Atlantic hurricane season starts/Bud may be following Aletta

With June 1st about 3 hours old in GMT, it is now officially the 2006 hurricane season in the Atlantic. Nothing looks imminent there, but the Eastern Pacific is already off to a strong start. Closely on the heels of Aletta, there is a tropical wave off the coast of Acapulco which the National Hurricane Center is monitoring. Should another storm develop from this wave, it would become Bud.
