Question about names crossing over from Pacific to Atlantic

[Ed Mahmoud]

This is all academic. The center of Alma is heading deeper into the mountains, and will dissipate. Odds that a mid level center will survive to see the Atlantic/Caribbean are slim. Slightly better chance it makes it back to the Pacific.



In my amateur and unofficial opinion.

I know what you were quoting, Chacor

However, I have not heard of any changes since the protocol was revised after Cesar/Douglass. I can ask next time I am at NHC

There was an article about Hattie-Simone-Inga in Weatherwise some years ago (and by some I mean 40+) that disucssed the relationship and it was clear from synoptic surface map presented in the article that Hattie's circulation and low pressure survived passage into EPAC-less clear was whether Simone did so and the implication is that San Francisco (which issued EPAC advisories those days) dropped the advisories on Simone.

I haven't seen you in a while. Interesting you mention that.

Hmmm, copied from different thread...

If the latest track on Alma plays out, then technically we will have a caribbean depression on our hands sometime tomorrow..



It is going to be pretty weird to see that happen! A Pacific named storm wandering the Atlantic (and retaining its Pacific name) will definitely be an interesting first.

this discussion from Iris clearly states that the name is retained if advisories are terminated, but the LLC survives

The current policy is governed by the current NHOP, and this document couldn't be more explicit that advisories must now be continuous. The current policy has been in effect for a few years now.

I said, I will check, probably at the next Miami AMS meting
