the system in the gulf of alaska is likely to become deep enough to classify as a windstorm at 06z
should we designate it and begin?
it would be called Windstorm Kilallurak
it is expected to cross over alaska into the arctic ocean but will not be of windstorm intensity by that time (we'd drop it anyway, unless dar wants to be pleasure master arctic windstorm tracker)
around 3 to 5 days out we should see one or two more named (weak) windstorms off BC
over the next six months we are likely to reach somewhere near the end of List 6 which is the list just completed in name game, which means we'll have to soon determine the final forms of the lists from name game (names like Whopper, Xanax, and Yqt for example will probably need to be replaced). Ho as well might have to, just because, while a legitimate name, could also be considered an offensive word.
