See the issue with that is that it isn’t over for a storm till the fat lady sings. Systems that have had a wall of shear, pockets of dry air, and low sst’s can and have still managed to organize and later become devastating to areas.
To not name and monitor systems that are currently weak just because we presume it will 100% follow our predictions (orders?) would be highly irresponsible.
Fact is pre-season storms have a habit of spinning up abruptly and at times close to land, and $200 million damages and 20 deaths since only 2012 (which was noted on the WMO discussion about this issue) is no small number to those who were impacted by them.
