There are 2 systems in the atlantic basin now but none will develop because sst's are below 80*F and strong shear and also dry air will not let anything get going.One area is in the western carribean and the other north of the greater antilles.
But the big question is what is instore for the season as these systems are in late january and early febuary out there.
We will know as all the data comes in during the next 3 months what factors will be favorable for an active season and what factors will be unfavorable.
But one thing is for sure one factor that is more and more clear to happen during the season is the ENSO factor and all the data points out neutral to weak la nina but let's wait to be very confident on that.
Signs of things to come later?

I am not an expert by no stretch of the imagination on weather But it seems to me I can't remember any systems in January, so this may be a sign of a busy tropical season. If there is a record of this please inform me and also give me your view
First of all, the other system is extratropical. So the only disturbance that had some potential was the Caribbean low. Is the low a sign of things to come? Well thats hard to say. Usually, when storms develop early int he season, overall activity is usually below normal HOWEVER, that usually occurs during EL NINO years. 2003 will not be an El Nino years. Btw, storms have formed in January before.

If its a weather related link I have it...don't be afraid to ask ROFL. I used to have an offseason page at TWW but the site is basically shutdown at the moment.

Not necessarily
Early activity often has a negative coorelation with the upcoming season. Both 1982 and 1986 (while el nino years), both had a lot of early activity, while there was little overall activity.
Early development does not in any way translate to an active season
