Zeta

So, working in preparedness, my job is to worry about such things.

 

Zeta has formed.

 

No danger, though.  He (she?) is nowhere near us and is headed east.  She (he?) should be dissipated by late New Year's Day.

 

For weather geeks, a discussion on NOAA's site on whether or not Zeta or Alice will end up being the latest forming storm in the Atlantic Basin.

 

Quote on nomenclature (NOAA uses ALL CAPS):

ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE SEEMS TO WANT TO DEVELOP TROPICAL STORMS AD NAUSEAM...THE CALENDAR WILL SHORTLY PUT AN END TO THE USE OF THE GREEK ALPHABET TO NAME THEM.

 

Any bets on when Alberto & Beryl will form?
