There’s not anything going on in the Atlantic today, but we are already on our second named storm of the year in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, which often leads the Atlantic season by a few weeks. Some of the long-range computer models are starting to show hints of activity in the Atlantic, although anything that far ahead is pretty unlikely. Still, it is time to make sure that your pre-season planning has been done and that you are ready to handle any tropical storm or other severe weather that may come your way. Here are some sources of information that you can use to help you prepare:
