Panel to consider whether hurricane season should start weeks earlier

With named storms coming earlier and more often in warmer waters, some assumptions about the Atlantic hurricane season are being rethought.

For six straight years, Atlantic storms have been named in May, before the season even begins. On Wednesday, a special World Meteorological Organization committee will discuss whether the hurricane season should be moved a couple of weeks earlier. The National Hurricane Center has already decided to start issuing its routine tropical weather outlooks for the Atlantic on May 15.

NOAA has already made it clear they will not change this year... I'd be surprised if they change it in the future. The preseason ones are very rarely big issues for the CONUS.
