Invest 94L

Because Invest 94L is going to bring heavy downpours and possible flooding to Texas regardless of development, should we create a page for it before it develops? 47.17.48.231 (talk) 13:11, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If ((94L) Tropical Storm Nicholas strengthens, perhaps into a hurricane, before making landfall, then definitely create a draft article; if it makes landfall as a weak tropical storm causing minimal damage, then maybe not. Drdpw (talk) 15:56, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nicholas 2 mph?

There seems to be a typo where Nicholas suddenly went from 12 to 2 miles per hour for 2 updates and then a roughly bumped back to 12 miles per hour an hour later. B137 (talk) 05:46, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@B137: Nicholas' center reformed, which probably messed with its movement in the advisories. Akber mamps 05:52, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Auxiliary List

I have a question should we add the Auxiliary list since we are 2 names away from it or is it too soon still? Wikihelp7586 (Talk) 23:56, 24 September 2021

I think we should do something like we did last year and add maybe the first six names from the list. TornadoLGS (talk) 00:11, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

→ Link to last year's discussion: Talk:2020 Atlantic hurricane season/Archive 1#Greek letter names in Storm names section

Perhaps add a portion of the list but keep the unused names hidden until active. Drdpw (talk) 00:20, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TornadoLGS and Drdpw I agree with you guys we should add some of the names on there like last year. Wikihelp7586 (Talk) 00:30, 25 September 2021

Yes we should add it and after the end of the season we can remove all the unused names. Hurricane4235 (talk) 10:53, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In Pacific typhoon articles, the first ten names of the auxiliary list are shown year-round. Perhaps we should do the same? 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 10:59, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With only two names left on the original list, we should follow the procedure we did last year and add the list, but keep all but a few names hidden until more form. For example, we could show the first six and if the list extends past say that 3rd or 4th name in the aux list, then reveal another set. Gum balls 678 talk 21:15, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2 is very close to running of standard names so I think we should add auxiliary list names HurricaneResearch (talk) 22:45, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Going by last year's practice, this is what should be added:


Auxiliary list
Adria (unused) Braylen (unused)	Caridad (unused) Deshawn (unused)	Emery (unused) Foster (unused)

If there are no objections, and if no one beats me to it, this is what I will add to the article (I will probably hold off until tomorrow, before implementing). Cheers. Drdpw (talk) 00:05, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add a Wikipedia page for Hurricane Sam (2021)

Do you guys think should we make a page on Wikipedia for Sam? Since it a Cat 4 and Other major storms do have a page (example: Grace, Ida and Larry). HurricaneResearch (talk) 22:49, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneResearch: Hey there! It doesn't seem to be needed quite yet, as there are no forecasted or known impacts at the time, whereas there were for Grace, Ida, and Larry. If there end up being impacts from Sam, we could create an article then. codingcyclone ^{please ping}/_{my wreckage} 23:00, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@codingcyclone My thoughts on the location the impact will be happening is in the Northern Leeward Islands and Bermuda HurricaneResearch (talk) 23:47, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneResearch: Per WP:FORUM, this is not the place to speculate on impact locations. Creating an article based on such speculation would violate WP:CRYSTAL. TornadoLGS (talk) 23:58, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let just wait until Sam dissipate and all the information gathered in we will actually see the impact locations HurricaneResearch (talk) 00:01, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is there at least maybe a draft for Sam currently? Kaiser Jaguar (talk) 00:47, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@KaiserJaguar No. I sent a draft but sadly they reviewed it and Rejected. HurricaneResearch (talk) 01:00, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
