Not expecting this buuuuut, have we ever had to retire a greek named storm? I don't think so but this is 2020 right

I don't think any Greek names were retired in 2005. If my memory serves me correct, we had Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan
&
Wilma


That said, I do know a Greek guy named Stan...so perhaps?
 
I hope this can bring Shetley some much needed rain! ?
 
Interesting note the Gamma recon for this evening has been redirected to Delta so we won't have as much of a gap if it is rapidly intensifying now

The SHIPS Rapid Intensification Index gives a
better than 50 percent chance of a 35-40 kt increase in wind speed
over the next 24 hours. The NHC intensity forecast follow suit by
calling for rapid intensification over the next day or so, and
Delta is forecast to be a major hurricane when is passes near or
over the northeastern portion of the Yucatan peninsula.
 
Current SSTs for the Gulf and W Caribbean: per the progged path, the waters Delta will be crossing won't be getting below 29 C/84 F for another 72 hours or so. :eek: :eek:

Normals for Oct: Based on this, the W Car and S Gulf are a good 1C/2 F or so warmer than normal whereas the N Gulf is near normal vs the much near record warmth for early Oct just preceding Michael in 2018:
