Regarding Hurricanes: I Give Up!

Hurricane Teddy won't be hitting the American Northeast, though it could do some damage in the Canadian Maritimes, but I'm having trouble keeping up with all of these storms - especially the disturbances out at sea or off the African coast that are given almost zero chance of forming . . . and then form anyway!

The disturbance that wasn't supposed to be a tropical storm after it was supposed to become one became Tropical Storm Wilfred, and that storm has since dissipated.  Meanwhile, it looked like that a storm in the Gulf of Mexico that originally wasn't supposed to form would become Wilfred, then Alpha, going to Greek letters, but then a disturbance that had a low chance of being a problem became Subtropical - Subtropical? - Storm Alpha and made landfall on the Iberian Peninsula (affecting both Portugal and Spain) in southwestern Europe.  Now the Gulf disturbance is Tropical Storm Beta and is about to hit Texas.  But there's another disturbance near the Azores in the eastern Atlantic Ocean that's actually a remnant of Hurricane Paulette and has a medium chance of forming, and it may have become a tropical depression soon . . . 

Got all that?

And the hurricane season doesn't end until November 30 . . .
