It's barely May - is this a little early for named storms...?

Remember, this is an El Nino year. That's why the winter weather was sooo crazy.

Nooo.... sorry... you're a year late

Not only is this not an "El Niño year," forecasts are for a possible "La Niña" condition developing over the next three months, which is sometimes, but not always, associated with a more active than average hurricane season. We shall see.
