How high are the winds at ground level to be "tropical storms"?
39 mph

This is why “There are more storms now than ever before”. Fifty years ago that little fotknocker wouldn’t have even made the news.

There is no way these first 2 storms would have been named even 20 years ago.
The climate nuts at the NHC have to make sure they hit the sky is falling number of named storms each year. The fact the first storm got a name is almost laughable. It barely made the threshold, if it did, and even then lasted less than 24 hours in the open Atlantic. One of the local Houston guys even made jokes about the fact that 'Andrea' was ever a named storm. Barry isn't much better as it will just end up a minimal storm that lasted a day and had the same impact as a typical tropical thunderstorm.

They met the criteria.
But we wouldn't have detected them back then.

bullshite. I said 20 years ago, and that was the Katrina / Rita year. They absolutely had the tech to detect these 'storms', but would have never thought to actually give them a name. I didn't say 50 years ago.
They are naming them now in the name of climate change, logic be damned.

Barry @ 1006 millibars 
Wasted name will be on the coast soon
And totally missed they named that naked swirl Andrea that went puff; like a fart in the wind out in the far Atlantic

I remember last time we had Barry was July 2019(?) I think. Turned out to be a lil shower

Yes because we were leaving for a mission trip to Puerto Rico and I was t sure we were going to be able to get to Houston to make our flight.

CAT 6 on the menu at some point this season.

Ok…. One goes into Mexico and the other area will fizzle out.

Barry was in the original hurricane name list for 1983 that was created in 1979 when male names were added and rotated every 6 years. Any retired names are replaced, but Barry has now existed 8 times without being retired.
1983 - 80 mph - 0 deaths
1989 - 50 mph - 0 deaths
1995 - 70 mph - 0 deaths
2001 - 70 mph - $30 million damage and 9 deaths
2007 - 60 mph and 3 deaths
2013 - 45 mph - $355 million damage and 5 deaths
2019 - 75 mph - $600 million damage and 2 deaths
2025 - 45 mph - 0 deaths
1983 - 80 mph - 0 deaths
1989 - 50 mph - 0 deaths
1995 - 70 mph - 0 deaths
2001 - 70 mph - $30 million damage and 9 deaths
2007 - 60 mph and 3 deaths
2013 - 45 mph - $355 million damage and 5 deaths
2019 - 75 mph - $600 million damage and 2 deaths
2025 - 45 mph - 0 deaths

Thanks for the list ...
Barry hit Louisiana in 2019
The recycled 2025 version of puny Barry is already a Tropical Depression

How are we still tracking this? Trump cut the critical hurricane forecaster funding

I've been saying this for years. Take that Cat 5 last year in the Windward Islands. 60 years ago this thing would have never been discovered until it reached the gulf. It did hit as a Cat 2, but the "first Cat 5 in June" narrative was all they needed. Every thunderstorm off the coast of Africa gets a name. It's just cooking the books. These storms existed a hundred years ago at the same rate, we just didn't know about it.

So do we change the thresholds for naming storms then?

How does a 45mph storm cause 5 deaths? Afternoon thunderstorms here have been exceeding that.
Must have been saturated ground and a tree fell on someone, or a carload of people driving through a flooded road and drowning.
That just seems odd. But I guess when your number is up....
