The overlay of "S" is supposed to stand for "Tropical Storm".  The overlay will 
change to any of the digits 1-5 if the storm becomes a hurricane and the 
overlay digit is the category of the hurricane.  So Ike currently should have 
an overlay of 4 since it's spun up to a Category 4 hurricane (not so good for 
my parents if it continues on its track).
