The tropics are about as active as you'll ever see at a particular time. Hurricane season peaks on September 10th, so just passing the halfway mark and we are nearly out of names for the 2020 season.
Names are set six years in advance and as you have probably heard, names are ONLY retired if it is a historic storm. Otherwise, it gets thrown back into the bucket of names and can be used during a later year.
Once the list of names is exhausted, they will move on to the Greek alphabet. If you are like me, you don't know the Greek alphabet all that well, so here it is for review.
Kansas weather at a standstill:
We are dealing with a "block" in the weather pattern and it acts like a traffic jam. We have a "high" pressure over Wyoming with a "low" pressure to the south of Kansas. So given this situation, things aren't going to change until these systems dissolve. That should happen closer to the weekend, but even as it does, chances for moisture don't look promising at all. Once things start moving again, the big low pressure off the Pacific Northwest will head toward to the northern Rockies. It's going to help increase the winds here in Kansas, but rain is not something we will see much of through the weekend (or beyond).
Here's the forecast for rainfall the next 10 days: little, if any.
Have a great day
