Getting to the letter F already, the 6th name storm on the Atlantic basin so early in the hurricane season is probably an indicator of where things are headed this year.
With an almost La Nina in the Pacific, possibly turning to a La Nina, increasing odds of a an active season this year.
Here are all the names coming up this year. It would not be surprizing if we use all of them up and have to add other ones.

COLORADO STATE INCREASES ITS SEASONAL HURRICANE FORECAST

Should we experience a season in which we have 21 named tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin, any additional storms get names from the Greek alphabet.
So, let’s say we have a storm named Walter. If another formed, we would then move onto Alpha, then Beta, then Gamma and so on.
The first and last instance in which the Greek alphabet was needed was in 2005, during the busiest hurricane season on record, when there were 28 named storms.
“After getting through the alphabet — and remember that every letter isn’t used, because it’s tough to find six names beginning with some of the uncommon letters — we had storms named Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon and Zeta,” Gross said. “The next busiest season was 1933, when we had 20 storms, but they didn’t name storms back then.”
metmike: So this year, after/if the last letter in the alphabet, W is used for Wilfred, the next storms will be named Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon and Zeta
