Mabfan's Musings

I checked with a friend at the NHC as well, and he pointed out that the transition from the 2005 Greek letters to Tropical Storm Alberto (first of the Atlantic tropical storm names for 2006) would occur, specifically, at 0000 UTC (aka GMT aka Zulu) on 1 Jan 2006. Zeta will still remain Zeta, of course, but a new storm that erupts between now and midnight UTC (less than 24 hours away now) would get Eta, but any that developed after midnight UTC would be Alberto. Etc.
