Forum:2015 Pacific hurricane season

Future Start
Well, since we were all complaining, I decided to make the forum. Anyway, I predict 17 named storms, 12 hurricanes, and 6 major hurricanes for the season. You guys can make your predictions on the betting pools. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  19:59, September 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I predict 19 depressions, 18 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 4 majors to form this season. It looks likely that the El Nino will continue. -- Steve820  | Chat With Me •  My Edits  •  ✉ 20:09, September 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * 20-11-5 for this season! :) Strongest storm names? Oh, how I wish Marty/Olaf were strong storms! People would be constantly on the Net making zebra and snowman memes! Or what about Rick? Rickroll? Lol. Enrique Iglesias? Anyway... back on topic, what about ACE units? What is your favourite storm name and why? rarity is best pony 03:20, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

IT's ALMOST NEW YEAR IN ESSEX :D but... This means Hawaii will be one of the last years to ring in the new year... GENEVIEVE must be hyper about the new year in Japan. Iselle? One of the last storms to ring in the new year. rarity is best pony 19:32, December 31, 2014 (UTC)

Hurricane Isis retired
Guess what guys, Hurricane Isis is going to get kicked from the list due to the sharing of the name with the infamous terrorist group. She's going to get replaced by either Iola (a different spelling of Lola, perhaps?), Ilene (Dover) or Ivette (an alternate spelling of Yvette, tbh.)  rarity is best pony 13:58, April 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * That hasn't been confirmed yet. YE Pacific Hurricane  23:03, April 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * It might not be confirmed yet, but it seems very likely it'll be retired due to that terrorist group. -- Steve820  Let's talk. •  See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 00:57, April 14, 2015 (UTC)

Since Ismael is retired for confusion with Israel, this has a very high chance of happening.-- Isaac829 E-Mail  01:23, April 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * The NHC recommended that the WMO remove Isis from the 2016 EPac list in their recommendations list sent to the WMO in the 37th session of the RA IV Hurricane Committee. You can view it here (see number 2). However, they didn't recommend that the WMO retire Iselle, Odile, OR Gonzalo from the naming lists. It would suck if none of them got retired, especially Odile, that name deserves to go. Ryan1000 15:05, April 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * NHC doesn't usually request retirements unless for political reasons like in this case. YE Pacific Hurricane  21:06, April 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * This doesn't surprise me, I knew the name 'Isis' would have a chance of retirement, after what happened to Adolph in 2001  leeboy100 My Talk! 14:09, June 29, 2015 (UTC)

AOI:South of Mexico
Behind 14-E, this one is at 20% for 5 days. More likely to become named than 14-E is, but it won't become strong if it does. Ryan1000 01:37, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * I really do hope "Kevin" is saved for this AOI and doesn't go to 14-E. We don't need an epic fail name-waster. -- Steve820  Let's talk. •  See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 01:59, September 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Why are we concluding that the system won't become strong already? YE Pacific Hurricane  04:37, September 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * The models don't really do much with this as it heads out to sea behind 14-E, or they haven't caught onto it yet. Although, I definitely have personal hopes this does become a strong storm, if the EPac gets just one more cat 4 this year, we'll beat 1992 for the most C4's ever in one season. Ryan1000 05:11, September 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Last three ECMWF runs have brought this to 983, 997, and 999 mbar. Probs a weak but large TS here, but too soon to say for sure. YE Pacific Hurricane  13:07, September 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * YE, I meant at that time for the name "Kevin" to go to this system, rather than the other one, because at that time, 14-E would have been the epic fail name-waster I was talking about, not this system. Anyway, I'm hoping for "Linda" out of this AOI! The EPac and CPac are really on a roll, as there are still 3 storms (Ignacio, Jimena, and Kevin) that are active, and plus this one. -- Steve820  Let's talk. •  See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 01:06, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

Okay... it's up to 60/80. The satellite presentation is looking fine, currently. Linda is almost guaranteed out of the invest. -- Steve820  Let's talk. • See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 00:17, September 5, 2015 (UTC)

98E.INVEST
Invest'd. As for the peak strength of this system, it will likely depend on how fast this gets going. If this gets going sooner than I think it will, Cat 3 or 4 is possible. YE Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  01:52, September 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Near 100%? Really NHC? This is a TD and you know it, just upgrade the damn thing already. And since it's only moving northwest at 5 to 10 mph, it might have enough time to intensify into a strong storm while remaining at sea. Ryan1000 01:16, September 6, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Fifteen-E
Now numbered, forecast to move northwest and become at least a category 1 Hurricane (Linda). Ryan1000 02:36, September 6, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Linda
Now named, forecast to become a hurricane a little longer than previously expected. Ryan1000 16:21, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks much better now than it did last night. May be nearing 45 knots now. Let's see if this can build an inner core in the near term. If it can, this will have a good chance at becoming a Category 4. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  16:39, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Linda is now at 60 mph! It should continue to strengthen, to eventually reach at least Category 2 status. In fact, I might say that she might have a shot at being a major sometime in her lifetime. But, a Category 4 could be hard for her to reach, and I'm a bit skeptical if she'll even get up to there. --<font face="Tahoma"> Steve820  Let's talk. •  See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 21:15, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Linda is pretty well-organized, and she's only moving northwest at 10 mph. Linda has at least 2, maybe 3 days to strengthen before conditions become unfavorable. I'd actually be surprised if Linda doesn't try to make a run at major hurricane status, but unless a miracle happens, she won't be repeating her all-time record 1997 incarnation. Ryan1000 01:22, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Cat 4's isn't anything hard to reach, especially with a thick CDO. This storms has 36-48 hours left, and is doing an okay job of building an inner core. NHC has this up to 60 in the ATCF which is a great estimate, maybe a little too high. This thing needs to finish it's inner core, close off an eye, and this should be ready to take off. One thing this does not hae on its side is time. This moved over the EPAC SST gradient by late Tuesday, and most models peak this sometime Tuesday afternoon. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  02:28, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Hurricane Linda
Linda's making a rapid run for it in intensity. Official forecast brings this just short of Cat. 3, but I have a hard time seeing this not make major right now. Jake52 (talk) 05:08, September 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Now it's forecast to make at least cat 3, though it could have a shot at cat 4. Ryan1000 11:54, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Category 2 now, 85 kts/973 mbar. Come on, Linda, become the record-breaking 8th Category 4 of the season! You can do it! --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 17:29, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, at this point I don't think we're even going to get a Category 3 out of Linda. :/ Was at 90 kts/969 mbar earlier, but is back down to 85 kts/973 mbar per ATCF. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 01:59, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, there's still a chance it could become a major later today (by UTC), but it needs to get it going the latest sattelite pics show the southwest quadrant being eroded somewhat. Ryan1000 02:06, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Up to 100 knts in ATCF after going down to 80 knts. Now Linda is actually clearing out an eye lol. If it can maintain itself, Cat 4 is possible again, but I doubt it will. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane

Major Hurricane Linda
Not bad, Linda, not bad! A last-minute stint of RI has brought it to 105 kts/956 mbar (which Forecaster Brennan notes could be conservative) per the latest advisory. Fingers crossed Linda breaks a record by reaching Category 4 status, but if not, this season still has over two months left. (BTW, the above unsigned comment was left by YE.) --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 14:57, September 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Dylan, 8 major hurricanes at this time of year period is a pretty damn impressive feat as it stands. Even if Linda doesn't become a cat 4, we're already nearly 3 weeks ahead of 1992's record MH pace. That season didn't get it's 8th major hurricane (Tina) until September 28th. If the AOI behind Linda (which is now at 40% for 5 days) becomes a major hurricane in the long run, we'll be just one major hurricane short of tying 1992 for the most majors ever in one season. We're already one cat 4 short of breaking a 3-way tie at 7, but having over 10 majors in this season would bring this year's ACE within the top 5 highest ever (though it'd be tough for this year to beat 1990 and 1992's ACE totals). Ryan1000 20:22, September 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, played, Linda, well, played. Also, I noticed something. Even though, there is a chance that 1992's record for storms could fall this year, we might not make it to the Greeks, because of the record activity in the CPac. I mean, at this point in 1992 in the EPAC we were on the 'O' name Orlene, we are currently on the 'L' name. Although around the same time in 1992, a depression was wandering around in the Cpac for a few days and on September 8 (today) that storm would eventually become Iniki and we all know what he did. Anyways, getting back on topic, I'm actually surprised Linda did this. I didn't expect it, but good job! Also, I just found out something else, 2 of the most intense Pacific storms were on this very name list. Linda's other incarnation in 1997 and Rick of 2009, creepy. (Sorry for writing so much in this post, I've been more chatty than usual today. :P )   leeboy100 My Talk! 23:22, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

Hurricane Linda (2nd time)
That's a good point Ryan, I forgot to consider that because I was so caught up in the cavalcade of Cat 4s :P Anyway, Linda is falling rapidly at this point. The 9z advisory brought it down to 85 kts/969 mbar, and the 12z ATCF update down further to 75 kts/976 mbar. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 14:28, September 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Linda's falling apart now, and unfortunately it's remnants are drifting northeast into Baja and Arizona instead of north into California. But it was good while it lasted, and Marty-to be could be following right behind it. Ryan1000 19:04, September 9, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Linda (2nd time)
downgraded to TS. looks a lot post-tropical though. (the only wiki editor inside of Linda!) -<font face="Arial"> the destructive  Hurricane Odile  •  of  •  2014  15:16, September 10, 2015 (UTC)

 * I missed it being a major due to school and stuff, but bye Linda! Its remains are actually flowing here into SoCal, and in fact, we got some rain yesterday afternoon possibly associated with the remnants. And Leeboy, yeah, we're never going to forget that tragic day. --<font face="Tahoma"> Steve820  Let's talk. •  See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 23:06, September 10, 2015 (UTC)

Aoi:ECMWF system #2
ECMWF develops a system around 8-10 days behind the above system. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  13:07, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * 40% for 5 days. Here comes Marty...Ryan1000 20:25, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

99E.INVEST
Invest'd. Was upped to a 50% chance of developing for 5 days earlier, but was knocked back down to 40% with the latest update. Ryan1000 20:01, September 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Marty should come out of this invest by...about the weekend or so. And it seems to be another system with hurricane potential, even though the TWO says that environmental conditions are only expected to be somewhat favorable for developing. --<font face="Tahoma"> Steve820  Let's talk. •  See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 23:09, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Down to 0/30. Most global models don't do much with this system as this is a very complex setup (sparked by ex-Linda's outflow) with a possible GOM system thrown into the mix which could shear it as well as a system to its left and an ex-cold front into the GOC. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  01:02, September 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Gone from the TWO. I guess this one was too hyped...but since this year is still on one of the, if not the, strongest El Nino event(s) on record, we still have quite some time to beat or match 1992's major hurricane records. Ryan1000 19:05, September 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * This invest appears to be associated with a tropical wave, and I think it might still actually have a slight shot over the long run. Wouldn't be surprised if it sometime pops back on the TWO. --<font face="Tahoma"> Steve820  Let's talk. •  See My Edits  •  ✉ (Email me) 00:11, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

I see a new AOI in the EPac, could it be this one? It's 10/20 and could be Marty in the long run. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 15:27, September 13, 2015 (UTC)

 * If this is the same thing that 99E was, then it really doesn't seem to want to develop... I hope it finally quits this not forming act and becomes Marty, so we can keep breaking records this year in the Pacific! ~Raindrop57 (talk) 16:22, September 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I hope it gets its act together soon. We really want to see Marty from the invest! 20/30 BTW. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 23:05, September 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * At least it has more clouds on satellite then it did a couple days ago. It actually looks like it could become something eventually now, but it looked like that when it was 50% and ended up dropping off the TWO for a while. Please form, Marty! ~Raindrop57 (talk) 00:43, September 18, 2015 (UTC)



91E. INVEST
Invest'ed. It's the same system as above, but it's been invested with a new number. 30/30, and it only has a couple days before it enters unfavorable conditions. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 15:31, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * 40/40. Regardless on whether this develops, very heavy rain is likely over the SW US. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  21:02, September 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's 50/50 now, but even if it develops, it'll probably be weak, maybe as strong as Kevin at best. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 14:03, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Sixteen-E
Well, it became a tropical depression. Not forecast to become named, but I hope it becomes a weak TS instead of an unnamed TD. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 01:48, September 21, 2015 (UTC)

I really doubt this is going to be named and I am almost sure its not going as there are no ts warnings and its about to make landfall as I write. I am quite surprise that the Epac has just produce one name storm in September  (Linda) I am quite sure a disturbance might develop into Marty in the remaining 10 days of September but still this is a Strong and powerful El Niño. Even though the peak of the East Pacific is in August but a secondary peak in Oct if I am correct.Allanjeffs 01:58, September 21, 2015 (UTC)

theres a small chance of getting Marty on the Gulf of California. (like the Bay of Campeche, it's very circular) and note theres a lot of hot waters in the Gulf. so a RI is possible. --<font face="Arial"> the destructive  Hurricane Odile  •  of  •  2014  04:00, September 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah Allan there's a secondary peak for the EPac in early to mid October, around the time when the strongest October hurricane ever in the East Pacific (Rick) formed the last time this list was used. That year had it's fair share of epic fails before Rick though, and the CPac seems to be taking a lot of glory this year. We already set a record 5 storms with Loke, but now we have Malia and if 96C becomes Niala the CPac will have more than half the named storms that the EPac has thus far. Ryan1000 18:56, September 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * This depression has now well inland, and it wasn't named. So no name-wasting here.  leeboy100 Rita 2005-2015 22:15, September 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Dang it, missed this TD entirely! Well, luckily it didn't waste a name. But I also busted a personal forecast above! I thought it would have been Marty by that night, but it didn't develop until a day later and never became named. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 01:00, September 23, 2015 (UTC)

as everybody likes to left this wiki intentionally inactive... 30% and here it comes Malia... <font face="Arial"> the destructive  Hurricane Odile  •  of  •  2014  16:38, September 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wish this wiki had more users. And the CPac is already record active, are we really going to get 6 storms in the CPac this year, assuming this becomes something? O.O <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 04:55, September 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * 50% currently, but it doesn't have much time, as it is expected to become post-tropical on Friday night. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 23:06, September 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Down to 30%, but the CPHC has no idea what they're doing. This system has become a tropical cyclone, whether the CPHC wants to upgrade it to such is irrelevant. And idk why the CPHC has this becoming ET when no global models forecast such in the near future. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  21:01, September 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's 90% now, but it looks like a tropical storm already and there's banding features. Doesn't show any hints of becoming extratropical to me :/. Hopefully it's declared a tropical storm in the next advisory. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 02:25, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Five-C
And it's officially a tropical system. Still looks like it's a TS and not a TD though. Anyhow, it's forecast to reach 50 mph and not forecast to become extratropical until Monday. A weak storm, but decent for a CPAC storm, I guess. Wow, so much CPAC activity this year! ~Raindrop57 (talk) 03:02, September 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * We've already had a record 5 CPac named storms this year, if this becomes Malia we'd have 6. It could bring blustery conditions to the french frigate shoals as it heads north. Ryan1000 11:25, September 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Wow, the CPAC is being very hesitant on calling this a TS. 3 advisories in and it's still not been upgraded.


 * Edit: It's because of issues with finding the center. If the center is in the middle of the deep convection and not where it's currently shown, then it is a tropical storm for sure. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 14:59, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

The CPac is on drugs this year. Here comes our 6th named storm... :O <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 17:03, September 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Actually, this might just not become a named storm. It's losing it's deep convection, and it only has 24 hours to become a weak tropical storm at best. I still think it became a tropical storm a couple days ago, hopefully post-season analysis will reveal that it was if it fails to strengthen, which is becoming increasingly likely. But seriously, if Krovanh is still a TS with the way it looks currently, then there's no way this didn't become a TS.


 * Edit: A map of winds (earth.nullschool.net) only shows the thing having 30mph winds, along with about the organization of TD9's remnant. Really, TD5? That map also made me eat my words, because it shows Krovanh actually has a well defined center of circulation despite having almost nothing on satellite. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 03:19, September 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's circulation seems to be disorganizing more. This system really is trying to fail... ~Raindrop57 (talk) 14:42, September 20, 2015 (UTC)

 * Am I reading this correctly??!?!?! 6 named storms in the CPac in one year!?!?!?!?!?!  I'm wondering if we could at least ti​e 1992's record of activity! This is amazing!

Looks like my prediction was right. It was upgraded in the next advisory to a TD. It's forecast to become a tropical storm breifly, and it's getting better organized on satellite. Too bad it's weak, but a stronger storm that close to Hawaii would be bad anyway. Still though, assuming this doesn't suddenly die, that's 3 storms past the record for CPAC activity! ~Raindrop57 (talk) 04:18, September 25, 2015 (UTC)

 * Looking great on satellite for a 40 mph tropical storm, the forecast's been raised to 50 mph and I think it might get even stronger then that. Horray for seven CPAC tropical storms! ~Raindrop57 (talk) 15:15, September 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * The Cpac is nuts. Niala is more than a 40mph ts. She is strengthening fast base on satelites images. Might become a strong cat1 or 2, She is probably a 60 or 65mph ts right now.Allanjeffs 19:48, September 25, 2015 (UTC)

 * Crazy, the CPac is on a record-breaking roll this year. It looks like CPac drowned several gallons of Gatorade and alcoholic beverages to produce such crazy activity. The CPHC doesn't forecast a hurricane, but anything is possible and it could still have a slight shot at hurricane strength. I hope we can go for 8 storms!

 * Now 65 mph. A little better organized, but still not expected to become a hurricane. Ryan1000 22:46, September 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Since the CPac has gone insane and will do anything to make us surprised now (like the record activity which surprised us), I wouldn't be shocked if it became a hurricane. Though I wouldn't be too surprised if it failed to become one, either. I believe it might peak (at most) at 70/75 mph. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?   •   Stalk My Contribs   •   ✉  )  23:09, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

Mexico's going to want a LOT of the energy to drop out of this storm, because Marty's got good conditions going for it. I hope it doesn't get much closer than the forecast path. Jake52 (talk) 03:50, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's 70mph now, and there's a tropical storm warning for Mexico. I do hope it becomes a hurricane breifly, but then weakens before causing damage in Mexico. After all, we don't want Marty sending Mexico developmentally back in time, like Erika did to Dominica. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 15:28, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hurricane Marty
Aircraft found 70 kt winds, pressure estimated at 986 mbar. Hurricane Warning issued for the coast of south-central Mexico. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 20:51, September 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * It actually looks like it's weakning now due to land interaction, and the convection's getting less deep. It might only be a hurricane for six hours, but it's still enough to be bad for Mexico... It's still nice it was a hurricane as opposed to a 70 mph storm, as the damages aren't much different either way. Hopefully nobody dies from this. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 20:57, September 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hurricane Warning now in effect in parts of Mexico; Acapulco is on a Tropical Storm Warning as of the moment. Hopefully everyone there will be safe, but I'm kind of pessimistic about this. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 09:47, September 29, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Marty (2nd time)
As Joaquin has become increasingly ominous, Marty has more or less been left to the wayside. It spent only 9 hours as a hurricane before weakening back to TS status; currently it's at 45 kts/999 mbar. Dr. Jeff Masters has expressly stated that he does not expect Marty to be a big problem for Mexico; after Manuel and Odile, I hope he's right. --Dylan  ( HurricaneMaker99 ) 23:13, September 29, 2015 (UTC)

I guess my pessimism did not jinx Marty; it instead contradicted it. But anyway, Marty is becoming weaker and weaker, due to become extratropical in the next couple of days. Bye Marty! Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 16:09, September 30, 2015 (UTC)

Satellite imagery shows slight moisture over the area, and like all tropical waves, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a named storm in the very long run.

Tropical Storm Oho
Eight named CPAC storms! It's up to 40mph/1000mb, and it's still forecast to become a category 1. However, it could rapidly intensify and become stronger then that according to the SHIPS model, they noted in the discussion. Yay!

 * It could, but it's currently moving northeast at a rapid pace of 18 mph. This would send it into cool waters soon, and the speed could also somewhat prevent strengthening.

Oho is now a Category 2, and British Columbia should be prepared by Friday, as the storm approches.

Another epic fail that won't develop, ever. 10/10 on the latest TWO, and upper level winds will destroy it and crush it to pieces. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 04:35, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

 * Yeah, it's not going to redevelop. Ever. Though I do agree that it would be neat if it did do that, but I just really doubt it.

AOI: Middle of Nowhere
Out in the middle of the ocean, away from any landmass, there lies this new 10/40 AOI. Possible development is expected over the long run, and it surely does have Nora potential. The TWO also claims it's associated with a tropical wave, yet the "wave" doesn't even appear in the Tropical Weather Discussion. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 22:34, October 6, 2015 (UTC)

 * 40/70. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 12:38, October 7, 2015 (UTC)

 * Up to 60/80! I'd be shocked if it busted, as conditions are forecast to be conductive over the next few days or so. Here comes Nora! Also, it's finally being mentioned as a tropical wave in the TWD. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 01:36, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Eighteen-E
It's here, and already forecast to peak as an 85-kt Category 2. Fingers crossed this thing gives us the record-breaking 8th Category 4... --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 15:08, October 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * If it can become a cat 3 at least, we'd have 9 cat 3's. With 96E looking to be in favorable conditions in the long run, we might tie 1992's all-time record of 10 majors after all. Ryan1000 20:37, October 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * New advisory came out, it is still a tropical depression. Hopefully next advisory it will strengthen. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 21:49, October 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's convection's more organized now, should be a TS in the next advisory. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 01:48, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * It came quicker than I expected, but hello new TD! I see it becoming Nora by the time I wake up tomorrow morning. And then, it's pretty possible we may see a large major hurricane in the long term. This TD is one to watch for a potential powerful and epic hurricane. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 02:06, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * The forecast turns it back towards the EPAC basin in 4-5 days, when it has entered the CPAC. Maybe it will do what Oho got so close to achieving and cross from the CPAC to the EPAC basin while tropical! ~Raindrop57 (talk) 02:27, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Nora
Well, Nora is here! Official forecast has it peaking as a strong C1 now. Unless Nora rapidly intensifies, we won't get a C4 out of her. Owen 03:47, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * You made your text a heading again. Fixed it for you. It could become a strong storm still, we'll have to wait and see. Ryan1000 05:24, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't really think we'll see Nora turn into a Category 4 anymore, but at most, I would say Cat. 3 strength is possible. There's nothing really stopping this thing over the next few days. The NHC's initial forecast sometimes underrates a storm by saying it won't become a major, but then the storm intensifies into one. That could happen with Nora. Um, since C4 is quite the stretch, I would be surprised if it got that far but it still doesn't seem too out of the question. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 05:47, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * It doesn't have the best convective structure, and the forecast peak intensity is decreasing... At this rate it might not even be a hurricane. I hope it at least becomes a category 1 though. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 15:00, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * looks like Nora  Is Bae couls stall near 140W at the end of the forecast period.--<font face="Arial"> the destructive  Hurricane Odile  •  of  •  2014  15:10, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Um, actually Odile, she's expected to hug the 145W boundary instead while it begins to weaken from a hurricane near the end of the forecast. It's pretty much a bit frustrating to see the forecasted peak go down from (formerly C2 strength), and now it's going to only be a C1. -.- Still rooting for at least a C2 though! <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 15:40, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * LOL, Ryan, I noticed that Owen made his post a heading last night before I went to bed, but I don't know how to fix it, and I thought I'd let our great administrator (you) handle it ;)
 * Anyway's, it's official, Nora is here! Also, I was watching The Weather Channel yesterday, and when it was still a depression, it said that the forecast track took it into the Central Pacific and then back into the East Pacific. I don't know if it is still predicted to take that track, but has that ever happened before? I mean, I know that John of 1994 crossed into the WPac and back into the CPac, but has a storm done that at 140W before?  leeboy100 My Talk! 17:23, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Still absolutely horrible on satellite. It's got to get it's act together or it's going to be a 45 knot fail storm. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 17:23, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry about the edit conflict, Raindrop. Anyway's, it is possible for Nora to take that track and it's still predicted to, Meanwhile, I'm still curious as to whether a storm has crossed 140W twice before.
 * leeboy100 My Talk! 17:26, October 10, 2015 (UTC) (If I had a nickel for every time I forgot to sign my posts..)
 * I've read somewhere that a storm crossing 140W twice hasn't happened since 1970. This storm could really make history if it does do that, and it'll also be the first storm I've ever seen that crossed 140W twice. Nora is now at 50 mph/1002 mbars and I don't know if it'll even BE a hurricane anymore at this point. Satellite presentation looks quite horrible and if she wants to become a hurricane, she better get her act together soon. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 21:57, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I didn't have any edit conflict problems, leeboy. I think only whoever starts editing second gets an edit conflict message. Anyway, Nora's winds somehow increased despite the wind field being very small and the horrible satellite presentation. I've now given up hope of a major hurricane and I'm simply hoping for it to cross 140 degrees W twice, a feat I think not yet achieved by a tropical cyclone. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 22:32, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Nora's now in the CPAC basin. I hadn't tracked any basin crossing storms this year, so when it said "last NHC advisory issued on NORA" I thought it had randomly become post-tropical. It's winds are increasing despite the tropical storm force winds being on only one side of the center, and it's now 60 mph. It's improving on satellite, and at this rate it will still be a weak hurricane. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 14:25, October 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * It does that when the center for responsibility of the TC is handed over from the NHC to CPHC. And it's now 65 mph, at this rate a hurricane could come by tonight. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 16:45, October 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Nora got to 70 mph a while ago, but didn't become a hurricane as the center of circulation then got displaced. It's 45 mph now with a pressure of 1002 mb. It's forecast to last another couple days as a TS before it dissipates. So much for that category 2 they were predicting. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 15:26, October 13, 2015 (UTC)

 * It's bursts of deep convection somehow managed to cause the system to disrupt itself. :/ It's down to 30 mph, and should dissipate soon. It was fun to have something in the EPAC/CPAC to keep it interesting while waiting for that other invest to develop (which is now 70/90). ~Raindrop57 (talk) 21:19, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

 * 30/60. This one's got a lot of convection but lacks a circulation of any sort. ~Raindrop57 (talk) 00:53, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * A tropical wave in the area is being mentioned by the TWD. Anyway, I see it becoming Olaf by early next week or so. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 02:08, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

 * Ana and Olaf in the same year again? If Erika is replaced with Elsa in the spring, this will be Frozen fans' favorite naming lists. Anyway, staying on topic, Olaf should form out of this and I can see us stopping at Rick again this year like 2009 as long as the activity stays constant through October. November isn't really common for development in the EPac. Owen 16:37, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

looks that the snowman is going to be a monster! --<font face="Arial"> the destructive  Hurricane Odile  •  of  •  2014  17:17, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * :O Whoa, that looks like a major hurricane! Hope that becomes true and we see a C4 from Olaf! (Then maybe it's remnant low will reach Alaska and give them snow to build a snowman) ~Raindrop57 (talk) 17:20, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * This could be a huge monster hurricane if Odile's links pan out. It'd also be a coincidence if future Olaf brought snow to Alaska, and they could build a snowman (lol). And even without Elsa, these lists could still be Frozen fans' favorite naming lists, because they are the only lists which contain the names of Frozen characters. Having Elsa replacing Erika would be the best thing the NHC would ever do, and I surely hope it happens for an even more Frozen-filled year in 2021. Ana and Elsa in the Atlantic, and Olaf in the Pacific, this naming list would be the absolute favorite among all fans of Frozen. Lastly that movie was released almost 2 years ago, so I can't believe it's still this popular; it must be as popular as Ice Age, Finding Nemo, and other stuff from my childhood. Getting back on topic, this invest is lookin' hella good, and is 20/60 on the latest TWO. I'd love it if it can become a huge monster hurricane eventually. :D <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 22:11, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why they decreased the precentage despite it looking good on satellite. I'm also not sure why they haven't increased the 5-day chance to a high risk yet, as it won't be encountering unfavorable conditions. Let the snowman storm exist! ~Raindrop57 (talk) 22:36, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * The percentage for 48 hours is down to 10%, but it looks like the 5 day outlook has increased (70%). Let's just give it some time to develop, we'll see it become the snowman storm eventually. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 16:43, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

 * The title of this thread made me interested for a bit until I saw that the storm is headed for the San Francisco area and NorCal, and won't do much to SoCal (the place where I live). I also think this is an extratropical system, because it's like impossible for tropical systems to impact our state! I don't buy it either, unless it is an extratropical storm. <font face="Trebuchet MS"> Steve820  ( Wanna Chat?  •  Stalk My Contribs  •  ✉  ) 22:01, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I believee there have been two storms that impacted California. Can´t look now maybe later for info, and I believe one was a hurricane.Allanjeffs 21:57, October 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * There was a hurricane that impacted SoCal in 1858 (I believe), and in 1933, there was the Long Beach tropical storm. Those were the storms you were most likely referring to. Anyway, this has got to be an extratropical storm. It is like impossible for hurricanes to strike San Francisco.

Retirements at a glance
We don't yet have anything that stands much of a chance of retirement, but six storms (with a seventh on the horizon) is enough for me, so without further ado...


 * EPAC
 * Andres: 0% - A fish is a fish is a fish, but I'll be damned if this wasn't a fantastic early-season surprise.
 * Blanca: 1% - Intriguing to track, plus it was incredible to end the first week of June with two Category 4 hurricanes under the EPAC's belt, but any impacts were meager.
 * Carlos: 4% - A tad worse than Blanca, but still not severe enough for retirement.
 * Dolores: 0% - It became respectably strong, but if there were any impacts, they were negligible.
 * Enrique: Fail% - Él es el perdedor.
 * Felicia: % - Gets an F-.
 * Guillermo: 4% - Hawaii has requested retirement of storms that have threatened them without ultimately doing any harm (see Kenneth '05, Daniel '06), but if last year's Iselle wasn't retired, Guillermo doesn't stand a chance.
 * Hilda: 3% - See Guillermo, though it was nice to see the EPAC's first-ever Hurricane Hilda, especially by such a wide margin.
 * Ignacio: 0% - Long-lived and powerful hurricane, but remained away from land. Any peripheral effects in Hawaii were likely negligible at best.
 * Jimena: 0% - Ignacio Plus.
 * Kevin: 0% - Not the epic fail it could have been, but becoming stronger than expected doesn't cut it for retirement.
 * Linda: 23% - Remnants caused the worst flooding disaster in Utah's history, but if 1983's Octave and last year's Norbert didn't get retired, then Linda probably won't either.
 * Marty: Still active, but I'm not liking the looks on this thing.


 * CPAC
 * Ela: -6% - 'Ell no. (I'm sorry)
 * Halola: 5% - Gets props for becoming only the second CPAC-borne storm ever to make it to Japan, but effects there were rather light.
 * Iune: -4% - It failed miserably.
 * Kilo: 0% - Persistent and triumphant, but those qualities don't merit retirement.
 * Loke: 1% - Caused blustery weather at the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, but the area came out unscathed.
 * Malia: 0% - Fail, but it did extend this year's CPAC record to 6 named storms.
 * Niala: HolyCrap% - Still active, but dear God, at this rate we'll have more than double the previous record for CPAC named storms set in 1982.

EPac:


 * Andres:  0%  - Fishspinner. It won't be retired, even though it was such an awesome early season surprise.


 * Blanca: <font color="#77B">2.5%  - Baja got away with this girl. If anything, rainstorms in Baja and SoCal won't earn it much of a retirement chance, although it did cause some slight impact here and there.


 * Carlos: <font color="#359">5%  - Slow-moving coast of Mexico storm. I doubt it would be retired, but it did cause some impact in the country.


 * Dolores:  0%  - It did a nice job at the major part, but impacts, if any, were meager. Baja and SoCal shouldn't get much either.
 * Enrique:  0%  - See you in 2021!
 * Felicia:  0%  - Actually, it deserves lower than an F-. It gets a Z. Yeah, that's right, a Z! What an extreme epic fail that deserves a place in the Hurricane Hall of Epically Failing!
 * Guillermo:  0%  - Other than Hawaiian surf, this didn't cause much impacts other than spinning fish out in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
 * Hilda:  0%  - Hawaii never got much from her.
 * Ignacio:  0%  - Completely spared Hawaii from impacts.
 * Jimena:  0%  - Well...she was impressive to track, and lasted a long time, but she'll likely return in 2021.
 * Kevin:  0%  - As far as I know, it didn't affect land at all.
 * Linda: <font color="#AAC">1%  - Out here in SoCal, she did channel in some moisture and it also produced minor impacts along the Baja coast. But sorry Linda, you'll most likely stay.
 * Marty: <font color="#AAC">1%  - Impacts to Mexico weren't that much, so he'll stay for next time.
 * Nora:  0%  - Land was never affected by her.

CPac:


 * Ela:  0%  - Fishspinner, weakling...blah. What an epic fail, even though it formed in a rare basin.


 * Halola:  0%  - Also failed to affect land.


 * Iune:  0%  - Never in a million years.
 * Kilo:  0%  - Got very powerful and it was also a long-lasting beast, being alive for as long as 3 weeks, but lack of impacts = see you next time!
 * Loke:  0%  - Lack of impacts mean it's staying.
 * Malia:  0%  - Again, failed to do bad things to land. And it is another living proof that Mother Nature is making the CPac record-energized this year.
 * Niala:  0%  - The crazy basin produced yet another one, and again, it did not impact any human beings.
 * Oho:  0%  - Another storm in the crazy record-breaking basin which failed to affect land. It did become a moderate hurricane, though.

‡Enrique:  0%  - Sadly I would've expected a major from a storm named after my middle name. 3rd place of #NameWaste2015. Not tied 2nd because of the ‡.

Depression Felicia:  Fail%  - Nominee and winner of #NameWaste2015.

Gullimero -  Fail%  - these storms keep getting more fail-prone every time. Can't wait to see how much of a FAIL Hilda will be (despite that being my sister's name)

†Hilda -  0%  - Actually, forget that, Hilda you surprised me.

Eight-E - No. Just no. Why is this here? IT'S NOT NAMED!!!

†Ignacio - <font color="#AAC">1%  - Remnants could affect Northern Canada. I'll stay here.

†Jimena - ??? - Currently active.

Kevin -  Fail%  - 2nd place for #NameWaste2015. There better be no more fails after this.

Linda - ??? - Currently active. Forecast to be a very short and unamusing storm like Kevin and Felicia.

CPac Names

Ela -  Fail%  - No comment

‡Halola - See my WPac retirements.

Iune -  Fail%  - Wait, what?

†Kilo -  0%  - WHAA? A C4?! IN THE CPAC?! Wow. Still active but is a fish.

Loke -  Fail%  - Another fail, but it broke a record for most CPac names used.

†Impressive to see

‡Gained peak intensity more than once

¤Retirement possible, but not garunteed

<font face="Arial"> the destructive Hurricane  Odile  •  of  •  2014  18:18, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

Now it is time for my predictions:


 * 1) Andres - 1% - Andres was a true early surprise, and kudos to it for becoming the westernmost May major. While its remnant moisture did bring unseasonable rainfall to Phoenix and cause some power outages in Colorado, these have not been described as extreme. Therefore, I believe Andres will stay.
 * 2) Blanca - 2% - I am impressed that Blanca was able to become the earliest 2nd EPAC hurricane in general and reach the intensity it did. Its remnants brought some wave action to Puerto Vallarta and caused quite a few power outages. However, most of these were fixed within a day. Also, while SoCal did see some flooding from ex-Blanca, most of the rainfall was beneficial for the infamous drought there. Consequently, Blanca should stay as well.
 * 3) Carlos - 6% - Carlos was a little worse than either Andres or Blanca. It downed some trees and billboards around Acapulco. In addition, it sank the Bellísima luxury yacht and killed someone from falling metal. Nevertheless, most of the flooding was not widespread, and there do not seem to be extreme destruction reports from Carlos. As a result, the $1.1 million (2015 USD) price tag should not be enough for retirement.
 * 4) Ela - 0% - It was cool to see the CPAC come alive in the middle of July. But Ela did zilch to land, so you know the drill.
 * 5) Halola - TBA - Still Active
 * 6) Iune - 0% - Aside from being the earliest 3rd named CPAC storm, what did Iune do?
 * 7) Dolores - 1% - Like Andres, it was amazing to see Dolores unexpectedly become a Category 4 so quickly. Most of its impacts so far have been from its associated moisture and not the storm itself. Sure, SoCal saw some incredible rainfall (namely LA and San Diego!) from this that was "historic", but most of the precipitation will be beneficial for the area. As a matter of fact, a persistent wildfire in Cajon Pass was exhausted because of ex-Dolores's moisture. So, Dolores, you are staying put, too.
 * 8) Enrique - 0% - Enrique did surprise me with his persistence against his environment, and even became a tropical storm for a second time. But while Iglesias may have stolen Frank (1992)'s 8th storm ribbon, he did not harm land in the process.

Ryan Grand is back:

EPac: CPac: There you go. Ryan1000 20:39, July 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Andres - 0% - Became pretty strong for such an early-season storm, but it caused no direct damage on land, so it won't be retired.
 * Blanca - 3% - Earliest 2nd (major) hurricane of any EPac season on record, and also the earliest Baja California landfall as well, but overall damage wasn't too severe; if anything the rainfall from it's remnants helped ease up California's drought a little.
 * Carlos - 5% - Slightly worse than Blanca, and Mexico was fortunate Carlos didn't get past category 1 strength as it neared the coastline, but this was no Manuel. It was modest at most, and will be coming back again in 2021.
 * Dolores - 0% - Slightly weaker than Andres, and als a bit farther east, but overall impacts from surf were minor at most.
 * Enrique - 0% - Fail, but at least he didn't fail as bad as Failicia.
 * Failicia - Pun% - << See the name.
 * Guillermo - 0% - Steered well clear of Hawaii, with no known damage or deaths.
 * Hilda - 0% - Did nothing notable to Hawaii, but it was still nice to see it become the first hurricane hilda ever.
 * Ignacio - 0% - Missed Hawaii well to the north, and won't be retired.
 * Jimena - 0% - Didn't affect land.
 * Kevin - 0% - Didn't expect it to fight that much, but it won't be retired anyways.
 * Linda - 5% - It's a real shame that this storm couldn't go without impact before dying...but 1 death and a little damage from surf won't cut the bill. And the extratropical flooding in Utah doesn't count for retirement either. It's also the first major hurricane this year that didn't become a cat 4.
 * Marty - 1% - Brought some coastal flooding to parts of Mexico, but it was nothing that they haven't seen before.
 * Ela - 0% - Nice early start for the CPac, but nothing to speak of regarding impacts.
 * Halola - 1% - Caused 1.2 million in crop damage to southern Japan, with no deaths. Not nothing, but not enough either.
 * Iune - 0% - See Ela.
 * Kilo - 0% - It was one of the top 10 longest-lived tropical cyclones ever observed, but it didn't cause noticeable impacts on land.
 * Loke - 0% - Didn't harm land, but damn, 5 CPac named storms in one season. That's a new record.
 * Malia - 0% - Aside from extending our (already record-setting) CPac named storm count from 5 to 6, there's nothing else to say here.
 * Niala - 0% - Spared Hawaii, fortunately, but got us to 7 CPac storms in this season.
 * Oho - 0% - Did not hit Hawaii, but Eight. Central. Pacific. Named. Storms. In. One. Season. Is. Just. Unbelievable.

I could have sworn I already made one of these. Oh, well. Here's mine.

EPac: CPac: leeboy100 Katrina 2005-2015 22:55, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * Andres- 0%: Fun to track and didn't hit land. Nice storm, but it won't be retired
 * Blanca- 1%: Major hurricane that did cause damage, but not enough to be retired.
 * Carlos- 5%: One death and $1.1 million, again, it's not going anywhere.
 * Dolores- 0%: Again, an impressive storm, and minimal damage
 * Enrique- 0% Nope.
 * Felicia- 0% Bye Felicia, see you in 2021. What a fail.
 * Guillermo- 0% majorly hyped, but wound up doing nothing much
 * Hilda- 0% See Delores, except it caused no damage.
 * Ignacio: 0% Didn't affect land, but affected my appetite for nachos (sorry, I've made too many nacho jokes haven't I?)
 * Jimena: 0% Fun to track and lasted a long time, but it's not going anywhere
 * Kevin: 0% I, unlike others on this wiki, do not consider Kevin a fail, because it was heavily sheared. It tried hard and fought with the shear but didn't make it, so it's not going anwhere.
 * Linda: 1% It managed to cause one death. Gosh, my last few predictions from Dolores to Kevin make me feel like Jan from that Toyota commercial. "Zero percent! Zero percent!" at retirement :P
 * Marty: 0% It was a hurricane, but didn't affect land.
 * Nora: Currently active.
 * Ela- 0%: Well, it existed
 * Halola- 1%: Did nothing in the CPac but crossed into the WPac and hit Japan, causing $1.2 million. Still Japan has been hit by many storms way worse than this, I doubt they'll even remember it.
 * Iune:-0%: Meh, at least it didn't do damage
 * Kilo: 0% Well, well. Kilo is finally dead and is one of the longest-lived storms on record. But, hey if John in 1994 wasn't retired, then Kilo won't be either. See you in whenever, I guess.......................
 * Loke- 0% It didn't hit land, but it broke the record for most named storms in the CPac.
 * Malia: 0%. Other than extending our record, it didn't do much.
 * Niala: 0% See Malia, but it was a bit more impressive
 * Oho: 0.1% Silly, Oho. You aren't supposed to get to British Coulbia or Alaska, remnants or not. Unless you're a typhoon. Ahem.
 * Delores? Dolores* <font face="Ubuntu">Puffle  <font face="Ubuntu">2005 - 2015  <font face="Ubuntu">🌀KATRINA🌀  15:53, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoops, my bad. I fixed it. Although, coincidentally the name Dolores was mispelled the exact same way on the naming list in 1991! So apparently I'm not alone.   leeboy100 My Talk! 23:29, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

Raindrop's retirements (Based 100% on rainfall amounts - just kidding) - With interestingness ratings!
Eastern Pacific: Central Pacific:
 * Andres - 0% - Quite an amazing A storm. Almost as good as Amanda last year. Great start to the season! But it never hit anything, so it's staying. Interestingness (Ins.) A
 * Blanca - 0.2% - It became a category 4 twice, which was impressive. It made landfall, but minimal damages means no retirement. Ins. A+
 * Carlos - 2% - Carlos affected a lot of the coast of Mexico. However, damage was only $1.1 million, it should be staying. Ins. B-
 * Dolores - 0% - Another category 4 that hit nothing. It didn't last very long. Ins. A-
 * Enrique - 0% - The first EPAC storm this year that was not a hurricane. It lasted a good amount of time and became a tropical storm twice, and no damage. Ins. C
 * Failicia - -1% - Epic failure of a storm. It almost didn't form, then decided to steal a name. And it didn't hit anything. Ins. F
 * Gulliermo - 0% - A category 2 hurricane that could have done damage to Hawaii but weakened before reaching it. Ins. B
 * Hilda - 0% - Became a category 4, defying forecasts, which was amazing. And it didn't hit anything. Ins. A
 * Ignacio - 0% - It didn't hit anything, but it's rapid intensification and re-intensifying into a hurricane at high latitudes was amazing. Ins. A+
 * Jimena - 0% - A beautiful hurricane that became powerful and lasted a long time, and hit nothing. Ins. A+
 * Kevin - 0% - It did it's best against the wind shear it was in, but it was too much for it to become a hurricane. No land effects. Ins. C
 * Linda - 0.1% - A hurricane that existed, became a major, and dissipated in under a week. Did effect land a bit, but $30,000 in damages is nothing. Ins. B+
 * Marty - 0% - A storm that breifly became a hurricane and managed to move near Mexico without doing significant damage. Ins. B-
 * Nora - Currently active. Almost was a hurricane...
 * Ela - 0% - The first storm in the Central Pacific. That's about it. Ins. D-
 * Halola - 1% - Managed to make it all the way to Japan, becoming a typhoon 2 times on the way - and did almost nothing. An amazing storm though. Ins. A
 * Iune - -1% - It was a tropical storm that is not memorable. Ins. F
 * Kilo - 0% - A category 4 in the Central Pacific, an unusual thing. Then after becoming a category 4 it became a typhoon and lasted over 3 weeks total. It never hit anything until it was long extratropical, and there were no notable impacts from that. Ins. A+
 * Loke - 0% - A hurricane in the Central Pacific, more interesting then a weak tropical storm in the central pacific. Also had an erratic northward track. It also hit nothing. It ALSO set the record for storms forming in the CPAC. Ins. B-
 * Malia - 0% - At least it became a tropical storm. Ins. D-
 * Niala - 0% - This was fun to track, and defied forecasts some. They also mentioned that it had been stronger then thought in the discussion, so it might be upgraded to 70 or 75 mph post-season. No land effects. Ins. B-
 * Oho - 0% - Well, it almost managed to enter the EPAC basin. Ins. A-

Post-season changes
Andres's TCR was released a while ago, and Felicia's was completed last week. Andres's winds were reduced slightly from 130 kts to 125 (no advisory had Andres at 130 kts, but it was mentioned in one of the discussions that Andres was believed to have peaked at that intensity in between advisories), but its pressure was nudged downward from 938 mbar to 937. Nothing new came with Felicia's TCR. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 15:00, September 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * I wish Jimena was a little stronger operationally, but it's very unlikely post-season reanalysis will upgrade it to a 5 like it could've been, but it could be upped slightly to 155 mph in either one of its peaks. I don't think there's any other storm this year that I have hopes for being upgraded in reanalysis (as of yet). Ryan1000 19:07, September 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * 8-E, Enrique's TCR are out. <font face="Arial"> the destructive  Hurricane Odile  •  of  •  2014  20:21, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

 * Guillermo is out. Peak intensity raised to 95 kts/967 mbar, meaning it came just shy of major hurricane status. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 23:07, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
