Should the NHC use the N. Atlantic's 2004 name list for naming this system? That way people from Brazil can take it more seriously. What do you think?

It's an Atlantic storm.. so I say yes.. I just hope we don't have to start watching it soon lol.. The pictures are just phenomenal

I don't know. It is in the South Atlantic. It is a tough choice. I voted no, but I would be very happy if it was named Alex.

Sorry guys (and gals) but no. It's a different basin, different hemisphere, and has no correlation to its North Atlantic counterparts.

Then again, since it's spinning opposite of North Atlantic storms, if it must have a name, call it XELA!

LOL XELA? lol

weatherluvr, it is named 1L on NRL Montery, though. It even has its own satellite picture. I should have voted yes...

Josephine96 · #9 Postby **Josephine96** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 3:19 pm

Yes or No.. Sounds like we're switching faster than 1 of Kerrys flip flops lol..

{I am actually voting for Kerry though lol }

LOL, yea. Who is going to give advisories on this system? NHC or JTWC? NHC may because it is the Atlantic, but JTWC has the Southern Hemisphere covered, even the Southeast Pacific where nothing happens. Will advisories even be given?

Josephine96 · #11 Postby **Josephine96** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 3:30 pm

I can't answer about if there will ever be advisories Hinker.. but hopefully the South Americans know what a hurricane is..

Otherwise they are about to get a crash course :wink:

I Voted No because its in the South Atlantic and it will offset the numbers for up here which i dont agree with for reasons i have stated before about inflating named system numbers.

Name it something else but dont use the names for the northern Atlantic/Carib (Our systems). JMHO.

Nice to see though!

I voted no because it is a different area SOUTH ATLANTIC not the north atlantic basin.As KOW said if they begin to name systems in the south atlantic then it will be an inflated season in terms of the numbers for the north atlantic basin which includes the GOM,the caribbean,the western,central and eastern atlantic.

NO. If they name it, come up with a name other than what's on the 2004 NORTH Atlantic list.

That's it right there ... it's in the South Atlantic, period ... We DON'T use a North Atlantic Name to denote a SOUTH ATLANTIC HURRICANE ... I think Hurricane #1 (or #2, considering the possible TC back in January) will suffice ...

It's in NO hurricane agency's area of responsibility, therefore the local agencies will handle the system ... and many of the mets are more than qualified down there to handle this IMHO, so it shouldn't be that much of an issue regarding the tracking and forecasting ...

I agree completely...

Thanks everyone for your opinions and answers! Keep them coming!

It's interesting to note that the South Atlantic has sparked 2 systems this year. Will this be a trend? Well, if it becomes a regular trend, they should have some names but, if it's only isolated cases then why bother naming them (I wouldn't say what it is yet, since more out of season systems have been developing lately).

Anyway, it's good the NHC is working with those weather agencies down there to keep them informed, since the vast majority of the knowledge of these storms, comes from north of the equator where the experience is located.

They cannot name it, we already did at our office. Since no one is stepping up to name it, we've taken it upon ourselves to name it "Ed" after one of our forecasters who's leaving today. So its name is now officially "Ed". :wink:

Ed... that has a nice ring to it.

It's Hurricane Ed!

Should the NHC use the 2004 Atlantic's name list to name it?

Do you think the NHC should use the 2004 Atlantic names to name this hurricane? In other words, should it be named Alex?
