So what's the deal with names as storms traverse the E Pac into Central Pac?  We've got Madeline in the CPAC tracking west and Lester in the EPAC tracking west.... Madeline is tracked by the CPHC and not NHC which was confusing when I Went to NHC looking for info on Madeline....instead I see only Lester still in the EPAC and was confused since L comes before M.....I guess Madeline formed in the CPAC so got a CPAC name.....Lester if continues east will stay Lester so that the CPAC 2016 record will show two "L" storms.....I assume ther already an "L" CPAC Storm given we're currently at Madeline.....lolz that post

the nhc gives out forcasts on storms in the east pacific.. until a storm gets to 140 west then the central hurricane center takes over.. that is there sphere of responsibility..

Ok so when a storm crosses 140 west what happens to the name?  And how is that recorded in CPAC records?  Seems multiple letter storms are possible under this arrangement.....

the name remains the same.. now if the storms happens to make it into the western pacific the name will change depending on what country it affects...

That's not true, the name stays the same but it just switches from being called a hurricane to a typhoon. A good example of that is Ioke, the most powerful CPAC Storm on record. It happened several years back and made the transition. Hurricane/typhoon John was a big deal too because it set the record for most miles traveled.

Sometimes the locals have a second name for storms, especially in the Philippines. I think that's why you might have thought it changes.

I just came home from Hawaii a week ago. They still talk about the impact from Iniki. In fact, they have a major overpopulation of wild chickens because a lot of chicken coops were destroyed during that storm and many chickens escaped. 

The height of some of those volcanic peaks are enough to disrupt a lot of circulations.
