First EPAC storm already. Perhaps an indicator of a quiet start to the Atlantic season? And I thought Stewart was supposed to retire after last season.

Adrian formed into a hurricane last year 9 days prior to this date.

With the relocation of the center closer to the strong convection, and the motion being NE, this has a better shot at strengthening than it did before.

I agree.
