June. 4—All dressed up, and nowhere to blow.
Forecasts for the Atlantic hurricane season all predicted above-average activity in the basin, with somewhere between 16 and 20 named storms (AccuWeather) and 14 to 21 named storms (NOAA).
But a curious thing happened in the first part of the season.
No Atlantic named storm has occurred since Colin weakened to a tropical depression on June 2. Only four times in the past 30 years has the Atlantic spawned no named storm activity between June 3 and June.
