There were always 4 floaters on this page. Floater 1 is currently on the (former?) Invest 95L, by the way.

There's also 4 EPAC floaters and 4 WPAC floaters, though WPAC is MTSAT.

And now they are adding the names of the systems at the different Floaters,for example,Floater for 96L,Floater for ExtraTropical Helene and it goes on.They are really improving things at NHC.

I thought that was a great idea since I have trouble remembering what floater is on which system. It will also help new people who visit the site to know what they are.
