Then again, there have been some rather insane may surprises..

--

The Numbers: While on average, we may be surprised to see even ONE storm in May, but there have been Rare Events where there have been Two (Or Perhaps More) before the start of the actual season, with the case being seeing most recently in 2012 with Alberto and Beryl both forming in May, and Beryl making a record strong May Landfall.

The Intensity: There have been storms that have been anything from STD/TDs to STS/TSs, which you'd find more commonly in May, There HAVE been Hurricanes in May, with the BIGGEST May or Earlier Storm Being Able from 1951.. forming on May 15th (Which would really be The Start of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season) and becoming a 115 mph Category-3 Major hurricane in it's life.

So, weather or not THIS storm actually forms, it should be known (At least) that any storm that DOES form in May, does have the potential for something crazy, so it's not out of the question to see something crazy happen this month... Again, weather or not this Current invest develops into anything.
