00:00The Atlantic hurricane season is winding down, and it's been remarkably quiet.
00:04By early November, the Atlantic typically sees 15 tropical storms and 7 hurricanes.
00:10This year, there have been just 10 tropical storms and one hurricane.
00:14That lone hurricane, Isaias, did reach major Category 3 strength.
00:18AccuWeather forecasters point to the strong and strengthening El Nino.
00:22During El Nino years, disruptive winds over the Atlantic tend to limit storm formation.
00:27In the Pacific, warm El Nino waters have fueled 24 tropical storms, including 11 major hurricanes.
00:35Now forecasters are watching one more Atlantic system between the Bahamas and Bermuda.
00:39They give it a medium risk of becoming a tropical or subtropical storm.
00:44If it does, it would be named Kyle.
00:46Westerly winds are expected to steer it away from the U.S. coast.
00:50Bermuda could see spotty showers over several days.
00:53November is the season's final official month.
