Storms[]

Hurricane Alberto[]

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
Counterclockwise vortex
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)
Counterclockwise vortex
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)
Counterclockwise vortex
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)
Counterclockwise vortex
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[]

Category 5 hurricane (SSHWS)
Counterclockwise vortex
Duration September 14 – September 28
Peak intensity 185 mph (295 km/h) (1-min)  894 mbar (hPa)


Hurricane Ernesto[]

Category 5 hurricane (SSHWS)
Counterclockwise vortex
Duration October 6 – October 28
Peak intensity 195 mph (315 km/h) (1-min)  873 mbar (hPa)


Tropical Depression Seven[]

Tropical depression (SSHWS)
Counterclockwise vortex
Duration October 18 – October 19
Peak intensity 35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min)  996 mbar (hPa)


Hurricane Florence[]

Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
Counterclockwise vortex
Duration October 23 – November 3
Peak intensity 115 mph (185 km/h) (1-min)  958 mbar (hPa)


Hurricane Gordon[]

Category 5 hurricane (SSHWS)
Counterclockwise vortex
Duration November 7 – November 21
Peak intensity 175 mph (280 km/h) (1-min)  912 mbar (hPa)
