Will this tropical storm become the first ever to start with a ‘V’?

The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season marks one of only three seasons (the others are 1960 and 1961) with two category 5 hurricanes. It may also be the first ever to have 22 storms. (V is 21 because Q isn't used -- and V hasn't been used before because in 1933, the only year so far to have 21 storms, storms weren't given alphabetical names, they were usually named by where they came ashore in the U.S.)
