July 15, 2002 at 11AM is when the first named storm of the season formed. Tropical Storm Authur, formed from Tropical Depression one in the Atlantic. It'll get a little more chance to live before moving north and becoming extratropical.

This is another quick update. Elsewhere, nothing much is going on.
