Storm systems are given names according to procedures. The World Meteorological Organization sets these procedures, which include reusing lists of names every six years. The lists for the Atlantic region are alphabetical and alternate between male and female names.

A weather system off Africa is being monitored and may strengthen into a named storm. This season has already seen storms such as Arthur and Bertha bring rain to the Gulf Coast.

Further details about the naming of storms and the current weather system are available from the source, including information about the next storm's name.
