's having a lasting effect on ocean temperatures along the Jersey coast. The water is colder, and it will be for a while.

Hurricane Arthur began moving offshore and away from North Carolina's Outer Banks early Friday after slashing into the state's barrier islands overnight.
New Jersey faces a day of extreme heat and humidity and then the effects of Tropical Storm Arthur before a return to sunshine for most of the long weekend.
This summer, scientists will use the latest available technology to take on Mother Nature and determine how severe developing hurricanes could become, and what level of preparedness will be required if the storms make landfall.
