I have been noticing alot of comments about EPAC activity. I've seen some posters go as far as to claim the EPAC is currently having a stellar season, and in turn the ATL should not. Rather then just argue...these are the facts...a reflective placement of some similar seasons for the EPAC at this point in time..
1997-
EPAC- Tropical Storm Hilda forms August 10th..
ATL- Season shut down by El Nino.
1998-
EPAC- Hurricane Georgette forms AUG 11th
ATL- Tropical Storm Alex forms Late July. Season continues with 14 named storms.
2000-
EPAC- Hurricane Hector forms Aug 10th
ATL- Tropical Storm Beryl forms Aug 13th. Season continues with 14 Named Storms.
2004-
EPAC- Tropical Storm Hilda forms Aug 9th
ATL- Hurricane Erika forms Aug 14th. Season continues with 15 named storms.
2005-
EPAC- Tropical Storm Greg forms Aug 11th
ATL- Hurricane Irene forms Aug 4th. Season continues with 27 named storms.
2006-
EPAC- Hurricane Hector forms Aug 15th
ATL- Tropical Storm Chris forms Aug 5th. Season goes with 9 named storms.
2007-
EPAC- Hurricane Flossie forms on Aug 8th
ATL- Tropical Storm Erin forms Aug 15th. Season goes with 15 Named storms.
The point is typically the EPAC and ATL are always the same near this point. Even in 97 during the significant El Nino the EPAC was still near the same. There is no clear cut correlation here, but if there was i'd be inclined to state it means we will AT LEAST see a slightly above average season.
A little reflective information for those worried about the
