Probably not a heck of a lot, but closer than "songs related to hurricanes." Actually, it might be the same wave the long range PR AFD is referring to, but I haven't had time to look that closely. 8-)

First tropical storm in June not ruled out

PONCE (AP) – National Weather Service Director Israel Matos did not rule out Tuesday that some of the tropical waves that have already formed in the Atlantic Ocean will turn into the first tropical storm, which would carry the name of Alberto.

"In 1999, we had several storms when the season began that developed in the Caribbean; this year, it is possible to have now in June the first tropical storm," he said.

The official said that last year, a tropical storm formed in June in the Gulf of Mexico.

Matos specified that since 1995, the early cyclonic activity in the season has been greater than in previous years.

He added that last year, there were not many cyclonic events to the east of Puerto Rico and that the tropical waves became storms in the Western Caribbean.
