Early Start to Hurricane Season? Perhaps, but no Threat to U.S.

We’ve been watching an area of disturbed weather east of the Bahamas over the last few days. This area is actually being caused by the remnants of a cold front that moved through Florida last week. A weak low should form over the next 24 hours, but the window for tropical or sub-tropical development will be very short – not more than a day or two – before environmental conditions become unfavorable. Limited development, if any, is expected.

Expect a north-northeast motion toward Bermuda early in the week. There is no threat to the U.S., but Bermuda will have some wind and rain around Tuesday into Wednesday.

The Atlantic hurricane season will officially start on June 1. The National Hurricane Center will release their outlook for the season this coming Thursday, May 23.
