Forecasters hit the end of the Atlantic storm name list for the third time ever with Tropical Storm Wanda
CBSN
Tropical Storm Wanda formed over the Atlantic Ocean this weekend — and while it isn't expected to make landfall, it's still making history. For only the third time ever, forecasters have run out of the typical alphabetical names for storms, forcing them to seek an additional naming system for any storms that occur for the rest of the year.
Wanda has recorded winds of up to 45 miles per hour, and a small strengthening is expected through the next few days, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The storm, which is well out to sea and is not expected to have a major impact or make landfall in the United States, is the 21st storm this season. It's a very busy season, compared to the average 14 named storms the U.S typically sees.
