6 months of storms packed into 4 months?

It looks like the tropics are ready to make up for the lack of any storms or hurricanes the first two months of the season.

Tropical Depression 2 is forecast to become the season’s first tropical storm. The five-day forecast doesn’t call for it to reach hurricane strength, but the forecast doesn’t have the storm falling apart in five days, either.

There’s another wave just moving off the African coast now that some models have turning into a pretty decent storm late next week. Not all models are doing this, though, and that’s a long way out for models to be overly accurate.

It is worth watching a few days from now.

Usually having no storms the first two months of the season just means we get six months worth of storms crammed into four months.
