1999 Hypothetical Atlantic hurricane season

The 1999 Atlantic hurricane season was an active season and marked the first time that the first storm of the season and the season before it formed early.

Tropical Storm Arlene
In late May, a trough of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico strengthened into Tropical Storm Arlene while about 200 miles south of the Mississippi Delta. Arlene slowly moved northeast towards Alabama. Arlene came ashore on May 27th, 2 days after it formed. As it drifted over southern Alabama and into Georgia, Arlene began to rapidly weaken and was declared a remnant low on May 28th, where it emerged into the Atlantic Ocean and dissipated a few miles off the Florida coast. Damage from Arlene was relatively minimal, at $3 million USD and no recorded fatalities.

Tropical Storm Bret
A tropical wave exited the coast of Africa on June 11th. Under favorable conditions, a tropical depression formed and strengthened into Tropical Storm Bret on August 13th while about 300 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. Bret slowly moved west towards Trinidad and Tobago, temporarily bringing near-tropical storm force winds. Bret passed over Grenada on June 16th, dealing $300,000 USD in damages. A man drowned after slipping off his boat in high seas. Bret slowly weakened as it moved through the Caribbean, opening up into a tropical wave on June 18th

Hurricane Cindy
A tropical wave located 80 miles north of the Virgin Islands began to strengthen, becoming a tropical depression on July 8th. A period of intensification followed, and it was upgraded to a tropical storm, Cindy, about 6 hours later. Moving northwest towards Florida, Cindy began strengthening, becoming a hurricane while 200 miles north-northwest of Hispaniola. Turning north while 120 miles off the coast of Florida, Cindy began to pick up speed as it moved up the Eastern shoreboard. On July 12th, Cindy reached peak intensity as a category 2 hurricane while 400 miles off the coast of Virginia. Rip currents along the east coast of the United States drowned three people, 2 in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the other in Rehoboth, Delaware. Cindy began to weaken as it entered the cooler waters of New England, weakening to a category 1 hurricane on July 15th, becoming extratropical on July 16th while 100 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
