La Nina is favored to continue through the season.

Models depict a strong and fast eastward moving Kelvin wave from the Indian Ocean to Africa over the next two weeks. This increases chances of tropical cyclone formation in the time period. The GFS has been showing development in the east Pacific first and then near the the Yucatán Peninsula/ Caribbean Sea.

The 12z GFS wind gusts swath and the 18z GFS output. Now granted the GFS may be off it's rocker with the central pressure/intensity, but the idea of another early season May tropical development is increasing. Looking back at past hurricane years, the only known hurricane which was a reanalysis done by Michael Chenoweth and Cary Mock back in 2013 was Hurricane "Amanda" in 1863. Made landfall in the Florida panhandle. This is the only hurricane to form in the Gulf and make landfall on the Gulf Coast in the month of May.

There have been May hurricanes, but I don’t know of any majors.

The 18z GFS develops this to 950mb in the central Gulf on May 26th.

The GFS remaining consistent on development. Look for surface pressures to start falling on Thursday in the southern Caribbean sea and transfer towards off the coast of Belize. There are a few other models showing more consolidated surface pressure there come next weekend.

The southern Caribbean sea is firing off a lot off deep convection. Wind shear looks to be relaxing in the vicinity.

The recent MJO weekly assessment bullet points that the "Kelvin wave is forecast to continue to propagate quickly across the Pacific and possibly into the western Atlantic, potentially leading to early season tropical cyclone development".

James Spann mentioned this morning about the Saharan dust coming across the Atlantic and how that will suppress any tropical activity for
The next week or so.

Models are picking up on a small tropical feature in the northern gulf Sunday into Monday moving inland. An increase in rainfall and severe weather should accompany it.
