There have been a few updates made by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) beginning this year. For example, those that follow these systems (doesn't everybody?) can look at the Tropical Cyclone Discussion page and find an additional piece of information. The table will add an extra column that denotes forecast intensity in MPH (or miles per hour).
Also, a nice addition has been made to help pronounce the names. For example, here is a couple of names and their phonetic pronunciations:
Katia ka-TEE-ah
Philippe fee-LEEP
The list of phonetic names can be seen here.

That's all for now. Wow, it feels amazing out there this morning. Enjoy it because the heat will be coming back.
