It’s here! The official start of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season is today. Currently, there are no active systems in either the Atlantic and Pacific water basins. Forecasters predicted, earlier this year, a near-normal to above normal season for the Atlantic Hurricane Season . Though there are no active system, this season has become the third straight Atlantic Hurricane Season to start early due a tropical depression on May 28th. The tropical depression which formed of the coast of the eastern United States (near Rhode Island and Nova Scotia) and was was named Tropical Depression One and was predicted to not be a threat to the United States. The depression sustained maximum winds of 35 mph (55 kph), and dissipated over the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The official runs from June 1st to November 30th and when the first tropical storm sustaining wind speeds of 39 to 72 mph (68 to 118 kph), is formed, it will earn the name of ANA.
