goldsborosnow Posted November 16, 2020 16 hours ago, Windspeed said: ACE is now at 170. Probably going to hit 180 if Iota rapidly deepens into a Cat 4. The Greek list has been a season in of itself. Is there a way to tell how much ACE the regular names were responsible for vs how much the Greek names were responsible for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cptcatz Posted November 17, 2020 With nothing showing on any global models now, it looks like the season may be a wrap. Quite a crazy season. I think the most impressive stat is out of the 13 hurricanes, 10 made landfall at or near maximum intensity. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan11295 Posted November 17, 2020 Ultimately the WMO makes the final call on TC naming conventions for the N. Atlantic basin, even though the NHC can suggest changes. That said it is time to serious reconsider the use of Greek names and the lack of ability to formally retire them. Zeta, Eta & (probably) Iota would all normally be fairly strong contenders for retirement, with Delta probably being less likely. I know its unlikely the Greek names would be used very othen, but you wouldn't want the (small) chance you have another Hurricane Eta in a Caribbean in a couple of years.

Thanks for pointing that out. I should’ve taken a few minutes to look at the video before sharing it, but I trusted it was real. Will never understand why people do such dishonest things. After viewing it, it’s obvious it’s a loop of the same footage being run repeatedly. That aside, James captured great video on that Typhoon you mentioned.

CheeselandSkies Posted November 19, 2020 Thankfully, "Marco" turned out to be a big ol' nothingburger (it was supposed to be part of the much-ballyhooed "double trouble" of late August), so the call-and-response can possibly occur again in 2026.

Prospero Posted November 21, 2020 I've been saying for a few months that we in the Tampa Bay area won't consider ourselves out of the woods until Thanksgiving. Granted Eta was a visitor and I look forward to some time this week to finish cleaning up. But maybe the season is over for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see any threats looming. 2020 has been quite a year, but I am not concerned about any tropical threats right now for us. Waiting for cold fronts to come down and give us rain now...
