"For all intents and purposes"

(Pretty mild by this thread's standards, but still)

Tropical Storm Melissa Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132025
500 AM EDT Fri Oct 24 2025

For all intents and purposes, Melissa is nearly stationary over the
north-central Caribbean Sea.

Newest discussion on Tropical Storm FUNG-WONG by the JTWC

TD 32W WILL SOON CROSS THE THRESHOLD TO
TROPICAL STORM FUNG-WONG STRENGTH

Because the name is ominously about a phenoix and about wind as well, and it could become a strong typhoon in the coming days.

I was randomly browsing the archives for 2016, and found this for Hurricane Pali, which peaked as a Cat 2 in the CPAC in January:

HURRICANE PALI DISCUSSION NUMBER 19
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI CP012016
500 PM HST MON JAN 11 2016

IT IS RATHER SURREAL TO BE SAYING THIS IN JANUARY...BUT THE
SATELLITE PRESENTATION OF PALI HAS CONTINUED TO IMPROVE TODAY WITH
THE RAGGED EYE BECOMING BETTER DEFINED IN VISIBLE IMAGERY.
MICROWAVE
IMAGERY HAS ALSO SHOWN THE EYEWALL BECOMING BETTER DEFINED.
SUBJECTIVE INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM THE PARTICIPATING AGENCIES WERE
UNANIMOUS AT 4.5 AND THE UW-CIMSS ADT GAVE 5.1. THUS...NOT ONLY IS
PALI NOW A HURRICANE...BUT THE EARLIEST RECORDED HURRICANE IN A
CALENDAR YEAR IN THE CENTRAL PACIFIC BASIN. THE PREVIOUS RECORD WAS
HELD BY EKEKA IN JANUARY OF 1992. YET ANOTHER RECORD TO STACK ON THE
EVER-GROWING PILE OF RECENT RECORDS DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE ONGOING
STRONG EL NINO.


HURRICANE PALI DISCUSSION NUMBER 26
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI CP012016
1100 AM HST WED JAN 13 2016

PALI CONTINUES ON ITS UNUSUAL JANUARY JOURNEY THROUGH THE FAR
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE CENTRAL PACIFIC BASIN.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS
ESTIMATED TO BE 200/6 OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS...BASED PARTLY ON
A SMALL ADJUSTMENT TO THE 12 UTC POSITION USING MICROWAVE IMAGERY
OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. DEEP CONVECTION NEAR THE CORE CONTINUES TO
BE DISRUPTED...PERHAPS IN PART DUE TO THE MODERATE SOUTHWEST SHEAR
OF 15 TO 20 KT ANALYZED OVER THE SYSTEM FROM THE UW-CIMSS AND SHIPS
ANALYSES. THE CURRENT INTENSITY OF 70 KT IS BASED ON A BLEND OF
FINAL-T AND CURRENT INTENSITY NUMBERS FROM HFO...JTWC...SAB...AND
THE CIMSS ADT. OUR ESTIMATE COULD BE GENEROUS...AS THE CIMSS SATCON
ESTIMATE WAS ONLY 58 KT.

I see this while browsing the 2020 archives here recently, and rediscovered it off of the NHC website:

...WILFRED FORMS IN THE EASTERN TROPICAL ATLANTIC...
...GET OUT THE GREEK ALPHABET FOR THE REST OF 2020...

From Warning 11 by the JTWC on Tropical Cyclone Fina

HAFS has been persistent in this overall depiction for the last several model runs, though COAMPS-TC is a newcomer to this game. That does not change the fact that this scenario remains highly unrealistic, though the overall trend of intensification beyond 24 hours is consistent with the ECMWF, GFS and SHIPS guidance.
