COLUMBIA (WACH) -- A disturbance in the Atlantic is catching the eye of forecasters at the National Hurricane Center.

The NHC is only giving the area of low pressure a ten percent chance of tropical cyclone formation. The disturbed weather is about 450 miles north-northwest of Puerto Rico. This unique occurance is nothing more than poorly organized thunderstorms.

"It's very unusual to see something this early," says SkyWACH Weather Anchor Justin Kier. "It's a great reminder to everyone that even though this storm stands no chance of impacting South Carolina, that you should have a hurricane kit ready."

Considering that hurricane season's official start is more than a month away, this disturbance is attention grabbing.

Kier says that it may have an opportunity to become sub-tropical before Saturday when wind shear should tear it apart. The disturbance is moving at 10 miles per hour towards the northwest.

"The conditions just aren't there for a lot of development," says Kier. "The public shouldn't consider this a sign that 2011 will be a more than active year. It's more a novelty than anything else."

Active season or not, it only takes one hurricane in your community to be a significant year. 1992 was a below average year that featured the devastating category 5 hurricane Andrew. Andrew rocked Florida and caused significant financial damage. 2010 was an above average year without a landfalling hurricane.

This month two hurricane names were officially retired, Tomas and Igor.
