Earliest system in the books has a first entry of 18Z May 12 . There's only one other in the books that formed before the 15th.

Yeah, you managed to figure it out while I was taking my sweet old time trying to figure out something with regards to the other pre-May 15 system (the unnamed tropical storm from '96). Specifically, whether it was completely unnoticed at the time, or if it was a tropical depression that was upgraded post-season. It appears that the latter was the case.

Interesting tidbit from yesterday afternoon's TWD

UPPER RIDGING EXTENDS OVER CENTRAL AMERICA FROM 9N78W TO SE MEXICO WITH PLENTY OF SLY WINDS OVER THE REGION. CONVECTION IS FORMING ALONG THE ITCZ WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF DIVERGENCE PROVIDED BY RIDGE. WLY WINDS ARE AT THE SURFACE S OF MEXICO.. INDICATIVE OF AN ACTIVE CONVECTION PHASE OF THE MADDEN-JULIAN OSCILLATION (MJO). MODELS SUGGEST THAT UPPER RIDGING WILL EXPAND WESTWARD INTO THE EPAC WATERS WITH PLENTY OF CONVECTION LIKELY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS IS THE TYPE OF UPPER/LOWER-LEVEL CONFIGURATION THAT IS FAVORABLE FOR TROPICAL GENESIS IN A BROAD SENSE.. BUT IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO EARLY IN THE SEASONAL CYCLE FOR TROPICAL CYCLONES AS ANY WAVES ARE ILL-DEFINED AT BEST.

I guess the NHC is hoping no storms form so they get a longer break than last year.

There's a low pressure but it's still embedded with the ITZC. It needs to separate from the ITZC for something to occur. Let see what happens.

Look like the first sign of tropical devlopment and they are in a MJO period so i would say it has a chance to devlop not much model support right now.
