Re: Atlantic Season starts Saturday, East Pac Hurricane Barbara Makes Landfall

It's my understanding that if Barbara loses definitive tropical cyclone characteristics during its forecast voyage over to the GOM, its remnants in whatever form they then take would be eligible for a new name from the Atlantic menu should they help result in tropical cyclone formation there. On the other hand, should Barbara consistently remain a tropical cyclone all the way from the eastern Pacific to the western Atlantic, it would retain its Pacific name.

Per NHC this afternoon:

SHOULD BARBARA MAINTAIN TROPICAL CYCLONE STATUS ALL THE WAY INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO...IT WOULD RETAIN ITS NAME.
