We're on the same side of the country, but I wouldn't say we're "close".

New Tropical Storm

Tropical Storm Philippe developed yesterday just east of the Lesser Antilles and now this morning there is Tropical Depression 18 near the Bahamas, it will likely become Rita today.

So here we are, September 18 and only four names left. Since we started naming storms ~50 years ago we have never gone through the list but it looks like it will happen this year. According to the WMO if a storm develops after we have a "Wilma" cyclone it will be given the name "Alpha"...we will start using the greek alphabet.

The full listing

Can you see residents writing "Go Away Gamma!" on the plywood over their windows? Or the concerts for Epsilon relief?!?

With 73 days left in the official season we may see it...

Yep, the Weather Channel was saying a new one Philippe, had developed, but the next one, possibly Rita, is the one they're concerned about; could be a monster.

I'm not sure how they discern that, but it's what they alluded to.
