::Hopefully the EPac will produce a better season than last year. 2019 had so many failures and weak, short-lived TS's that it was painful to witness.

After a conversation I had with Steve, I am introducing a new section to all basins in which seasonal forecasts are issued. I believe that seasonal forecasts are a crucial resource to gain a better appreciation of how active a tropical cyclone season may be. In addition, Hurricanes Wiki has never had a separate section for these predictors (until now), and it can be frustrating to create new sections every single time a new forecast is released. I hope the seasonal forecasts section can be used not just in 2020, but in the years to come.
 
 
In short, whenever an agency issues a new forecast, simply add it to the bottom row of the above table. Be sure to include the link to the forecast, as well as any major information (e.g. date of release, named storms predicted). '''If a forecast is written in a language besides English, please indicate this next to the agency name'''. Please let me know on my wall if you have any further questions.

:Now 0/30. Yeah, this will probably become Elida by next week. This slow season is only going to get the E name, while the Atlantic is WAY ahead with the J name up next over there. Very unusual for the Atlantic to be so ahead at this time of year, as the EPac is usually more active in July and the Atlantic quieter in that month. ~ '''<font face="Verdana">[[User:StevDev |<span style="color:#40B;">Steve</span>]]</font>''' [[Message Wall:StevDev #top|<span class="button">Message Me</span>]][[Special:Contributions/StevDev|<span class="button">My Edits</span>]][[Special:EmailUser/StevDev|<span class="button">📧</span>]] 06:22, August 5, 2020 (UTC)

: This will probably become Elida soon, and is expected to move southwest after moving WNW for some time. The peak intensity expected is uncertain, but this could become a hurricane down the road based on the initial model forecasts we have.

: Forecast to become a hurricane, and as I mentioned earlier, turn south later in the forecast period. If this keeps that up in the long run, then this may be a minor threat to Hawaii down the road like Darby 4 years ago, assuming Elida-to-be can hold on to TS status that late in the model runs. '''''[[User:Ryan1000|Ryan]][[User talk:Ryan1000|1000]]''''' 05:36, August 9, 2020 (UTC)
 
 
::Looks like Elida's about to arrive. Currently 35 mph/1007 mbar, with the forecast peak at 85 mph. However, I think this has real potential to turn into a C2, maybe even a major in the strongest scenario. I doubt it will still be a TC when it's near Hawaii though - NHC has it weaken drastically after crossing 120W, though if it encounters another round of favorable conditions in the very long run, maybe it's still slightly possible. ~ '''<font face="Verdana">[[User:StevDev |<span style="color:#40B;">Steve</span>]]</font>''' [[Message Wall:StevDev #top|<span class="button">Message Me</span>]][[Special:Contributions/StevDev|<span class="button">My Edits</span>]][[Special:EmailUser/StevDev|<span class="button">📧</span>]] 06:31, August 9, 2020 (UTC)

This happened. 75mph, 990mb. [[User:Beatissima|Beatissima]] ([[User talk:Beatissima|talk]]) 21:05, August 10, 2020 (UTC)
 
: Elida is no longer forecast to turn south late in her forecast, so this is no longer any sort of long-term threat to Hawaii. Moreover, Elida has had some dry air intrusion over her northern eyewall lately, which will probably keep this from becoming a major hurricane before unfavorable conditions kick in after 36 hours or so, though minimal cat 2 is still possible. '''''[[User:Ryan1000|Ryan]][[User talk:Ryan1000|1000]]''''' 04:38, August 11, 2020 (UTC)
 
::Now 85 mph/983 mbar per the latest advisory. Forecast peak is 90 mph. Hopefully it fights the dry air and becomes a C2.

==Retirements at a Glance==
 
===Ryan1000's Retirement Predictions===
 
*Amanda - 35% - Based on the damage totals from Amanda in El Salvador, she is currently the third-costliest tropical cyclone on record in the country's history, after Hurricanes Paul and Mitch, and given Central America's lower retirement standards than the U.S. or Mexico, having retired Alma, the name Amanda replaced, only 12 years ago, there's a chance we might not be seeing Amanda again in 2026, though it's not a certainty.
 
*Boris - 0% - Our yearly epic fail. Better luck in 2026.
 
*Cristina - 0% - She was soooo close to being a hurricane, but she fell short...reanalysis could upgrade her, but all things said, it was still a fishspinner.
 
*Douglas - 5% - Thankfully, Douglas narrowly missed the Hawaiian islands to the north, and so damage wasn't as bad as it could've been; also no deaths were reported either. Had Douglas passed only slightly further south, this could've been a lot worse for Hawaii.
 
*Elida - ?? - Still active, but likely to remain away from Mexico.
 
That's all for now. '''''[[User:Ryan1000|Ryan]][[User talk:Ryan1000|1000]]''''' 16:08, June 4, 2020 (UTC)

*'''<font color="blue">One-E</font>''' - '''<font color="#ffe775">A</font>''' - Earliest storm in Eastern Pacific. That alone gives it an A. If it was a TS it would certainly be a S. As it is, an incredible storm nonetheless (N/A%)
 
*'''<font color="cyan">Amanda</font>''' - '''<font color="Indigo">F </font>'''- Extremely weak storm. It later led to the formation of Cristobal, but on its way caused significant heavy rain impacts in Central America. Those impacts may get it retired, but its rather unlikely. (30%)
 
*'''<font color="cyan">Boris</font>''' - '''<font color="Indigo">F</font>''' - Also very weak. Did last some time, and was only the second storm to enter the Central Pacific in June. Still a pathetic storm though. (0%)
 
*'''<font color="blue">Four-E</font>''' - '''<font color="maroon">Z</font>''' - Lasted 3 advisories before dying. Absoulutly pointless storm. (N/A%)
 
*'''<font color="cyan">Cristina</font>''' - '''<font color="red">D</font>''' - Had the potential to get much stronger than it did, potentially to major hurricane strengh. It instead stayed a tropical storm. In reanalysis this could be upgraded to C1, and that would probably give it a C, but even then, this storm had so much wasted potential. (0%)

===Harveycane's retirement predictions and grades===
 
I'll organize it later. Right now I just want to get the important thoughts out.
 
 
* One-E - B - 0% - Cool pre-season storm, especially the fact that it is the earliest forming storm in the eastern pacific proper, hence the high grade for a tropical depression. If it were a tropical storm or even stronger, I would've upped the grade. I feel a bit generous but whatever.
 
* Amanda - F - 25% - Just a weak failure in general, in addition to impacts that were only worsened with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic - 33 deaths, around $200 million in damages. I can't rule out retirement, but she's setting herself at high stakes right here.
 
* Boris - F - 0% - At least he lasted a few days or so, but it was just another weak failure and a name stealer. All in all very forgetful.
 
* Four-E - Z - 0% - I forgot about this storm. Does anyone remember what it was? No but seriously, this thing didn't even last half a whole day.
 
* Cristina - E - 0% - We actually thought she would be a high end category 2 hurricane, but it couldn't even become a hurricane! I do think Christina was a category 1 for a very short time, and I will up the grade if it does get upped in post analysis, but right now it sits right here at the E grade.
 
* Six-E - F - 0% - Just like Four-E, short lived and forgetful.
 
* Douglas - A - 2% - Expected to become a C1 at most when I first saw its forecast, but instead, it unexpectedly intensified to a category 4 hurricane! Unfortunately for us, we did get threatened, but the good news is that it just barely hit us and headed north away from Hawaii. Well done, Douglas!
 
* Elida - ? - ? - Currently active. Expected to peak as a 100 mph .C2

==Replacement Names==
 
===Female "A" names (Potentially for Amanda)===
 
Considering the considerable damage wrought in El Salvador from Tropical Storm Amanda, there is a decent chance Amanda might be retired after this year, so what do you guys think will replace her, assuming she is retired? Here are some suggestions:
 
*Amy
 
*Anastasia
 
*Annabelle
 
*Ariana
 
*Amelia
 
*Alyssa
 
*Alexandria
 
*Alice
 
*Ava
 
*Alexa
 
*Alexis
 
*Alaina
 
*Ayla
 
*Amaya
 
*Abigail
 
*Athena
 
*Audrey
 
*Agnes
 
*Alicia
 
*Allison
 
My favorite name among these is Ariana, but Amy, Alexis, Alice, Alyssa, and others are good too. Names like Audrey, Agnes, Alicia, and Allison would be my last choices since they were already retired in the Atlantic, though we do have some formerly retired Atlantic names in the EPac, like Celia, Dora, and Hilda, so it's not impossible those names could be picked. '''''[[User:Ryan1000|Ryan]][[User talk:Ryan1000|1000]]''''' 16:08, June 4, 2020 (UTC)
 
:I would like to see Ava return to the EPac name list to be honest. [[User:Anonymous 2.0|Jas (Anonymous 2.0)]] ([[User talk:Anonymous 2.0|talk]]) 23:55, June 4, 2020 (UTC)
 
 
::''Ariana'' is also my preferred pick from the list above <small>(assuming Ariana Grande does not mind her name being on the list)</small>. I still think of the Category 5 hurricane from 1973 when I hear the name ''Ava''. Also, here are some more options to replace ''Amanda'':
 
 
::*Amber
 
::*Amada
 
::*Aiyana
 
::*Abby (used in the Atlantic and WPAC)
 
::*Abigail
 
::*Annette (was on the old EPAC naming list)
 
::*Aubrey
 
::*Adeline
 
::*Alessia
 
::*Angelique
 
::*Angelica

I already mentioned Abigail, but I forgot about Amber and Angelica, those would be nice picks as well. '''''[[User:Ryan1000|Ryan]][[User talk:Ryan1000|1000]]''''' 21:37, June 5, 2020 (UTC)
 
 
What about Annie ? That name fits the list theme. [[User:Bill2903|ʙɪʟʟ2903]] ([[User talk:Bill2903|talk]]) 22:30, June 5, 2020 (UTC)
 
: Annie might be close to Ana, but so is Annabelle, and given the WMO's track record of putting similar names on the Atlantic and EPac lists (i.e. Frank and Franklin, Marty and Martin, Danny and Daniel), it's a possibility. '''''[[User:Ryan1000|Ryan]][[User talk:Ryan1000|1000]]''''' 01:33, June 6, 2020 (UTC)
 
 
:: Ryan, I'm unsure if El Salvador will really retire Amanda. It was Costa Rica which retired Alma, and much of Amanda's damage occured in Guatemala (remember Agatha 2010?) and Mexico (which is infamous for its track record. Further, Paul of 1982, which killed over a thousand people in El Salvador, somehow survived the boot. Even Selma from 2017 didn't get the boot. As a result, I think Amanda might stay.  ''[[User:JavaHurricane| <span style = "color:green">Java</span>]][[User talk:JavaHurricane|<span style = "color:red">Hurricane</span>]]'' 05:00, June 6, 2020 (UTC)
 
Um Java, [[wikipedia:Tropical Storm Amanda (2020)|the article]] says that the 200 million USD in damage from Amanda is from El Salvador, not from Guatemala. Obviously Guatemala's track record isn't the best, having snubbed storms like Aletta of 1982 and Agatha of 2010, but El Salvador might be a different story, as destructive storms are less common there...also, Paul wasn't a named storm when it struck Central America, but was a depression, which likely explains his snub. Selma did kill 17, but they were in Honduras and Nicaragua, and damage in El Salvador from Selma was minimal. I know it's a bit of a long shot, but the damage in El Salvador from Amanda isn't negligible, and it might be retired, though it's not a certainty. Hence why I put the header to "potentially for Amanda". '''''[[User:Ryan1000|Ryan]][[User talk:Ryan1000|1000]]''''' 06:49, June 6, 2020 (UTC)
 
 
If Amanda is retired, my favorite names to replace it with include Ariana (Grande gets her own hurricane name lol), Amy, Annabelle, Amelia, Alice, Amber, Angelica, and Abigail. The NHC might hesitate to consider ''Ava'' due to the C5 hurricane bearing that name in 1973. I don't think it's as likely an Atlantic retired name will be picked, but if they do pick one, I'd like to see ''Alicia'' be chosen since it is my older sister's name. ~ '''<font face="Verdana">[[User:StevDev |<span style="color:#40B;">Steve</span>]]</font>''' [[Message Wall:StevDev #top|<span class="button">Message Me</span>]][[Special:Contributions/StevDev|<span class="button">My Edits</span>]][[Special:EmailUser/StevDev|<span class="button">📧</span>]] 01:20, June 7, 2020 (UTC)
 
 
If Amanda is retired, I REALLY want it to be replaced by Anastasia or Annastasia (however you want to spell it). Although it might be somewhat similar to Ana, I wouldn't really care. ~ [[User:Bluecaner|<span style="color:blue;">'''Blue'''</span><span style="color:teal;">'''caner'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Bluecaner|talk]]) (18:07 UTC, June 24th)

Guess that leaves just Genevieve and Odalys for the 2020 EPac TCR’s. I predicted genny would be last, and considering it was the only named storm (besides Amanda, whose TCR was finished a while back) to cause any impact on land this year, it probably will come out after Odalys.

About two weeks ago, the NHC completed their first TCR of the 2020 season, and it's for One-E. No changes were made to the intensity of the storm, but the advisory timing was changed; NHC operationally declared it at 1500 UTC on the 25th, but reanalysis suggests it was a depression at 0600 UTC that day. Ryan1000 04:10, July 13, 2020 (UTC)

Over two and a half months later, the second TCR of the season has been completed (actually completed on September 10th, but only published today), this time for Amanda. Again, no changes to the intensity, but instead to the timing. Operationally declared as a TD at 2100 UTC on May 30th, but reanalysis suggests it became one at 1800 UTC on that same day. She also made landfall earlier, at 1000 URC on the 31st compared to 1200 UTC operationally, and peaked 3 hours earlier, 0600 UTC compared to 0900 UTC operationally. Nutfield001 (talk) 19:21, September 18, 2020 (UTC)

Elida's TCR is out, four days after it was completed. Adjustments have been made to her formation time, having actually formed at 1800 UTC on August 8th, in comparison to 0300 UTC on August 9th operationally, and most notably her intensity, with reanalysis suggesting she was a 105mph hurricane with a central pressure reading of 971mb, not 100mph and 975mb as was originally thought. Nutfield001 (talk) 02:01, October 28, 2020 (UTC)

Also, the TCR says it dissipated on the 12th, not the 13th. Ryan1000 15:37, October 28, 2020 (UTC)

Cristina's TCR is out, albeit completed a week ago. No intensity upgrade, sadly, plus it became a low on the 12th July, not the 13th. Nutfield001 (talk) 22:59, November 20, 2020 (UTC)

Douglas's TCR was completed a few days ago but released today. No change in windspeed or pressure but lifespan was shortened.  ~ Roy25   Talk | Contributions   21:16, December 01, 2020 (UTC) 

Lowell's TCR has been released having only been completed yesterday. No changes to the duration or its windspeed but its pressure is up by 2 mb. Nutfield001 (talk) 22:21, December 3, 2020 (UTC)

Seven-E's TCR has een released and was upgraded to an unnamed tropical storm. So we have Tropical Storm Seven-E.  ~ Roy25   Talk | Contributions   15:01, December 11, 2020 (UTC) 

Interesting...not every day a tropical depression gets buffed to a TS in reanalysis, the last time that happened in the EPac was, I believe, tropical storm one-e in 1996. Ryan1000 16:00, December 11, 2020 (UTC)

TCRs for Six-E and Ten-E are out with no change for both depressions, although Six-E's was completed on December 20 while Ten-E's was completed on January 4.  ~ Roy25   Talk | Contributions   23:39, January 07, 2021 (UTC)
