Currently a tropical depression (24) in the Caribbean (between Honduras, Jamaica and Cuba), it is currently forecast to become a hurricane (the 11th of the Atlantic season), and potentially a major one (the 6th of the Atlantic season). If so, it will be Wilma, and any storms following it will have to be named after the letters of the Greek alphabet.
We've already beat the record of the most named Atlantic storms (19 in 1995) and are close to beating the most Atlantic tropical storms ever recorded in one year (21 in 1933).
And hurricane season isn't over until November 30th.
