Potential Tropical Storm One?

Here is the KinetiCast™ wind field for “Potential Tropical Cyclone One” based on the recent NHC forecast.

This potential storm is arriving early for the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. Historically, only a few named storms have fully formed in the Gulf of Mexico at an earlier time. Examples include:

• 1959 Tropical Storm Arlene (formed May 28),

• 2016 Tropical Storm Colin (formed June 5), and

• 2020 Tropical Storm Cristobal (formed June 1).

Of those, Tropical Storm Cristobal is similar to Potential Tropical Storm One in that it evolved from Tropical Storm Amanda in the East Pacific.

Being prepared for the hazards and impacts of these potential storms is more important than ever. Especially with a storm potentially forming early for the season, having real-time, global data available is crucial to making the right preparations and decisions before it’s too late.
