So—from clicking on the two links in the new note and trying to eyeball where those vertical lines are—the significant thing is that the systems in 1979 stayed relatively close to the North American coast, and didn't make it into the western Pacific? --

The information in the second sentence seems more descriptive of the season than the information in the first. I'd rearrange accordingly.
I think the notability of the first statistic gives it leeway to go first. For example, 2020 had a record 30 storms in the Atlantic, and stating that first is more descriptive, but it's probably better to lead with the fact it was the most active season on record first.

See what you think about my edit. I think it makes sense to start with a summary of the season and then its significance. Indeed, labelling it an "inactive season" sets up the fact that it had a notable lack of tropical cyclones. --

Had any systems developed within the Central Pacific, they were most likely to form between June 1 and November 30. Those dates conventionally delimit the period during each year when most tropical cyclones occur. — This feels like footnote material.
What's the point of the gray? If the text didn't say "Names that were not assigned are marked in gray", I probably wouldn't have noticed it; it's practically indistinguishable from the black.
