Matt,

to be consistent, TS Ana in 1997 would also be the "B" storm, again due to the subtropical storm

You know, after looking at this data a bit, we're still running on an "above average" season... But I'm truly amazed at the lack of activity until now - and that opinion is probably only based on last year - which was - excuse the colloquialism... Absolutely nuts.

So I guess as history as our guide a storm name Beryl is not going to happen unitl July. Looks like we can take July off! :cheesy:

My guess for when the B-storm will form is sometime between July 10th and July 24th.

I remember in 2004, people lamenting that the year was a "dud", right up until August when all ** broke loose. If July IS quiet this year, for heavens sake, let's ENJOY IT!!! :lol:
