(National Hurricane Center)The tropical Atlantic Ocean is unusually active so early in hurricane season with two disturbances on the verge of developing into storms. It is situated over an area that is quite favorable for development in June, where many past June tropical storms have formed. Tropical storm warnings have been issued for Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. On average, the hurricane season’s second named storm occurs on Aug. 2, and third on Aug. 14. But last year, the third named storm occurred even earlier when Colin formed on June 6.
