2005 Record Hurricane Season

Just curious... Where did you find this? I'm trying to find an 'official' source that explains how a retired greek-named storm would work, or IF one can be retired. Thanks!
 
Heh, they (tropical storms name panel) probably never thought this would happen, and if it did, if Alpha would be significant enough to retire (or rename).
 
AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER HAS FORMED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

ANOTHER AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER...ASSOCIATED WITH A WESTWARD-MOVING TROPICAL WAVE...IS LOCATED ABOUT 550 MILES EAST OF THE SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT CURRENTLY FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT.

From the 11:30am Tropical Weather Outlook... Several globals have forecast the development of a tropical cyclone over the southwestern Caribbean for a couple of days. In fact, I see that the GFS has come around to developing a tropical cyclone in this area as well. This cyclone (Beta?) probably won't be a threat to the US given its location, but it could be a prolific rainfall producer for central America. Any know of other cyclones that have developed in this area in the past?
