https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/18/weather/tropical-storm-wilfred-forms/index.html We've run out of names for the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season (CNN)With the naming of Tropical Storm Wilfred in the eastern Atlantic on Friday, the National Hurricane Center has officially used up all its names for 2020 hurricanes. Wilfred was the last name on this year's list of 21 Atlantic hurricane names -- only the second time in recorded history that all the names were used. The NHC does not use the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z because there aren't enough names to fill those letters. The storm is just over 600 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center. It poses no threat to land and is forecast to weaken over the Atlantic next week. To name additional storms, the NHC will use the Greek alphabet, which has only happened once since NHC started naming storms in 1953. In 2005, the NHC had to use 6 letters of the Greek alphabet for a record number of storms since it had already run through the 21 letters available to the agency in the English alphabet.
