Early start to hurricane season looks unlikely this year.

This is the general tropical discussion area. Anyone can take their shot at predicting a storms path.

An annual occurence with a degree of certainty and dependability that rivals the swallows returning to Capistrano. Watch for posts of that sort in the not-too-distant future on a popular tropical weather discussion board near you. :lol: :wink:

I mean really in the last ten years (since the last active cycle started) have we ever had more than one named storm form in June? Some of those years we didn't even have one form at all. I mean please :roll: It is usually August before things really get cookin' anyhow.



Yes, I remember all that "season over" talk. I had to bite my internet tongue quite often. 8-)

What does a weak early hurricane season imply for the intensity and strength of storms later on in the year? Under the theory that hurricanes help to "ventilate" the tropics and move energy poleward, does this mean more energy remains in the equatorial regions to fuel later storms? Particularly if the early inhibition is due to shear rather than low SST's...(recognizing the SST's this year aren't scorching, but they're definitely still above average)
