East of the islands in June? I applaud the boldness.

Now that is when the board would really light up...August with storm developing east of islands...the tracking season would begin for sure

I figured I would get a eyebrow or two raised. Here is my reason:

Waves have looked pretty strong and shear is forecast to be very low here at that time.

this has to be one of the sillyest forums yet, no one knows so why even make such a statement, talk about what is happening not what MIGHT happen or when something MIGHT happen, you people can not predict our next tropicl system but good day to all of you

Why does trying to predict when a storm will form make this the silliest forum?? Thats what S2K is about the Tropics.

Another aspect of having a thread like this is to have some fun guessing when and where a storm will form while things heat up in the Atlantic and keep the Talking Tropics forum running in an active way and not have members bored in a dead forum.

Hopefully, not the same time Bertha formed back in 1996 which ended up hitting us the first part of July......

But, if I had to make a guess, I'd say in the Western Caribbean around mid July...

[space_thrilla]

July 2 in ECATL.

My friend is a loony..he said September 28th.

[cycloneye]

We have an almost winner.
