I noticed another trend....that every single B storm has been in the Gulf since 1999:

My "hypothetical forecast" is for Cat 1 Hurricane Bret in July to form off the Yucatan and strike SW Florida. We shall see if the trend holds.

Just going back to my hypothetical..I expect a Cat 1 Hurricane named Dennis that will be a fish.

We'll see some of this troughiness linger into June and some of July. A storm or two will be picked up and pushed Northeast ahead of a trough. This will cause the Gulf and Caribbean to be two areas to watch early on :eek:
