User blog:Hurricane Layten/SS Ana active...waht did i say?...

As I have said, even before Ana's precursor became a disturbance for investigation, it will likely be a subtropical or tropical storm within the next few days. Ana is likely to attain a peak of 50 mph before landfall, but I don't think we are going to be seeing a fully tropical storm in nature. if it does complete the transition, it would be the earliest fully tropical cyclone to make an impact on the USA since records began in 1851. -- What a coincidence...Ana, 12 years later, becomes the 2nd earliest modern day tropical or subtropical storm to form - Ana in 2003 formed on April 20, claiming the record, and now this years Ana has formed on May 8, taking the record for the 2nd earliest storm on modern record. --
