Definitely a concerning trend with the CSU,ECMWF hyperactive forecasts AND the track into the lesser antilies..BUT I am still not ready to hop onto the hyperactive train yet, the MDR will continue to cool for the next 2 weeks before we see some sustained warming until the end of June- Early July. I believe July will tell us a lot,2005,2017,2020 ALL had active MDRs during the month of July coupled with strong AEWS. If the MDR warms more than usual then look out but right now I think "just" above average is the best bet. Hyperactivity in the Atlantic is a rarity for a reason
It is really odd that so many models seem to be pointing towards hyperactivity but the current SST just do not support that anywhere, especially when you compare them to previous hyperactive years.
