The Weather Channel website lists Q as a storm name and provide this annotation:

[Begin excerpt from Weather Channel website]
Q: The Broadway Express subway line in New York City.
[End excerpt from Weather Channel website]

The primary reference here is probably the popular Broadway musical
with muppet-like characters called "Avenue Q". Arnold notes that the
Star Trek character Q is also a relevant pop reference.
