^ None of that. For the purpose of this thread, greek letters are storm names.

Nope. I believe it will be Zeta. We have awhile to go yet. Hopefully no more landfallers.

I actually predicted Beta eons ago.

That looks conservative. :eek:

I'm going with Zeta also. The first ever (someone verify that for me, I'm not sure) Christmas tropical storm.

How about Omega, since we have Alpha?

Seriously, I would not be too surprised to see Beta and Gamma, given that we have a very active tropical year. Epsilon is a stretch, but might be doable.

(to be revisited as we huddle in January after Subtropical Storm Kappa knocks out our power...) (ha.ha.)

something that would be wicked interesting is if this season spills over into January. it's been an incredible season so actually I wouldnt doubt it happening. the thing is if it spills into 2006, then 2006 gets the names so we could have an early start to the 2006 season!

I went ahead and ran the climatological curve model against this season's named storms. (I'll run the complete data later this evening and post it in my NTC post in the Tropical Analysis forum) Taking climatology and applying this season's rate of activity to it (basically: climo * ~220-230%), it foresees a total of 24-25 named storms, with some weight on the 24 number. That number also would include any December storms. If this verifies... Gamma or Delta.
