The 2016 tropical storm season is making its mark with an unusually early start. Tropical Storm Bonnie promises to wash out coastal plans for the Carolina coast.

Naming storms so early IS BAD for citizens. Home owner insurance companies activate the hurricane deductible on coverage the minute the storm gets named. BAD BAD BAD

Naming storms so early IS BAD for citizens. I agree wholeheartedly, George.
On the other hand, naming marginal storms is good for government bureaucracies that depend on funding from Congress. Naming marginal storms is also good for those who promote the fraudulent Climate Change narrative.

It's weird how T.S. Bonnie weakened as it approached the South Carolina coast. Or maybe not so weird. Last year's T.S. Ana officially dropped from 60 m.p.h. to 45 m.p.h. as it approached the South Carolina coast. I'm not aware of any land-based station that recorded tropical storm force winds.
Now why would the NHC consistently overestimate the windspeed of tropical systems by 10-15 m.p.h.? And wouldn't such overestimation lead to more and earlier named storms?

While conspiracy theories are fun, they are not always based in fact. The warm Gulf Stream current was accurately predicted to strengthen this storm as it approached the U.S., while cooler waters closer to the continental shelf, wind shear and interaction with land were expected to weaken the storm.
There are no black helicopters in the grassy knoll for the storm system formerly known as TS Bonnie.

Looks like the Waffle House Index will be in full play this weekend.

Okay, Nauti, explain 2015's T.S. Bill. T.S. Bill reportedly struck Texas at peak intensity of 60 m.p.h. Since this happened in the western Gulf of Mexico, there can be no Gulf Stream claims. The Continental Shelf in the western Gulf goes out a long, long way. T.S. Bill
"formed" over the Continental Shelf. No excuse there, either.
Although T.S. Bill made officially made landfall at 60 m.p.h., only one land-based station -- and automated station on a barrier island -- recorded tropical storm force winds and only of 40 m.p.h. (Interestingly, that one automated station on a Texas barrier island was the only U.S. land-based station to report tropical storm force winds in 2015.)
The NHC repeatedly reports windspeeds that are 10-15 m.p.h. over actually recorded windspeeds. In T.S. Bill's case, it was 20 m.p.h. over the actual speed. Do you really not see a pattern?
