But as of Tuesday (September 15th) the National Hurricane Center was tracking three more potential weather systems, and if one of those becomes Wilfred, then we\u2019ll switch to a new alphabet for names for the rest: the Greek one. And it\u2019s happened before\u2014in 2005 we ended up using six Greek names: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon and Zeta.
