Fire and Rain
The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season has already been downgraded to a mere depression. Andrea was initially classified a subtropical storm; the low pressure system formed outside the tropics but resembles a tropical storm in most other respects. Firefighters hope the storm will bring much-neeeded rain to drought-stricken Florida where 225 wild fires are currently burning in 52 (out of 67) counties. Hurricane season does not officially begin until June 1.

Love the blog.
We, meteorologists... nature watchers, etc... always gawk at the calendar date of hurricane season when storms flare up "early" or "late".
But truth be told, it's a human mark... not a natural boundary represented on the calendar.
It simply needs to be warm enough to make the cyclone.
