[edit] Hurricane 3
A lot of the information about Dennis talks about it taking the record from Cindy for earliest 4th named storm. And always, it says Hurricane 3 was unnamed in 1959... but nothing I've seen has said why Hurricane 3 was unnamed. Any ideas how to find that info and put it in this article?
Most likely, the storm wasn't upgraded until after the season was over. Operationally, the National Hurricane Center can't possible receive all of the data from various weather stations and ships, so they take time to process the data after the season is over. This is (most likely) why Hurricane 3 wasn't named. It was possibly a tropical depression, or it was treated as a nontropical low, but after the season, it was upgraded.
