Re: nhc doesnt believe in revived storms/? wrong

This was in USA today Sept 16....

If the remnants of Ivan were to cross Virginia would it have the same name or would it be assigned a new name?

A: Ivan's remnants could cross the Southeast and regenerate as a tropical storm and maybe grow into a hurricane. If it did so, it would keep the same name. Storms that have done this have turned back to hit land again. Fortunately, none of the forecast models offer any indication that Ivan is going to do this.
