That is great, some people think that the NHC "wastes" names in storms like Shary, but this proves that they name the systems when they have available data that supports tropical storm intensity.

I got a part-time there working with Chris Landsea on the hurricane re-analysis project. Very excited for the opportunity. I've met most of the staff and so far I'm speechless, especially meeting Bill Read.
