Re: When Will Don Form?
I'm going to randomly go with July 8th, I just can't see there being another dead July like last year especially with how favorable the MDR is looking to be.

Re: When will we get Don?
Just a shot in the dark, no scientific basis here besides climo and gut: Don forms on August 6, followed closesly by our E and F storms.

Re: When Will Don Form?
Bumping this so people can vote in the poll. I think I am going to be wrong.

There is a chance though that the winner might not be listed in the poll which would be funny

Re: When Will Don Form?
I believe we will not see Don until the end of August now. Just a feeling, and that is all.
