2035 Atlantic hurricane season (Bob)

The 2035 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active on record, surpassing 2005. This season began at a record early date (January 2) with the formation of Subtropical Storm Arlene in the central Atlantic.

Subtropical Storm Arlene
In late December 2035, an area of low pressure developed in the central Atlantic. On December 30, the NHC noted in a Special Tropical Weather Outlook that some weak subtropical development was possible before the system moved northeastward into unfavorable conditions in the eastern Atlantic. On January 1, the cyclone began acquiring some tropical characteristics. Deep convection began wrapping around the center early on January 2. At 15:00 UTC that same day, the convection had become significantly deep enough for the system to be classified as Subtropical Storm Arlene with 45 mph winds - making it the earliest named storm in Atlantic history. Initially, cool waters were expected to cause Arlene to dissipate in just 48 hours. However, it slowed down and was able to develop a ragged eye on January 4, and strong vertical instability allowed Arlene to acquire a peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph, just below hurricane strength. However, Arlene never managed to become fully tropical. Arlene remained at this intensity until it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on January 7. Arlene did not cause any damage or deaths, as it did not affect land.
