Assuming no named storm activity in the Atlantic through the 20th, this year's ACE will slip to just 17% of average for the date. Since 1970, only 3 years had a slower start: 1988, 1984, 1977. We're just getting into the heart of the season though, so don't let your guard down. pic.twitter.com/ZCoovTfcAt
