Off to a slow start - only two years in the last 50 have made it to June 17th without a N Hemisphere named storm. But a couple of current disturbances may just get going by then.

1 - invest 90L is currently a large area of intense thunderstorms over Florida (solving their drought problem BTW) and might just develop off E Florida later. Sea temps favourable but wind shear against.
2- on the same front lying across the Gulf of Mexico NOAA gives a 30% chance of a TD in the Gulf of Campeche in the next 7 days. Some existing spin may help. If either of these gets named, it will be Alberto.

Also an outside chance of development on the Pacific side of Mexico connected to the above.

Read this AP piece today on Yahoo:
"The strong El Nino weather condition that added a bit of extra heat to already record warm global temperatures is gone. It's cool flip side, La Nina, is likely to breeze in just in time for peak Atlantic hurricane season, federal meteorologists said.
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Thursday pronounced dead the El Nino that warms parts of the central Pacific. The El Nino, while not quite a record breaker in strength, formed a year ago has been blamed, along with human-caused climate change and overall ocean warmth, for a wild 12 months of heat waves and extreme weather." Etc.

It became TS Alberto, with big storm surges
https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/06/flash-floods-hit-mexico-coastal-flooding-reaches-texas-as-alberto-makes-landfall/ 

Two other disturbances to watch, one in the Gulf following Alberto, one moving to Carolina from the Bahamas, 40% probability of development but neither likely to be more than a passing TD.

Instead of flabby low pressure in the Caribbean (which still caused serious flooding if not stormy weather), there's now a promising disturbance crossing the Atlantic from Africa in the traditional way for hurricane formation , with conditions 'unusually conducive' for development. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc

The above is now TS Beryl and expected to arrive in the Windward Islands as a hurricane Sun into Mon continuing across Jamaica on Wed. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/024303.shtml?cone#contents

The current disturbance in the Caribbean may survive a crossing of the Yucatan peninsula and if so is likely to revive as a TD/TS in the Bay of Campeche.

TS Beryl upgraded to hurricane category 1, and intensifying rapidly - expected to be major hurricane category 4 when it reaches Barbados later today.
Ominously, this is the furthest east any hurricane has formed in June since 1933; and that year is the most active hurricane season on record.

Meanwhile TS Chris is giving E Mexico a soaking, but soon moving inland and fading out; another disturbance following in Beryl's tracks may be disadvantaged by cool water stirred up from the depths by Beryl.

Been a long time since Jamaica was hit by a significant hurricane. Surprised it’s got so little coverage considering the tens of thousands  of brits with Jamaican heritage over here

Whilst the BBC have been banging on about global warming with regards to Beryl the East Pacific hurricane season has had its slowest start to the season in at least 60 years and since reliabile records began!! But i doubt that'll feed into the GW agenda on the BBC

The BBC may have a point though, given the record SSTs in the central Atlantic this year, all set up to fuel hurricanes.

But we're not even into the official hurricane season yet so I'll reserve judgement on the pattern for this year.
