Is this the end of the world? Another storm for the media to hype.

Earlier in the yer the media was hyping how early storms were forming and that this would be the worst huricanne season on record. Then it semed that there were no storms for a while. Are we still on trck for the worst season?

Potentially, yes, in terms of number of named storms, number of hurricanes, number of intense hurricanes.

However there's no guarantee of what will be hit; the ability to forecast storm numbers is very good, the ability to forecast how many of those hit the US is basically nonexistent.

Earliest "K" named storm since they started keeping records, so possibly yes.

FWIW, the long range models are predicting a few other hurricanes popping up in the next 14 days, so the tropics could get interesting.
