Looking highly unlikely at this point.

If Alex somehow forms at the last hour on May 31st, it technically would still count as a pre-season storm though lol

Unless Agatha can cross Mexico before May 31 ends, we will almost certainly not have pre-season development.

Even if it did, it would still need to develop. No chance that happens in that time period.

It was indeed very tempting to think that this year would have continued the pre-season development streak that occurred for 7 years. After all, it was indestructible, wasn't it? :D

Unless that GoM system earlier this month does not get reclassified as a tropical storm, looks like we're gonna have to start all over from scratch.

Why is it, out of all years, it is this year that the pre-season streak is likely to break? We have a subtropical warm pool. What specific pattern separates this season from the past 7 seasons?

Exactly. Look at 2005 for example. 0 preseason storms.

Now if it IS broken this year, I may decide to start going all George Costanza and go against my instincts, but we'll see. :lol:



Um...I'm not actually going to do this. :double:

Well, okay, maybe if this question gets asked again next year, but that's it. :lol:
