Each year, the National Hurricane Center generates a list of NAMES for the upcoming Atlantic Hurricane Season. These names repeat every six years or so and we would like to list the 2007 name group here for reference. As soon as certain parameters are met and a weather system becomes organized with winds developing at Tropical Storm force levels (39 MPH sustained), the system is given the next available name from the list. "Andrea" has already been used, so the next named storm will be "Barry".
The 2007 Atlantic Tropical System Storm Names:
Andrea
Barry
Chantal
Dean
Erin
Felix
Gabrielle
Humberto
Ingrid
Jerry
Karen
Lorenzo
Melissa
Noel
Olga
Pablo
Rebekah
Sebastien
Tanya
Van
Wendy
As always, we hope and pray that very few of these names will be used. However, based upon early computer modeling, this may be a very active season. We ask that all coastal residents review the Hurricane Preparedness information providied here in this section. Take care and Be Safe.
