UPDATE BY: Jim Williams...The Atlantic basin remains unfavorable for storm formation for the time being. There is an area in the N.E Atlantic that NHC is keeping their eyes on but not much development is expected due to wind shear.
A recent press release suggest's different types of El Nino's form based on the location of the warmer waters according to climatologists at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The El Nino potential has been the big story going into the 2009 Hurricane Season with predictions of an average to below average amount of named storms for the Atlantic basin. This new type of El Niņo, known as El Niņo Modoki (from the Japanese meaning "similar, but different"), forms in the Central Pacific, rather than the Eastern Pacific as the typical El Niņo event does. Warming in the Central Pacific is associated with a higher storm frequency and a greater potential for making landfall along the Gulf coast and the coast of Central America. We have seen similar events to this like in 2004 when Florida had an active hurricane season. Will that happen this year? I am still holding to 13 named storms with South Florida at high risk for a named storm. You can see my high risk cities on my predictions page
