I understand why they name it I don't understand why they don't count their ACE. Subtropical cyclones can be as dangerous as tropical cyclones, remember Olga from 2007 it made a lot of damage while still subtropical though later it transitioned to tropical.

Well if the point of ACE is to measure the accumulated energy of tropical cyclones, why would you include something that isn't tropical?

Getting a name is like getting past the bouncer and into the club. But you gotta be special to get in the ACE VIP Room :lol:

I think Otto has decided it wants to try and add some ACE and its starting to look a little more tropical at last.

This system should be good for 5-10 units depending on how strong Otto eventually becomes, then that leaves us within touching distance of a hyperactive season.

I'm gunna guess Otto gives us 5 more units of ACE putting us near 138. Would still need around 2 more hurricanes I'd say to put as at hyperactive status. Will be a close call.

If we get the typical slow moving hurricane in the WCAR, we should get easily to the hyperactive level

I suppose. It depends how strong that hurricane would get. If it stays a minimal hurricane, we would need around four days of hurricane strength to get close to hyperactive status. Would have to be a very slow mover with that forecasted shear belt to the north. Unless it becomes a major, making hyperactive status much more attainable.
