I feel like we could see a subtropical junk storm with the positive SSTAs in the central N. Atlantic and the -NAO models are showing.

I was initially leaning towards zero but this is actually sound reasoning given the SST profile is quite different from this time last year, and yeah, during -NAO you can't discount the possibility of a cutoff low making a (sub)tropical transition under those circumstances. So what the heck, I'll say we get one.

Voted zero, the majority of Mays do not have any (sub)tropical development in the Atlantic basin

I truly hate seeing any slop gale-center having sub 50mph winds (typically well removed from the center) get named. My brain says there'll be at least one of those.... but my heart keeps saying :na:

Guess I'm going with none
