More times than not, NOAA puts out their prediction for how active the season will be and then has to readjust down as the season moves along.

An early storm has been a horrible predictor for the overall season.

I never connected the 2 events....early storm = more storms.

I stated them both indepently of each other. No cause and effect.

Beats me. It is a cold core system for now and would have become a tropical low before it is really a tropical system. Any way ya cut it , it will just dry my area out even more as you all should know air sinks to the west of these kinds of storms. If there anyone that knows the weather heather it me.

Not yet assigned the name for the 1st Storm of 2020

Special Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
8:10 AM EDT Sat May 16 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Special Tropical Weather Outlook issued to discuss the potential
for tropical or subtropical development off the east coast of
Florida.

1. An area of low pressure located just offshore of the southeast
coast of Florida continues to produce shower activity and gusty
winds from portions of southeast and east-central Florida
eastward across the northwestern Bahamas and the adjacent Atlantic
waters. Satellite images and surface observations indicate that the
low is gradually becoming better defined, but the associated showers
and thunderstorms remain disorganized. Continued gradual
development is expected, and the system is likely to become a
tropical or subtropical depression or storm later today or tonight
while it moves north-northeastward over the Atlantic waters east of
Florida. Later in the weekend and early next week, the system is
expected to move generally northeastward over the western Atlantic
near or east of the Carolinas.

Regardless of development, the disturbance will continue to bring
heavy rainfall and gusty winds across portions of east-central
Florida and the northwestern Bahamas through today. In addition,
hazardous marine conditions will spread northward during the next
few days, likely causing dangerous surf and rip currents along
much of the southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts of the U.S. See
products from your local weather office for more details. An Air
Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is currently enroute to
investigate the disturbance. The next Special Tropical Weather
Outlook on this system will be issued by 3 PM EDT today, or earlier
if needed.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

Tropical Storm Cristobal has just begun its journey across the exceptionally warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and already has maximum sustained wind speeds of 60 mph!

There is a general worry about the impact of a robust hurricane season on top of the COVID-19 epidemic. Given there experiences with the Florida unemployment system, Floridians actually impacted by a hurricane this season especially have reason to worry, more certainly given the destruction of internet infrastructure by hurricane force winds.


<<While FEMA aims to live up to its mission, it noted disaster response may be conducted remotely this year, and that the public should be aware the agency's application process may not be done in-person due to health and safety considerations.>>

The forecast calls for rain. I need to go water my garden.

In the 60's and earlier 70's no one spoke about Atmospheric Temperatures when some of the MEANEST Hurricanes hit Fl and The Gulf Coast Yearly.

There is always an EXCUSE to cause panic, but Mother Nature takes care of business her way !!!!
