I'm actually going with Fred as it doesn't seem like activity will resume until the second half of August.

I am by no means a professional. DO NOT look at my forecasts for official information or make decisions based on what I post.
Goal: to become a registered expert over tropical and subtropical cyclones.

Re: What will be the First Major Hurricane Name?
Either Grace or Henri, depending on if there is subtropical development before the tropics/MDR really get going in the first half of August. I think that the first AEW/MDR TC of August will be kind of a sacrificial storm that’ll struggle but clear the way for a wave behind it, which could have significant potential in the Caribbean. If something forms in the subtropics before then, my prediction would be Henri; if not, then it’s Grace.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Good ones. I should have limited this discussion just to the Atlantic. Do y'all have any picks for the Atlantic this year?

Grace if she Explodes in the GoM
Henri has a odd chance by the HWRF
If those 2 don't become Majors then I don't who will!

I am not a meteorologist, and any posts made by me are not official forecasts or to be interpreted as being intelligent. These posts are just my opinions and are probably silly opinions.
Re: What will be the First Major Hurricane Name?
I think it'll be soon, perhaps even Grace or Henri. And otherwise I'm betting on the dreaded I storm, Ida this year.
