Hurricane Eta

2005 technically had the same number of storms, but they didn't name the last one because it was after November 30th.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Storm_Zeta_(2005) Zeta was named on December 31, 2005 and it lasted into January 2006.

There really is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen to it when it interacts with the mountainous area of Nicaragua. Let's pray it falls apart and dissipates!

My source was incorrect. It was a reclassification of an October storm (reclassified in April of 2006). Would have been Tammy.

From Wikipedia:

"The 2005 Azores storm was not classified as a subtropical storm until April 2006, after a reassessment by the National Hurricane Center.[7] Had it been operationally classified as such, it would have been named Tammy.[8] Every year, the NHC re-analyzes the systems of the past hurricane season and revises the storm history if there is new data that was operationally unavailable.[2] This reanalysis revealed that the storm became a subtropical storm on October 4, making it the earliest forming 19th Atlantic tropical or subtropical storm on record."

Windy.com has some interesting animation into next week. Bouncing east out Belize towards Cuba. Crossing Cuba and then colliding with another High in Florida and the bouncing west along the north coast of Cuba to reform next week into a major Hurricane in the middle of the gulf. The blocking highs to the north seem to be bouncing this thing like a pinball
