An unnamed [[w:subtropical cyclone|subtropical storm]] known only as "Storm 91C" packing winds of up to 40&nbsp;mph struck the U.S. state of [[w:Washington|Washington]] on Friday. The storm was a very rare occurrence, and caused minimal damage.

It formed from an [[w:extratropical cyclone|extratropical storm]] around October 30 in the Central Pacific and became subtropical on November 1, and was recognized as "Storm 91C" by the U.S. Navy. The storm was out of the [[w:National Hurricane Center|National Hurricane Center]] (NHC) and the [[w:Central Pacific Hurricane Center|Central Pacific Hurricane Center]]'s (CPHC) areas of responsibility, and therefore didn't receive a name. In addition, the CPHC doesn't issue advisories on subtropical storms.
