Weather lovers, Atlantic Hurricane Season has officially begun! Most officials are predicting between 12-17 named storms for the season, and they are currently watching an area near Florida called Invest 91L. These areas are typically numbered between 90 and 99, and an 'invest' is an area of interest. Also, the L shows that it is in the Atlantic. Areas in the Pacific are labeled with E instead (ex. instead of 91L, it would be 91E). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also predicts five to nine of those to become hurricanes, and at most four of those to become major hurricanes (Category 3 or stronger).
On another note, the Scripps National Spelling Bee finals took place on Thursday night, with Dev Shah bringing home the prestigious trophy. After 14 grueling rounds, he and Charlotte Walsh faced off in the final round, with Shah somehow spelling bathypitotmeter with ease, and Walsh misspelling the word daviely. After that, Dev Shah, number 36, at fourteen years old, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee with the word, psammophile. Congratulations Dev!
