I think its even more unusual than that. Might be the earliest

wait and see.


I suppose they are consistent in giving these names only when they
have reached a certain wind speed? I only mention this because Lee
appears to be c 1010mb and the unnamed one 1008mb and I thought,oh,
that would not be much our way in winter.

The storms are only named when they reach 'Tropical storm' intensity.
