2016-17 Antarctic Cyclone Season

The 2016-17 Antarctic Cyclone Season is a future event in the Southern Ocean basin. The season will officially begin on November 1 and will end on March 30, dates that typically delimit the start and end of the season, however polar cyclone formation is possible anytime of the year, as shown by Subpolar Storm Anthony which formed almost 2 months before the official start of the season.

On September 8, the CDMC started to monitor an area of low pressure for polar cyclone formation. The next day, the CDMC sent recon flights into newly designated "Invest 90A" and they found a closed circulation and 60 mph winds, so the next advisory from the CDMC officially named Subpolar Storm Anthony.
