Hurricane season officially starts June 1st, so I wouldn't really call this "unusually early".

You can call it anything your heart desires. The rest of us who understand statistics would consider it "unusually early" when 99% of tropical storms and hurricanes occur after May. In fact, 88% of storms occur after August.

Check back in when you have something useful to offer in the discussion.

You're probably right. A storm 2 days before what we humans consider to be the "season" is indeed extremely alarming... I guess we're doomed. This could signal the final stages of Climate Change (tm) and we're completely screwed.

Nauti ... Do you really believe T.S. Bonnie actually has tropical storm force winds? If not, then we may conclude that this isn't a particularly early storm, can't we? Former NHC Director Neil Frank has said that the NHC is naming "storms" that wouldn't have been named during his tenure.
