About those letters...

The legend on the map will typically provide a breakdown of these symbols, where:

D represents a Tropical Depression (wind speed less than 39 mph)
S represents a Tropical Storm (wind speed between 39 mph and 73 mph)
H represents a Hurricane (wind speed between 74 mph and 110 mph)
M represents a Major Hurricane (wind speed greater than 110 mph)

It's important to remember that this "H" indicates the forecast intensity at that time, and the actual strength of the storm can change as it develops or weakens.

By Thursday we can say one down, eight to go lol.
