Rob Lightbown, chief honcho of private weather forecasting company Crown Weather, has been saying the coming hurricane season may be front loaded and most recently said tropical development is possible in May. This morning he said this: "The reason for beginning issuing our regular tropical weather discussions over one month before the official start of the Hurricane Season is because we have identified an area that may be of interest in terms of possible tropical development late next week into next weekend. The geographic area is east of the Bahamas and north of Puerto Rico. While tropical development in this area is a possibility, it is definitely not a sure thing."

Here we go, folks....
