So far this hurricane season, we had tropical storm Alberto, tropical storm Beryl, and tropical storm Chris.

The next one was supposed to be named "Debby", giving me an obvious tie-in to "Debbie Does Dallas".

But for some reason, NOAA is calling the recently-formed tropical storm "Tropical Depression FOUR".

Uh, guys?  What about Debby?

UPDATE:  Oh, I see.  Tropical Storm FOUR is only a depression.  It won’t become a "Debby" until it’s upgraded to an actual STORM (which isn’t expected through Wednesday).

UPDATE AGAIN:  On the other hand, CNN has the headline "Depression in Atlantic may become Tropical Storm Debby"
