DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Delta was
located near latitude 16.4 North, longitude 78.4 West. The
storm is moving toward the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and
this general motion should continue for the next day or so. A
faster northwestward motion is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On the forecast track, the center of Delta is expected to
move away from Jamaica later today, move near or over the Cayman
Islands later tonight, and approach the Isle of Youth and western
Cuba Tuesday afternoon or evening. Delta is forecast to move into
the southeastern Gulf of Mexico Tuesday night or early Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is expected during the
next few days, and the tropical storm is expected to be a hurricane
when it moves near or over western Cuba.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Delta can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41
KNHC, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT1.shtml.
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge will raise water levels by
as much as 3 to 5 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate
coast of the Isle of Youth and along the south coast of western
Cuba near and to right of where the center makes landfall. Near the
coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves.
RAINFALL: Through midweek, Delta is expected to produce 3 to
5 inches of rain with isolated maximum totals of 8 inches across
Jamaica and western Cuba. This rainfall could lead to significant
flash floods and mudslides. Over the Cayman Islands, 2 to 4 inches
of rainfall will be possible with this system.
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected in the Cayman Islands
beginning late today. Hurricane conditions are possible within
the Hurricane Watch area by Tuesday afternoon, with tropical storm
conditions possible by early Tuesday. Tropical Storm conditions
are possible in the Tropical Storm Watch area in Cuba by early
Tuesday.

which ends November 30, but as a weather hobbyist I did marvel at the storms that just kept on coming that year. 
There has been discussion about how to characterize storms that form either before the "official" season (which begins June 1st) and after. Since they usually end up naming those pre- and post-season storms, it sortof suggests they endorse continuing to include them.
But I guess one of these days, if we can get past the nightmare we're going through with the interference and politicization of NOAA, and finally get the acceptance that climate change does exist, maybe they will "officially" expand the "season" by 2 months - with a month tacked onto either end.
