Tropical Depresion Alberto in May?

Yes this post is correct, there is a tropical depression in the Atlantic Ocean in the month of May!  Tropical Depression Alberto formed late Saturday just off of the coast of South Carolina.  It tracked southwest towards Florida until it made a U-turn, Monday afternoon, just east of the Georgia/Florida border.  Alberto is now heading in a northeasterly direction at 13 kts with the highest and latest sustained wind speed at 30 kts with gusts up to 40 kts.  The tropical depression is expected to dissipate within the next 48 hours as it moves towards cooler water and strong vertical wind shear is present.  While May is globally the month with the smallest probability for tropical storm development, it comes right before the official start of hurricane season in the Atlantic ocean.  June 1st kicks off the start of hurricane season and it lasts through November 30th.
