The first named storm of the 2007 Atlantic Hurricane season has officially formed off the coast of Florida, nearly three weeks before the season usually begins. The winds from the system is currently helping to fan the wildfires in the states of Florida and Georgia, which have had recent drought conditions. Heavy precipitation along the coastal areas and high surf conditions may result. The system is relatively stationary right now, but it will be interesting to see how a cell like this forms and tracks so early in May. I will be posting more on this as it develops.
