1982 What-might-have-been Atlantic hurricane season (Cooper)

The 1982 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1982, and lasted until November 30, 1982. It was a below average season that produced eight storms (of which one was subtropical), four hurricanes, and one major hurricane. The season featured the third lowest number of named storms in a single season since official naming began in 1950. The season started earlier than the official beginning on June 1 with Tropical Storm Alberto forming on May 27. Alberto was the first named storm in May since Hurricane Agnes in 1972.
