Forum:2017 Pacific hurricane season

Future Start
I know it's kind of late to make this, but most models indicate that there's a 50%+ chance El Nino will reappear by the end of this year. It's possible, in fact likely, that the streak of above-normal seasons will continue for the fourth year in a row. I'm not expecting something like 2015 again, but I'm hoping this year will be more active than last year, because those random dead stretches (especially in May, June and October) were rather annoying. This year has lots of potential, and I fervently hope it doesn't go to waste. ~ KN2731 {talk} 11:13, May 5, 2017 (UTC)

September
Same as last month,  It's already September according to UTC. Here comes the peak of the season! Hi!-68.106.0.77 04:30, September 1, 2017 (UTC)


 * While the Atlantic has three simultaneous hurricanes, this basin is dead. Ugh. ~ KN2731 {talk} 09:34, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yep, this really feels like a La Nina occurring now. I can't wait to see "Max" form, as that is the name of one of my dogs! ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  20:37, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Nobody watches this basin right now, as everyone focuses on the Atlantic, especially Irma. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes! -68.106.0.77 05:29, September 8, 2017 (UTC)


 * We haven't seen a single CPac-named storm this season. ~ KN2731 {talk} 15:11, September 9, 2017 (UTC)

AOI: South of Baja
Finally something appears on the 5-day outlook; it's at 0/20. GFS and ECMWF both make this a hurricane at 160+ hours. ~ KN2731 {talk} 15:15, September 9, 2017 (UTC)


 * Up to 0/40. Hoping it's a powerful fishspinner, because the name "Max" seems ominous. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  19:51, September 9, 2017 (UTC)


 * Up to 0/50. ~ KN2731 {talk} 04:56, September 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * This will probably have to settle for Norma, but hopefully not Otis. Because if it does become Otis, that would mean the pathetic 15-E hijacked a name. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  01:06, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * 10/60. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 04:35, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * 30/70. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes! -68.106.0.77 14:35, September 12, 2017 (UTC)

97E.INVEST
Now at 70/90. Yet as Max develops and 15-E is to become Norma, this will instead settle in for Otis. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 22:35, September 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * 80/90, it should become 17-E shortly after. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 03:16, September 14, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Norma
Hi guys. I am new to the Hurricanes Wiki. Here is my first post to this wiki.

The latest BT had 97E becoming Norma recently. 68.106, you might be surprised about that. I really doubted 15-E going to be Norma first and i am rooted on that to become Otis. I've tracked both on Storm2k and you might know it i am rooting for this to become Norma. :)-- 13:29, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Not yet confirmed by the NHC yet, but it just jumped literally to a TS. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes! -68.106.0.77 14:29, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Now up on NHC. It was already producing TS-force winds, so it would've immediately jumped to become Norma once it got a closed LLC. Expected to become a hurricane before moving ashore in western Baja. Ryan1000 16:01, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * This developed quite fast. The NHC forecasts Norma to get up to 90 mph but it could easily get stronger than that. Baja has to watch out, as this may be worse than Lidia. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  23:00, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Holy shoot, it has a chance to impact my area in Southern Arizona. Well, it's too early to tell now. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 23:39, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Up to 45 mph (40 knots)/1003 mbars. Watch out, Baja... ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  05:35, September 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Norma is just east of Socorro Island. An eye I think is visible. Norma almost a hurricane, 60 kn/990 mb. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 02:45, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Hurricane Norma
Now a hurricane. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 03:07, September 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * Now, as it approaches Baja, it will weaken to a TD before making landfall. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 14:06, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Norma doesn't seem as bad as I originally thought. Baja could actually get off rather easy if it moves generally to the west like the forecast track says. The landfall will probably be as a remnant low. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  20:22, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Norma (2nd time)
Back to a TS. And Baja could actually be spared, even though tropical storm watches and warnings are still up. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  22:42, September 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * Norma is now moving away from Baja. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 16:22, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * It actually reintensified to 50 mph, but its center is sparing southern Baja. They are still getting some impacts from Norma's outer bands though. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  22:33, September 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * Lidia 2. Well done, Norma Jeane Mortensen. We are now looking forward to more exciting storms (but not dangerous like you were). Yawn. blow a kiss fier a gun all wee need is somebodey to leen on 150px-PrussiaChibi.png 23:50, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Like Otis below, Norma is now down to 40 mph, 1005 mbars. Forecast to dissipate in a day or two. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 02:53, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Norma (2nd time)
Can't believe this hasn't been updated, Norma has been a depression for a few hours now. I guess Maria's getting all the attention. That, and/or everyone else on here is asleep..... Leeboy100 Beware Maria's Fury. 10:27, September 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * Nobody cares about Norma because Maria is the scary and main attention-getter currently. This storm is forecast to die out by tomorrow. Thankfully Baja was (mostly) spared. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  18:14, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

Post-Tropical Cyclone Norma
And now she turned post-tropical. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 03:56, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

AOI: South of Mexico
0/20, conditions expected to be marginally conducive. ~ KN2731 {talk} 04:56, September 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * Now 10/50. I guess it will be a race for the name "Max". ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  17:19, September 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * 20/70. I think this will be Max. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  04:48, September 11, 2017 (UTC)

Now 50/70. This needs to be Max. I hope the name of one of my dogs gets very powerful, and doesn't go to that excuse of a TC (I'm looking at you 15-E). ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  01:03, September 12, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Sixteen-E
And it formed. Expected to remain a TD until it hits Mexico though. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 15:53, September 13, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Max
Now Max, at 40mph/1005mb. Landfall tomorrow so unlikely to strengthen much further. Kiewii 22:10, September 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank god the name Max wasn't stolen for 15-E. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 22:25, September 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * It will make landfall in Mexico. It seems to me that this is Re-Beatriz and Calvin. Tropical Storm Warning and Hurricane Watch are issued for Zihuatanejo to Punta Maldonado, Mexico. Intensity is 60 mph/1001 mbar. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 03:12, September 14, 2017 (UTC)

65 mph. Forecast to reach 70 mph before landfall. Hope this won't be too bad. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 07:43, September 14, 2017 (UTC)

Hurricane Max
Special advisory issued in lieu of the intermediate that was scheduled for this time. 65 kts/992 mbar, seems to be heading a bit more southward than expected. NHC forecast peak raised to 75 kts to account for the prospect of Max having more time over water before landfall. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 11:58, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * WHA? Did NOT expect that to happen...well, at least it's a tiny hurricane, so impacts will be localized from this, rather than MAXimized. Ryan1000 13:19, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * And it's a hurricane. Didn't expect to happen though. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 14:25, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Whoa, it became a hurricane?! At least my dog's name wasn't used for a weak TS. :D However, it appears to have made landfall in Mexico. I hope damages or deaths are not max-imized. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  22:58, September 14, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Max (2nd time)
Weakened to a TS while at landfall. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes! -68.106.0.77 02:15, September 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Again, I'm in relief that 15-E didn't steal the name "Max". This is a much better storm than 15-E, and Norma is as well. But it does kinda suck that the name of one of my dogs has to go to land and do destructive things... ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  05:38, September 15, 2017 (UTC)

Post-Tropical Cyclone Max
Gone. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 14:37, September 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, it caused 2 deaths. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 04:02, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

AOI: Remnants of Katia
20/20. Doubt this will redevelop though. ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  17:19, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Fifteen-E
Are you sure about that, Steve? ;) 25 kts/1006 mbar, could become a weak Tropical Storm Max in about a day or so before weakening. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 21:02, September 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * Ok, this caught me by surprise. 15-E, whatever you do, don't intensify beyond 30 knots/35 mph. If it does, we will have the most massive excuse of a named TC ever (possibly worse than even Jova, Failicia, Karina '08, or Pilar '87). ~  Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  01:00, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Don't worry Steve, shear is taking over 15-E and it's not expected to be a TS. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 04:33, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * That would be a relief. But with the way it defied unfavorable upper-level winds to become a TD, it could still continue to fight the shear and briefly steal a name. The NHC takes it up to 35 mph, but I would say it getting a tiny bit stronger than that is possible. I hope it remains below TS strength though. So far it looks likely it won't steal the "ominous" name, Max. ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  05:53, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see Max as a particularly ominous name tbh, but then again Bob doesn't sound terribly threatening either and we all know about what a storm with that name did to New England in 1991. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 11:30, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Never mind, it will steal the name Max. God forbid. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 02:16, September 13, 2017 (UTC)

Lol. This is actually forecast to strengthen to 50 mph in 3 days. Doubt this will be anything significant though. The race for Max is on. 111.125.87.148 10:24, September 13, 2017 (UTC) (aka Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 14:20, September 13, 2017 (UTC).)


 * As 16-E becomes Max, this will have to settle in for Norma (or even Otis if 97E develops and becomes Norma). 15-E not yet at TS strength. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 22:31, September 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Never mind, this will have to settle in with Otis since Norma came out of nowhere. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes! -68.106.0.77 14:27, September 14, 2017 (UTC)

This is such a boring storm. It just stays as a TD for days while spinning fish. But, it is forecast to eventually strengthen to at least a moderate TS as it continues being out in the middle of nowhere spinning fish. Looks like the TD order this season could be Lidia, Otis, Max, and Norma. :P ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  23:04, September 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Both TDs 15-E and 14L are moving westward with no change of strength. They are forecasted to steal the names Otis and Lee or Maria. Sigh. That's how it goes. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 05:28, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * With the most recent advisory, this is no longer forecast to become a TS. lol --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 11:07, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * This is like the longest-lasting TD I've ever tracked lol. I actually hope at this point that it doesn't steal the name "Otis", since it will continue to be weak due to dry air (as mentioned in the discussion). And the naming order I mentioned above would be a bit weird to see on the Wiki EPac season page, and could be a bit confusing. ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  20:26, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Otis
It happened guys. 35 kts/1004 mbar. In my book this system is a win just for actually earning itself a name after five days as a depression. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 20:44, September 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * I can't believe this happened already. I agree that it is a bit of a win for persisting as a TD for so long. But it is very weak so it won't get a very high grade in my retirements. ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  20:51, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sigh, finally. It will be weak just like Lee in the other side. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 05:07, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * 60 mph/999 mb. Not bad but still not a hurricane. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 16:20, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Hurricane Otis
Umm... surprise!!!! RI'd to Category 2, now at 90 kts/973 mbar and projected to peak as a 110-kt Category 3. All I can say is... erm... wow. A couple days ago, it looked like 15-E would more likely sputter and die without ever becoming named. Now it's more likely to become the EPAC season's fourth major!! Go, Otis, go!!! --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 20:57, September 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * This is kind of funny. I thought this was going to be a flop. --Whiplash (talk) 21:03, September 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * Just watch this thing RI to a C5. lol T  G  2 0 1 7 22:09, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * DID NOT expect this!!! Otis is mad from everybody talking smack about it when it was a struggling TD and when it was just named. This is probably the biggest surprise this year. Nobody expected Otis to do this. I think everybody expected Otis to flop. This could be getting my highest possible grade in my retirements. Who put caffeine and energy drinks in that part of the Pacific?! Just watch it surpass Patricia's strength, lmao. ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  22:35, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks like Otis has come out of the depths of what seemed to be a failure to become a surprisingly strong hurricane, the NHC apparently still has much yet to learn with the intensity forecasts of Pacific hurricanes. Ryan1000 22:46, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Um...wow. I didn't expect to be a hurricane. It's RIing into a major. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 23:12, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * WHAT? I didn't expect this at all! Went from a bumbling depression, with no chance to be a TS and here we are now, a C2. Come on, Mr Redding! You can beat that blonde-haired, blue-eyed pretty boy, I'm sure you will exceed 130mph. GO ON OTIS!! Because you're so popular now, even Jay Z and Kanye made a song about you.  blow a kiss fier a gun all wee need is somebodey to leen on 150px-PrussiaChibi.png 23:48, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Ummmm, okay? I did not expect that at all. Leeboy100 Hoping for recovery. 01:02, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Dark skinned, brown-eyed soul singer (Otis) vs blonde-haired, blue-eyed pretty boy (Ken), who wins?  blow a kiss fier a gun all wee need is somebodey to leen on 150px-PrussiaChibi.png 01:19, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Major Hurricane Otis
115 mph. It's a major. From a storm forecast to die without becoming named to a Category 3, this was unexpected. User:Stacy54 10:02, September 17, 2017.


 * This surprisingly hurricane is now a major. I won't be surprised if this were to intensify into a Category 4/5. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes!-68.106.0.77 04:04, September 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * It's over marginal SSTs and conditions are not the most conducive... it has only until about tomorrow night to strengthen more, although realistically I think it is near its peak intensity. The RI trend appears to have slowed to a halt. Otis' eye is not as distinct as earlier (according to the discussion). It was cool that Otis got this strong contrary to predictions of it being a flop. It could still strengthen slightly more, but the chances of it becoming a C4 are low, and C5 almost certainly won't occur. ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  05:23, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Watch Otis become a Category 5, anyway. He got this far, so why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (End of sarcasm) Leeboy100 Hoping for recovery. 05:46, September 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * This is the biggest surprise of the season. From a flop to one of the hurricanes on top. Wow, Otis. Just wow. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 07:10, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Hurricane Otis (2nd time)
It was rapidly intensifying, and now, it's rapidly weakening. Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes! -68.106.0.77 14:31, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Otis (2nd time)
Back to a TS. Guess it was fun while it lasted. At least Otis isn't a (complete) flop, unlike Lee in the Atlantic... EDIT: it wasn't a flop. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 14:47, September 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Easy come, easy go... though I hope that by adding the "(complete)" qualifier, you aren't implying that Otis is in any sense a flop. In my book, this is the biggest win to happen within the NHC's AOR so far this year, though not even close to the strongest storm in either the EPAC or ATL. I can think of only one other ATL or EPAC storm off the top of my head which was forecast at any point to dissipate as an unnamed depression, and then ultimately became a major hurricane; that storm was Joaquin, and while Joaquin was considerably stronger than Otis, the latter was still at 30 kts, forecast to remain below TS status, only 36 hours before it became a major hurricane. All this after five days as an unnamed depression. That is amazing. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 15:04, September 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * This is the most amazing storm of the season thus far, for being a fishspinner and RI-ing way beyond initial forecasts. This is likely getting my highest possible grade. Anyway, a bit surprised that this powered down so quickly. It was fun while it lasted though. ~ <font face="Impact"> Steve   Talk Page  My Edits  📧  16:31, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Well, it's a forecast defier, so yeah, I agree. This is an amazing storm. What a run, Otis. Latest advisory is just like Norma above: 40 mph, 1005 mbars, and expected to dissipate in a day or two. Anonymous 2.0 (talk) 02:53, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

The only other EPAC storm I can think of that defied forecasts more than Otis, was Genevieve from 2014 (3 years ago already, hard to believe.) This was a pleasant surprise indeed. Leeboy100 Beware Maria's Fury. 10:30, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

Shocked that nobody updated this. There are TCs in places outside of the Atlantic, you know. 😐 Anyway, this is going to pass really close to Jalisco and Nayarit and likely landfall in Jalisco.

Hopefully Pilar won't be too bad for Mexico...we have a tendency to pay the most attention to the Atlantic forum, but meh. Ryan1000 06:40, September 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * The low-level center appears to be reforming westwards, so landfall may not actually happen. Heavy rains and possible flooding and landslides will still occur though. ~ KN2731 {talk} 09:32, September 24, 2017 (UTC)

Retirements at a glance
I know it may be slightly early to start this section, as we have yet to witness a truly devastating storm in the EPAC. However, four named storms have already formed in the Eastern Pacific, and for me, that justifies starting this section.

Here are my predictions:

Eastern Pacific:


 * 1) Adrian - 0% - With all due respect, Adrian was the earliest named storm in the EPAC proper on record. However, for a storm that was forecast to become a Category 2, Adrian was a huge disappointment, and not hitting land does not help its case, either.
 * 2) Beatriz - 3% - Similar to 2011, Beatriz has the highest probability of leaving the list thus far. Although there have been reports of landslides and other impacts, most of them were localized in Oaxaca and failed to affect the well-being of Mexico as a whole. Moreover, the seven reported fatalities is not negligible, but Mexico has suffered far deadlier named tropical systems and not asked for retirements.
 * 3) Calvin - 1% - For such a weak storm, Calvin added on to Beatriz's damage in Oaxaca, and combined, they caused MEX$70 million (US$3.9 million) around Oaxaca. Nevertheless, it does not appear that Calvin itself resulted in any fatalities or any other major impacts, and I have yet to hear any outrageous impact reports from Mexico.
 * 4) Dora - 0.5% - Dora's rainbands did cause some flash flooding in Guerrero, Mexico that affected several homes. Once again, though, the lack of fatalities and any other significant reported effects prevents me from assigning a higher percentage.
 * 5) Eugene - 1% - Eugene defied the odds and became a major hurricane, albeit for a short timeframe. There was some heavy surf in Baja California and Southern California, and this caused hundreds of rescues. Fortunately, there were no fatalities reported, and damage should be minor at most.
 * 6) Fernanda - ~0% - Fernanda became a powerful major hurricane and the strongest of the year so far. Moreover, it managed to survive into the CPAC. However, the only impact from this hurricane whatsoever was some surf in Hawaii, and that was likely not memorable for them.
 * 7) Greg - 0% - Greg, despite not becoming hurricane, lasted much longer than I expected and even managed to survive into the CPAC. However, with no land effects, it will most likely be staying (unless some Diary of a Wimpy Kid fanatic requests that the WMO remove this name).
 * 8) Hilary - 1% - Impactwise, it does not appear that Hilary was significant for Mexico or anywhere else, albeit moving parallel to the former's coastline. Although I have added a grace percentage to account for the (unlikely) possibility that this name will be retired due to the connotation with Secretary Clinton, I would like to note that the names of other prominent politicians of the countries surrounding the EPAC (e.g. Enrique) have been on these naming lists since their inception back in the late 1970s/early 1980s and were not removed because they took power.
 * 9) Irwin - 0% - Irwin became decently strong in spite of its proximity to Hilary and lasted for a while as well. However, it will go down in history as just another harmless hurricane in the EPAC.
 * 10) Jova - ~0% - To be honest, if Jova had not formed from Franklin's remnants, I would not have even mentioned this system. Sure, it passed near Socorro Island, but absolutely no impact was reported whatsoever there or elsewhere.
 * 11) Kenneth - 0% - Well, what a stunt devil Kenneth was! Category 4 intensity was definitely beyond what the forecasts were calling for! Luckily, there is not much else to talk about regarding this hurricane. See you again in six years!

Central Pacific: (TBA)

Retirements from Steve
Retirements=
 * The "Retirements" tab is the main tab used to list all storms and their retirement chances, grades, and explanations.
 * The "In summary..." tab is exactly like how it sounds. Provides a summary of all storms and categorizes them based on how likely they are to be retired. Grades aren't included there.
 * Check the "Replacement Names for Potential Retirements" tab for my top 10 replacement suggestions for each likely retirement. All storms that are categorized as "Possibly Retired" and above on the "In summary..." tab are mentioned here.
 * Check the "Notes" tab for all the colors used on the main tab for retirement chances, grades, and storm intensities. Below the colors on this tab, there are explanations for why I did some things the way I did.
 * <font color="#0CF">Adrian : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#F00">F - Fun fact: This was once forecast to be a formidable hurricane. An epic disgraceful fail, but saved from getting the "Z" classifications because it was the earliest named EPac storm ever.
 * <font color="#0CF">Beatriz : <font color="#03F">7.5% , <font color="#A00">Z - Another weakling, but caused 7 deaths as well as minor damage. Don't expect more than a very small probability for the retirement of this name.
 * <font color="#0CF">Calvin : <font color="#55B">0.1% , <font color="#A00">Z - Same affected areas as Beatriz but was less damaging and no deaths occurred. Retirement's out of the question.
 * <font color="#ffffcc">Dora : <font color="#66A">0.00001% , <font color="#8F0">C+ - Very minimal damage from floods, otherwise it was just a fishspinner. Somewhat exceeded expectations in terms of intensity but never made C2.
 * <font color="#ffc140">Eugene : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#068">A- - Fishspinner that barely made major hurricane status, but tried its best.
 * <font color="#ff8f20">Fernanda : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#03B">A - An amazing hurricane that got pretty strong and lasted 10 days. The grade is prevented from being "A+" or higher due to the fact that it had potential for C5 strength, but failed to reach it due to the ERCs it did.
 * <font color="#00faf4">Greg : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#F00">F - Despite continued forecasts for hurricane intensity, it failed to become one throughout its over a week of existing. Didn't even get into the "strong TS" category but I guess the longevity is a bonus.
 * <font color="#ffe775">Hilary : <font color="#11E">2.5% , <font color="#0B3">B - Didn't become a major despite predictions to do so, although it was somewhat resilient in the end, thus improving the grade from what it otherwise would have been. The name conflicts with 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. But Hillary is not the current president. As a result, the chances that it will receive the "Israel, Adolph, Isis" treatment are very small, almost nil. "Don" in the Atlantic has a much higher chance (20%) to receive that treatment because of Donald Trump, who is the current president.
 * <font color="#ffffcc">Irwin : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#068">A- - Although weaker than Hilary, it was amazingly resilient.
 * <font color="#0CF">Jova : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#600">Z-(x∞)  - What a joke.
 * <font color="#ff8f20">Kenneth : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#00A">A++  - Fishspinner that exceeded every NHC prediction, so this gets a fantastic grade.
 * <font color="#ccffff">Lidia : <font color="#07F">10% , <font color="#F50">D - Flooding in Baja + 7 deaths give this a small chance. Also gave me some moisture and rain showers.
 * <font color="#ffffcc">Max : <font color="#00F">5% , <font color="#0F0">B- - No deaths (thankfully) but damage totals are unknown. Gets some grading credit for intensifying to a hurricane much to everybody's surprise.
 * <font color="#ffffcc">Norma : <font color="#66A">0.00001% , <font color="#FB0">C- - Thankfully, it spared Baja from most impacts. It still caused minimal damage, but retirement won't happen.
 * <font color="#ffc140">Otis : <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#006">A+++(x∞) - From initially forecast to be a complete flop to RI-ing to a C3, this is one of the most awesome storms I've ever seen! Also was a tropical depression for days upon days before it did this RI stunt.
 * <font color="#0CF">Pilar : <font color="#00F">5% , <font color="#A00">Z - Preliminary retirement chance. No deaths (so far) and unknown damages, although it could have been quite flooding for the area around Jalisco and Nayarit. This was also a weak fail that gets nothing better than "Z".

Any named storms that are currently active will be added here when the storm(s) dissipate. Storms that are still active after a succeeding storm has dissipated will be added as a placeholder.



In summary...= Certainly Retired: None

Likely Retired: None

Possibly Retired: None

Probably Not Retired: Beatriz, Lidia, Max, Pilar

Not Retired: Adrian, Calvin, Dora, Eugene, Fernanda, Greg, Hilary, Irwin, Jova, Kenneth, Norma, Otis

Projected retirement chances for currently active storms (could always change as time goes on):


 * No storms are currently active



Replacement Names for Potential Retirements= All storms in the categories (or projected to be in the categories) Possibly Retired, Likely Retired, and Certainly Retired are discussed here. These are my favorite 10 names for replacement.

There are no storms that have a high enough retirement chance to be added here, yet.



Notes= Retirement percentage colors: <font color="#888">0% (PAGASA only), <font color="#779">~0% , <font color="#66A">0.00001% , <font color="#55B">0.1% , <font color="#33D">1% , <font color="#11E">2.5% , <font color="#00F">5% , <font color="#03F">7.5% , <font color="#07F">10% , <font color="#0BF">15% , <font color="#0FF">20% , <font color="#0FC">25% , <font color="#0F8">30% , <font color="#0F4">35% , <font color="#0F0">40% , <font color="#4F0">45% , <font color="#8F0">50% , <font color="#CF0">55% , <font color="#FF0">60% , <font color="#FB0">65% , <font color="#F70">70% , <font color="#F30">75% , <font color="#F00">80% , <font color="#E01">85% , <font color="#D02">90% , <font color="#C03">95% , <font color="#B04">99% , <font color="#A05">99.9% , <font color="#906">99.99999% , <font color="#807">~100% , <font color="#707">100% (PAGASA only) 

Intensity colors: <font color="#0CF">Weak TS (40-45 mph), <font color="#00faf4">Moderate TS (50-60 mph) , <font color="#ccffff">Severe TS (65-70 mph) , <font color="#ffffcc">C1 (Minor Hurricane) , <font color="#ffe775">C2 (Moderate Hurricane) , <font color="#ffc140">C3 (Major Hurricane) , <font color="#ff8f20">C4 (Intense Hurricane) , <font color="#ff6060">160-180 mph C5 (Super Hurricane) , <font color="#900">≥185 mph C5 (Cataclysmic Super Hurricane) 

Grading colors: '''<font color="#006">A+++(x∞), <font color="#00A">A++ , <font color="#00F">A+ , <font color="#03B">A , <font color="#068">A- , <font color="#086">B+ , <font color="#0B3">B , <font color="#0F0">B- , <font color="#8F0">C+ , <font color="#FF0">C , <font color="#FB0">C- , <font color="#F80">D+ , <font color="#F50">D , <font color="#F20">D- , <font color="#F00">F , <font color="#A00">Z , <font color="#600">Z-(x∞) '''

Retirement chance ranges for:
 * "Certainly Retired": 90-100%
 * "Likely Retired": 60-85%
 * "Possibly Retired": 35-55%
 * "Probably Not Retired": 5-30%
 * "Not Retired": 0-2.5%


 * The 0% and 100% retirement chances (without the "~" symbol) are only used in the PAGASA (Philippines) basin, which is the only known basin with retirement requirements. These percentages mean that it is absolutely sure that a name will or won't be retired. A percentage that is in-between is never used in such a basin.
 * For other basins that don't have retirement requirements (the vast majority of basins), ~0% and ~100% are the lowest and highest possible retirement chances. "~" means asymptotically equal - which means it is so close to being equal that it is basically, well, "equal". ~0% means that the chance of retirement could be as low as winning the lottery and being struck by lightning within the span of one minute. Same rules go for ~100%, but this time it's the chance that it won't be retired that is insanely tiny.
 * The colors for "weak TS" and "Cataclysmic Super Hurricane" are made up and not part of the official color classification. The "severe TS" color is the same as the "Severe Tropical Storm" color used in basins such as the WPac. The labels "Severe TS" and "Super Hurricane" are at least partially borrowed from the WPac.
 * A+++(x∞) and Z-(x∞) is "A+ (times infinity)" and "Z- (times infinity)" respectively, referring to the + and - signs going on infinitely.
 * Since the grading goes down the alphabet, "Z" instead of "F-" would be best for pathetic fails.
 * Damage and deaths affect a storm's grade. The more destructive/deadly a TC is, the more the grade will drop from its original intended grade. It can drop down by as much as a whole 2 letters (ex. from A to C) if it is like Katrina, Sandy, etc.

 * <font color="#00faf4">Adrian : 0% - Does get credit for being the earliest EPac storm on record. Multiple forecasts predicted Adrian to become a hurricane, and it didn't even become a 50 mph tropical storm.
 * <font color="#00faf4">Beatriz : <font color="#669">1% - When it comes to retirement, Beatriz doesn't even come close to the snubs. I wouldn't even give this more than a 1% chance of retirement.
 * <font color="#00faf4">Calvin : <font color="#889">0.01% - Calvin almost fizzled out before landfall, but there was minimal damage. This will be coming back in 2023.
 * <font color="#ffffcc">Dora : <font color="#889">0.01% - Dora caused some minor damage. Dora didn't impress me, but that's just my opinion.
 * <font color="#ffc140">Eugene : 0% - Eugene defied forecasts, and became a major hurricane...barely. I feel like Eugene could've done better. Eugene stayed out in the open waters, so he will be back in 2023.
 * <font color="#ff8f20">Fernanda : <font color="#889">0.01% - The remnants of Fernanda struck Hawaii, and that doesn't count as much.
 * <font color="#00faf4">Greg : 0% - Failicia 2.0.
 * <font color="#ffe775">Hilary : 50% - Hilary was forecast to become a major multiple times, and it never did. However, with political issues, Hilary could be retired this coming spring. It is more likely to happen to Hilary because the EPac is the only one who gives the Adolph/Israel/Isis treatment. I think that this and Don could be retired.
 * <font color="#ffffcc">Irwin : 0% - Out in the ocean. I doubt this will go.

Raindrop's Retirements
Adrian: 0%, grade <font color="#F50">D - Extra credit for becoming the earliest tropical storm in the EPAC proper, minus three letter grades for being dissipated when it was forecast to be a 100 mph storm. Seriously, what was that?

Beatriz: <font color="#889">0.03%, grade <font color="#F00">F - A weak TS that made landfall in Mexico. It will be back in 2023 since Mexico has never retired a storm that has done such little damage. It doesn't get a Z as it still formed relatively early and caused impacts.

Calvin: Whatever the chance of winning the lottery is%, grade <font color="#A00">F- - It formed. It hit land. It died. It did not do much. It failed. It does not get a Z as it caused impacts.

Dora: 0%, grade <font color="#8F0">C+ - Just an average hurricane that formed, strengthened, peaked, weakened, and died. It did look pretty good at peak intensity. It gets a slightly better grade than an average "C" grade because it was the first hurricane of the season. It caused no impacts of significance.

Eugene: 0%, grade <font color="#068">A- - A fishspinner that did make major status, barely. Therefore it gets an A, barely. Besides the fact that it strengthened more than expected, Eugene followed a rather straightforward path from formation to dissipation, which does not help its grade. No impacts = no retirement.

Fernanda: 0%, grade <font color="#00F">A+ - Fernanda was an amazing and beautiful storm that did not hit land. Its sudden RI to category 4 status was quite cool, and although it did not reach category 5 status, it gets an A plus due to its rather long lifespan and slight resilience when it was weakening.

Greg: 0%, grade <font color="#F80">D+ - Greg ended up underperforming forecasts in the end, but did have some interesting aspects to its life. (Most notably when it went from looking like it was going to strengthen to having an exposed center :P) Greg did briefly hit 60 mph before that, and that along with its long life give it an ok grade.

Hilary: 10%, grade <font color="#0B3">B - Hilary fell short of expectations, just like in the election, by not becoming a major when it was forecasted to for a long time. It still became a decent hurricane, and its brief restrengthening when it was over cold waters brings up its grade quite a bit. It gets a significant but small shot at retirement due to the name's relation to the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Irwin: 0%, grade <font color="#068">A- - Irwin was originally slow to strengthen, getting named while still having an exposed center. During its pretty long life, Irwin would always find a way to do just a little more than forecasts predicted, by strengthening to 90 mph and then near the end of its life refusing to die. The only time Irwin was not resilient was during its sudden rapid weakening from 90 to 50 mph in under 24 hours. The fact that Irwin was resilient in the end makes up for that. I give Irwin an A- as it was a lot of fun to track and looked quite pretty at times.

Jova:  0%, grade <font color="#600">Z-  - An epic fail, didn't even stay at TS strength for 1 day. The only reason it doesn't get the lowest grade is because it was never supposed to be strong in the first place.

Retirement Predictions: A2.0

 * Adrian - 0.05% - that .05% is for Adrian being the earliest forming storm in the Eastern Pacific proper (excl. Central Pacific)
 * Beatriz - 4% - minimal impact, though there were a number of fatalities.
 * Calvin & Dora - 0% - see you both in 2023.
 * Eugene - 1.5% - for being the first major of the season. Will be back in 2023.
 * Fernanda - 2.5% - for being the first Category 4 hurricane of the season; also expected to be back in 2023.
 * Greg & Irwin - 2% - although weaker than Eugene and Fernanda, they were fun to track because of their relatively long lives. Both will be back in 2023 though.
 * Hilary - 3% - If we will only consider its actual impact(s), Hilary will be back in 2023. However, I am not sure if that will happen, given the political situation right now. While it may not get retired, but this may be removed (due to the name being very similary to Hillary Clinton, with the exception of its spelling of course). May become Adolph/Israel/Isis 4.0 (along with Don in the Atlantic).

More to follow.

Ryan1000's retirement predictions
Time to toss in my two cents: Ryan1000 22:45, August 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * Adrian - 0% - A rare pre-season storm, in fact the earliest ever in the East Pacific proper (up to 140W), but it didn't affect land, so, see ya in 2024.
 * Beatriz - 3% - Gets credit for its minor effects in Mexico, like in 2011, but it won't be retired.
 * Calvin - 1% - A little less severe than Beatriz.
 * Dora - 1% - It didn't make landfall, but its outer rainbands caused some damage to Mexico.
 * Eugene - 0% - It did cause some swells in southern California that prompted water rescues, but no one was killed and there was no damage, so Mr. Krabs will be back again in 2024.
 * Fernanda - 0% - A powerful and long-lived major hurricane, the second-southernmost on record in the EPac after Olaf in 2015, but she caused no impacts on land, so she'll be back again in 2024.
 * Greg - 0% - Lasted a while, but never became a hurricane, so meh.
 * Hilary - 0% - A failed intensity forecast, just like a failed presidential campaign last year. I personally doubt Hilary (and Don) will be removed from the naming lists just because they so happened to be the names of the two main U.S. presidential candidates in the 2016 election; if Hilary and/or Don are removed for that reason, I won't count them as retirements (due to impact) as neither storm was notable in that regard.
 * Irwin - 0% - Another fishie, but at least it became a hurricane.
 * Jova - 0% - Came out of Franklin in the Atlantic, but it was weak and didn't affect land itself, so no retirement.
 * Kenneth - 0% - Impressive intensity streak, continuing the category 4 incarnations of this name every time it was used in the EPac, but like the others, it didn't hit land, so it won't be retired.
 * Lidia - 3% - Wasn't much different from Beatriz. 7 deaths, some damage, but not enough.
 * Max - 10% - Minor damage in Mexico with two deaths, but it was overshadowed by the earthquake that struck them.
 * Norma - 0% - Became a hurricane but fortunately remained at sea.
 * Otis - 0% - Managed to intensify to a major hurricane after struggling for days as a depression, but still, a fish is a fish.
 * Pilar - ?? - Still active, but could cause flooding in Mexico.

Rah's predictions!
blow a kiss fier a gun all wee need is somebodey to leen on 16:47, September 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Adrian: 0%, forgettable.
 * Beatriz: 1%, caused a bit of havoc in Mexico but that was just another weather event.
 * Calvin: 0%, drop us some sick beats in 2023, Harris!
 * Dora: 0%, coming back to explore the East Pacific in 2023.
 * Eugene: 0%, the crab may have reached major hurricane status, but won't be retired.
 * Nanda: 0%, AMAZING FISH STORM, probably the highlight of the season so far, but PLEASE, DO THAT AGAIN IN 2023!
 * Greg: 0%, Cook us something tasty next time, Chef Wallace! That wasn't good enough.
 * Hilary: 10%, maybe for the Clinton memes on Twitter (alongside the Trump memes in the Atlantic) but maybe not, to be honest.
 * Irwin: 0%, the crocodile hunter will be coming back.
 * JoJo: 100% 0%, WE LOVE YOU JOJO! YOU WERE THE BEST STORM EVER, MATE! -sarcasm intensifies-
 * Kenny: 0%, Fun storm to track! Well done Kenny for always being a (friendly, fishie) category 4! Now, can you get to category 5 in 2023? Please stay nice!

Well, time to toss in my two cents and predict retirements.

Post-Season Changes
Made a table to make it easier to compare changes. So far Beatriz and Calvin's TCRs are out, with Calvin getting a small upgrade. ~ KN2731 {talk} 09:56, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
