Although hurricane season <strong>of</strong>ficially starts on June 1, by mid-May Tropical Storm Arthur was already moving<br />
along <strong>the</strong> Outer Banks <strong>of</strong> North Carolina. What are we to take away from this early start to <strong>the</strong> season?<br />
Is it unusual to have named systems in May?<br />
The good news on systems forming before <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial start <strong>of</strong> hurricane season is that, since 2015,<br />
every May has had a named system. In some <strong>of</strong> those years, Atlantic activity was above normal, while in<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r seasons, activity was closer to normal. So early starts don’t always mean we will see an overly active<br />
season, but it doesn’t mean that it isn’t possible.<br />
