Two tropical storms are close to forming in the Atlantic, unusually early in the year

Today's update on the two systems that could become Bret and Cindy is available on the Capital Weather Gang blog:

  1. "The eastern system is approaching the Windward Islands at an unusually low latitude (not even at 9 degrees north yet). It is expected to develop into the season’s second named storm, Bret, very soon, and then cross the southern Windward Islands on Tuesday."

    Is the easterly storm Bret or Cindy?

  2. Neither of them are named yet. They are both close to becoming tropical cyclones, and even tropical storms, so it's not obvious which will be Bret and which will be Cindy, although the eastern one appears a bit better organized... so my bets are on that one becoming Bret.
