Indeed. I made the poll knowing it was being mentioned but didn't expect the quickness it has organized. If it forms before the 15th,those who voted 15-20 will count as winners.

Yeah, I'm not sure people realize how active it could potentially be in just the next few days. Kyle looks like a good bet in the North Atlantic. Looks like another system (subtropical?) follows immediately behind Kyle in his footsteps. I wouldn't sleep on the spin that's currently in the Central Atlantic - ICON, CMC want to juice it up a little as it approaches the islands (the EURO also today has a hint of a possibility). And there's a huge wave coming off Africa late this weekend that has potential. The models (in terms of genesis) are underwhelming to say the least. I wouldn't be shocked if this time next week we're looking at Marco

Turns out everyone was wrong and it actually formed before the earliest possible option. 2020 has been a hell of a year...

Lol it showed up so quickly I didn't even have a chance to put in a vote.

The central Atlantic wave might get all the way to the western Caribbean, so I wouldn’t exclude the possibility of it eventually developing. The CMC has another TC in the MDR by August 24th. Suffice to say, things are about to go crazy.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Colors of lost purpose on the canvas of irrelevance

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.
