2023 Hurricane Season Starts Early with First Storm in January
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has announced that the first subtropical storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season formed in mid-January off the coast of the northeastern United States. Although it didn't receive the subtropical storm designation until May, it garnered attention from meteorologists. Records show that named systems have occurred in every month of the year. The first tropical storm will be named Arlene, the first name on the 2023 Atlantic storm name list.
