| Tropical Storm Alpha |
| Entering new territory |
|
For the first time in history, we've used up all the names for Tropical Storms. This has never happened before... the old record of 21 named storms is broken. And we still have more than a month of the season left... |
| October 22 |
|
a record setting new tropical storm has formed southwest of Puerto Rico in
the Caribbean Sea. Tropical Storm Alpha sets a new Atlantic Basin record for
named storms: 22 in one season. The storm is forecast to move NNW over Haiti
Sunday, then through the southern Bahamas before turning northward and
northeastward into the Atlantic.
A tropical storm warning has been issued for Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Heavy rain is beginning to spread into Hispaniola with up to a foot expected in isolated locations. Life-threatening flash floods and mudslides may result.

Alpha has weakened to a tropical depression after making landfall in the
Dominican Republic Sunday morning. It has pushed across Haiti and back over
open water, but is not expected to regain tropical storm strength as it
heads north over the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. The
remains of Alpha will be absorbed by the larger circulation of Hurricane
Wilma some time tomorrow.
