They won't know any retired names until the WMO meeting in March or April.

There probably won't be any though.

no reason to retire hit. It didn't exactly have a significant impact on land

If any name is retired, it would be Jimena, but I'm guessing all the lists will be intact in 2015.

I'm thinking Hamish will be retired from the Australian basin.

For the WPAC, I'd retire Morakot, Ketsana, and Parma.

The WMO/ESCAP typhoon committee only retires typhoon names a season after they have been used.

As for the RA IV area, whatever the NHC might put on their website for names isn't official until the committee meets and releases its final report...

The only names that stand even a >1% chance of retirement (in all three of the Atl, EPac, and CPac) are Bill, Fred, Ida, Jimena, Rick, and Neki, and even of those, the highest I give any of them (Ida and Jimena) is 10%.

My estimated chance of retirement for each Atlantic name:

Ana - <2%
Bill - 3%
Claudette - <2%
Danny - <2%
Erika - <2%
Fred - <2%
Grace - <2%
Henri - <2%
Ida - 10%

Prediction: List remains intact for 2015. Highest in the EPAC is Jimena (25%), then Rick (10%) with all others really low as well.

chances of Atlantic retirement:

Ana: 0
Bill: 0
Claudette: 0
Danny: 0
Erika: 0
Fred: 0
Grace: 0
Henri: 0
Ida: 2 (depending if El Salvador makes a request)

EPAC:

All 0 except Jimena
Jimena: 5 (Mexico usually does not ask for retirement of EPAC names)
