Confusion with Lana

There seems to be some confusion over whether six-E became One-C. The rule is that they retain its number or and its name when it crosses in the CPHC area of responsibility. However, the system received a CPHC name because it was named there.

Tropical Storm Lana

Yesterday the NHC noted that there was a chance that a tropical depression was forming. At 8 AM the NHC began issuing advisories on Six-E. Six hours later it became Tropical Storm Lana. Lana currently has winds of 65 mph.. The NHC thinks that this is its peak, but I think it will become a 80 mph hurricane and reach the WPAC as a 25 mph TD.
