NEW YORK - Tropical Storm Wilfred and Subtropical Storm Alpha formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Friday , becoming the 21st and 22nd named storms since May and exhausting this year's list of names, with over two months left in the active hurricane season.
No watches or warnings were in effect for Wilfred, which forecasters expected to strengthen slightly on Friday and then weaken over the following days. Forecasters have resorted to the Greek alphabet only once before, in 2005, when meteorologists used six Greek names in a season that had 28 named storms, said Mr Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman and meteorologist with the National Hurricane Centre in Miami.
This week, Hurricane Sally landed in Alabama as a Category 2 storm. A slow-moving system, it brought heavy rains, massive flooding and severe damage to Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and much of the South-east.
