Sigma, if I rember my Greek Alphabet correctly, the 3rd letter in the Greek Alphabet will be the last storm.

Other way around. The alphabet goes Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, and Omega. I may be missing one or two. There used to be "Digamma" (Greek form of the English letter F), but it largely fell out of use.

I know the Greek letters from my days as an astronomy trivia lover.

(EDIT: Missed Xi. I put it in the right place.)

Well I'm seeing signs of this season being as active as 1995 at this early stage so I will say the T storm as well, Teddy

Personally, I do see it being active, but I see it only reaching S. It's Sandra this year, right?

EDIT: Sally. Never mind.

Less conservative estimate: Beta

Late December either way.

The last name this season will be the last storm to be named in 2008 by the NHC! Fair and squared. :D :D :D

Well, if I stick with my original S2K forecast Wilfred is it.
