my birthday is Friday, and there has not been a named storm in the Atlantic on July 23 since 1985

it would be a nice birthday surprise to see this as a storm on Friday, but I honestly do not forsee that happening

side note: I wish I had found this site and registered before last year (like in 1999) so I would have physical evidence of my former forecasts
(a few have questioned if I really forecasted that accurately; no one on this forum that I know of, but people I knew here)
