Post Season Upgrade?

In the Invest 92L discussion forum, people were saying that this could be upgraded to TD 1 at the post season outlook that the NHC does. What happens if we get TD 1 from another tropical wave and then the NHC goes back and looks at 92L and determines that it was a TD? Because now we would have two TD 1's. I was just wondering if anyone could clear this up for me
Thanks

Future storms would have their storm numbers changed accordingly. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma was operationally TD24; because there was an unnamed subtropical storm (designated 21L), Wilma became 25L; i.e. the 25th Atlantic system of 2005.
However, I would find it highly unlikely that the NHC would posthumously upgrade a low to merely a tropical depression. I'd think it'd be more likely for the NHC to upgrade any area of interest to TS status; a TD upgrade is really unlikely.

Ok Chacor, thanks for clearing that up
