A cluster of thunderstorms organized into a tropical storm. This storm was given a name that follows a previously established sequence. The name was chosen years ago as part of a rotation that occurs every six years.

The storm's name is the same as that of a recently deceased musician, but this is a coincidence. The name has been used before and was added to the list after another storm caused significant damage.

Further information about the storm and its naming is available from the National Hurricane Center, which tracks and names tropical systems.
