An active tropical weather season keeps going

Here comes Tropical Storm Vince.

Each season, the National Hurricane Center uses a pre-determined list of tropical cyclone names. There are 21 names on each year's list. Number 21 this year is Wilma.

If we go past 21 named storms, NHC uses the Greek alphabet - Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc.

Well, it was interesting to me...

UPDATE: Vince is going to Europe.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Vince isn't going anywhere.

TRIPLE UPDATE: Vince makes history.
