NorthHillsWx Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Looks like a wild race to the W storm. 22 had a lead but 98L is rounding turn 4 with momentum. Going to be down to the wire As I said that, 98L wins! Wilfred is born 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I wonder if the NHC has given any consideration to eliminating the practice of resetting the names to “A” at the start of each year. Instead, if the previous season ended in “G”, the first storm of the next season would start with ‘H”.This would eliminate the need for the Greek alphabet, and would also spread out the letters most impacted by being retired. I’m pretty sure they’re at the point of making up “I” names at this point.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will - Rutgers Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Paulette redeveloping would be appropriate. loops around and slams into Florida as a Category 3 right behind Hurricane Zeta or whatever we're up to by the end of the month. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydbuster Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 There is already discussions about what happens should a Greek name warrant retirement. Some say just add it to the list as "DELTA 2020" or something but keep the name for future usage. I have another idea. How about create an auxiliary list of names that can be replaced if need be? I think using colors would be a good idea. Of course without using possibly sensitive ones like black or white or brown. Maybe something like this: Auburn Bronze Copper Denim Emerald Fuchsia Gold Hickory Indigo Jade Khaki Lavender Maroon Neon Orchid Pink Ruby Saffron Teal Violet Walnut I came up with those quickly, and if you ever needed replacement names, here's a second list: Aqua Beige Crimson Dogwood Eggplant Frost Green Hibiscus Ivory Julep Kiwi Lilac Mint Nickel Orange Purple Rust Slate Turquoise Viridian Wisteria Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Perhaps a revision can be done in the coming year and they can formulate a better backup plan in the event we run out of names again. Unfortunately it's too late to avoid the issue this year. That being said.. Eggplant?.. Eggplant? Seriously? You're fired, Naso! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptcatz Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 How about they just retire the greek letter and not use it anymore? What are the chances that enough greek letters are retired that they eventually run out of letters? I'd say zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Really need a backup list of names that is used in this case. Some of the later Greek letters sound a lot alike also, Zeta, Eta, Theta, would be rather confusing if those storms were active at the same time. When 2005 happened, people assumed having that many storms would not repeated any time in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugalou Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 IMO they should stop having a list for every season. Just release a list and when its near exhaustion release a new one. Don't start over at A at the end of a season, just pick up where we left off. It also fixes the issue with all the beginning lettered names being retired at a higher rate than the back end of the alphabet. We really gain no scientific benefit by limiting a pool of names season to season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 That little yellow X off FL giving us some squalls today. NWS Melbourne has a special statement for coastal areas of Central FL last night. 4-8" of rain and 35-40 mph gusts. Several buoys had confirmed 40. That was a surprise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got home after being away this afternoon a few hours. One of the strongest wind days of the season and we've lost count on how many storms have touched us here this year around Tampa Bay. 35 mph gusts at Clam Bayou a few blocks from here on the water. Palm fronds scattered around the yard, few old dead oak branches down, potted plants tipped over, loose items tossed around outside, and I am taking down my wind chimes as they sound like a horror movie soundtrack as opposed to soft tinkling relaxing sounds we are used to... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term it will probably not develop much, maybe not a name. But around here we are never surprised to wake up and check the news to see a TD developed overnight when we were asleep. Watching the palms sway, oaks dance, feeling a very stiff steady warm breeze, it feels like "something", again. Then I watched a large swallowtail butterfly that was in the wind effortlessly fly from one hibiscus flower to the next as they were moving to and fro. It must weigh less than a typical bird feather, and had the DNA programming to adjust its wings and work with the wind, not against. Incredible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
