Storms[]
Hurricane Alberto[]
Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS) | |||
---|---|---|---|
| |||
Duration | June 1 – June 5 | ||
Peak intensity | 80 mph (130 km/h) (1-min) 978 mbar (hPa) |
Alberto began as a weak tropical wave which formed in the Intertropical Convergence Zone on June 1. This low moved out of the region, becoming a depression the next day. On June 3, NOAA noticed a weak warm core, which eventually intensified it to a tropical storm. No wind shear allowed it to strenghten into a category 1 on June 4, but it dissipated,the next day due to it entering cooler sea temperatures.
Hurricane Beryl[]
Category 4 hurricane (SSHWS) | |||
---|---|---|---|
| |||
Duration | July 4 – July 16 | ||
Peak intensity | 150 mph (240 km/h) (1-min) 915 mbar (hPa) |
Beryl formed from two low pressure systems on June 4, which merged and became a single storm. A day later, the storm became visible to a Hurricane Hunters aircraft which intercepted it, and realized a warm water zone just 120 miles (193 km) north of it. As it moved towards it, the storm started becoming more powerful. Just 4 hours later, the depression entered the warm water zone and intensified into a Category 1. The next day, a weak eyewall formed, allowing it to rapidly intensify into a Category 3 hurricane. On June 6, the storm underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, which weakened it as it moved towards Florida. After moving over Florida and causing $2.56 million in damage, Beryl again strenghtened into a Category 4, but quickly dissipated, due to increased wind shear.
Tropical Depression Three[]
Tropical depression (SSHWS) | |||
---|---|---|---|
| |||
Duration | August 7 – August 8 | ||
Peak intensity | 35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min) 997 mbar (hPa) |
On June 7, a tropical depression formed from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. The storm itself moved over Mexico, but dissipated the next day due to strong mountain air.
Tropical Storm Chris[]
Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |||
---|---|---|---|
| |||
Duration | August 13 – August 17 | ||
Peak intensity | 60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min) 980 mbar (hPa) |
A depression formed on June 13 out of a super-cell thunderstorm which moved from New York City to the Atlantic Ocean. As it became a storm on June 15, NOAA recognized a small, but still strong eyewall. The storm was named Chris by the NHC. No wind shear allowed it to move towards Florida, where meteorologists expected it to strenghten further, but it impacted Florida on June 19 and dissipated the next day.
Hurricane Debby[]
