2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season (Alternate Version)

The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season  The 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Started On Saturday June 1st Technically On Tuesday May 28th With Tropical Storm Andrea Forming Then In Late July 2019 Hurricane Chantal Formed Which Was The First Hurricane Of The Season And Peaked As A Major Hurricane. After An Unusually Quiet Early August. Hypercane Dorian (Orginally Hurricane Dorian Before June 2027) Formed During the Middle Of The Month And It Broke A Record The Record Was The Strongest Winds in a hurricane ever it had beaten Hurricane (Hypercane) Allen of 1980 with Peak wind of 205 Mph. Radar Estimates Recorded 220 Mph (Sustained Winds) But the NHC Didnt Upgrade it to that strength because a lack of proof also this storm (This Would Change In April 2020 Where The Winds Were Upgraded To 225 Mph And The Pressure Was Changed To 860MB) Damages Where as far north as Eastern Michigan. September 2019 And October 2019 was Extremely Active Some Tropical Storms And Hurricane Lorenzo Made Landfall In the USA. In Late September 2019 The Tropical Wave Which Eventually Became Hurricane Nestor or Some People "Carribean Worst Nightmare" Formed Off the African West Coast And Was Moving West Towards The Caribbean It Cause Alot Of Damage in Puerto Rico The Worst Since Hurricane Maria Of 2017. Hurricane Nestor Continued West And on September 25th it reached peak intensity near the Florida Keys. Nestor Weakend To High Cat 4 then Restrenghen into a Cat 5 With 160 Mph Winds and Made Landfall in Texas it caused Flooding in Texas This Storm Was Very Similar To Hurricane Harvey of 2017 But Stronger But at the same time it didnt cause very bad flooding like Harvey. In Late October 2019 Around A Week Before Halloween Hurricane Sebastein Formed in the Caribbean It Was Very Similar to Hurricane Sandy Of 2012 it Moved North And Made Landfall in Maine It Peaked As A Category 3. In Late November 2019 Hurricane Wendy Or Some Called It The "The Hurricane That Ruined The Holiday Season" Formed in The Caribbean and it Rapidly Intensified to a Cat 3 And It Continued Into December 2019, Then on December 2nd it Peaked As A Cat 5 Which Make this the lastest Cat 5 Ever And The Strongest December Hurricane In The Western Hemisphere And It Also Killed A lot of people and caused a lot of damage Then Shear Winds Dramatically Weakend the Storm. December Was An Active Month In Terms In Amount Of Storms Tropical Storm Alpha Formed And Dissapaited A Few Days Later In The Beginning Of The Month. Then On Christmas Day Hurricane Beta"The Hurricane That Ruined Christmas And New Year's" Formed And It Intensified Into A Category 3 Hurricane Then Quickly Weaken When It Ecountered Cold Air From Canada. After That Beta Became A Winter Storm And Wreak Havoc Into 2020.

Seasonal forecasts
Ahead of and during the season, several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson scale) will form during a season, and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country. These agencies include the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of the University College London, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Colorado State University (CSU). The forecasts include weekly and monthly changes in significant factors that help determine the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes within a particular year. Some of these forecasts also take into consideration what happened in previous seasons and the dissipation of the 2014–16 El Niño event. On average, an Atlantic hurricane season between 1981 and 2010 contained twelve tropical storms, six hurricanes, and two major hurricanes, with an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index of between 70 and 110 units.

Pre-season outlooks
The first forecast for the year was issued by TSR on December 13, 2018. They anticipated that the 2019 season would be a near-average season, with a prediction of 15 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. They also predicted an ACE index of around 100 units. On December 14, CSU released a qualitative discussion detailing five possible scenarios for the 2019 season, taking into account the state of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and the possibility of El Niño developing during the season. TSR lowered their forecast numbers on April 5, 2019 to 11 named storms, 4 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes, based on recent trends favoring the development of El Niño. The next day, CSU released their prediction, also predicting a total of 11 named storms, 4 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes. On April 17, The Weather Company released their forecasts, calling for 2019 to be a near-average season, with a total of 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes. The next day, on April 18, North Carolina State University released their prediction, also predicting a near-average season, with a total of 11–15 named storms, 4–6 hurricanes, and 1–3 major hurricanes. On May 20, The Weather Company issued an updated forecast, raising their numbers to 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes to account for Tropical Storm Andrea as well as the decreasing chance of El Niño forming during the season. On May 25, NOAA released their prediction, citing a 70% chance of an above average season due to "a weak or nonexistent El Niño", calling for 11–17 named storms, 5–10 hurricanes, and 2–4 major hurricanes. On May 26, TSR updated its prediction to around the same numbers as its December 2018 prediction, with only a minor change in the expected ACE index amount to 95 units.

Mid-season outlooks
CSU updated their forecast on June 1 to include 16 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes, to include Tropical Storm Andrea.It was based on the current status of the North Atlantic Oscillation, which was showing signs of leaning towards a negative phase, favoring a warmer tropical Atlantic; and the chances of El Niño forming were significantly lower. However, they stressed on the uncertainty that the El Niño–Southern Oscillation could be in a warm-neutral phase or weak El Niño conditions by the peak of the season.On the same day, the United Kingdom Met Office (UKMO) released its forecast of a very slightly above-average season. It predicted 14 named storms, with a 70% chance that the number would be in the range between 10 and 16, and 8 hurricanes, with a 70% chance that the number would be in the range between 6 and 10. It also predicted an ACE index of 145, with a 70% chance that the index would be between 92 and 198.On July 4, TSR released their fourth forecast for the season, increasing their predicted numbers to 17 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes, due to the fact that El Niño conditions would no longer develop by the peak of the season and the warming of sea-surface temperatures across the basin. Additionally, they predicted a revised ACE index of 120 units. During August 9, NOAA released their final outlook for the season, raising their predictions to 14–19 named storms, though retaining 5–9 hurricanes and 2–5 major hurricanes. They also stated that the season had the potential to be extremely active, possibly the most active since 2010.

Tropical Storm Andrea
.

Tropical Storm Barry
On May 30th, the NHC began tracking an non-tropical low for organization. Initially, convection was very limited. However, on June 3, the NHC began issuing advisories on Subtropical Depression Two. Mid day on June 4th however, it degenerated back into an extratropical storm due to wind shear. Early on June 6th, it regenerated into Subtropical Storm Barry. Later that same day, due to warm sea surface temperatures and shear of about 10kts, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Barry. It peaked at 60mph as it became a tropical storm. After that it began weakening, and it made land landfall early on June 7th as a 50mph tropical storm. Due to the Brown Ocean Effect, it maintained tropical storm strength until early on June 8th, when it weakened to a tropical depression. It maintained tropical cyclone status until early on June 9th, when it was downgraded to Subtropical Depression Barry. It continued as a subtropical depression until later on June 9th, when it was upgraded to Subtropical Storm Barry due to warm waters underneath it and low wind shear. Finally, early on June 10th, it degenerated back into an extratropical storm, and the NHC issued it's final advisory, though it's remnants were tracked until late on June 10th when it was adsorbed by a frontal system over Canada.

Hurricane Chantal
On May 28th, the NHC discussed the possibility of a tropical wave that was forecast to move of the African coast in a few days developing into a tropical depression. On June 1st the wave moved on to the Atlantic, showing few signs of organization. It moved due west at 10 knots for a few days until June 4th. Early that day the wave began to show signs of real organization. A day later, on June 5th, the storm had organized enough convection for the NHC to declare it Tropical Storm Chantal. It maintained tropical storm status until early on June 6th, when the NHC upgraded it to Hurricane Chantal. It continued to intensify, reaching peak intensity later that day. Early on June 7th, the storm made landfall in northern South America, where it caused minor damage. It quickly dissipated due to high amounts of shear and land interaction.

Hurricane Dorian
Early on June 22, the NHC began tracking a tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico. 3 days later, it was upgraded to Tropical Depression 3. Just 6 hours later it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Dorian. Twelve hours after it became a tropical depression, it was upgraded to Hurricane Dorian, just barely a hurricane. It then made landfall over Florida, causing minimal damage and leaving 8,000 without power. It then went back over water, but failed to power back up much. It then made a second landfall over Georgia and dissipated 6 hours later. It caused minor flooding in Georgia and increased thunderstorm activity in the state due to tropical moisture it brought inland.

Tropical Depression Five
On June 25th, the NHC began tracking a tropical wave that was about to move of the west coast of Africa. It moved mostly west at 5 kts for the next 4 days. Then, early on June 29th, the NHC upgraded it to Tropical Depression Five. It was originally expected to become a tropical storm, as favorable conditions appeared to be surrounding it. However, higher sheer than thought caused it to remain a tropical depression. Late on July 2nd, the storm encountered a burst of shear that caused it to degenerate into a remnant. The NHC issued it's final advisory when it went a remnant.

Tropical Depression Nine
On August 1st, the NHC began tracking a tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico for development. It slowly organized despite favorable environment. Early on August fourth, after days of little organization, the NHC upgraded it to Tropical Depression Nine. It was originally expected to make landfall as a tropical storm, but never reached that intensity. It became an open trough 1 day after forming and 12 hours after landfall.

Storm Names
The following list of names was used for named storms that form in the North Atlantic in 2019. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2025 season. This is the same list used in the 2013 season, with the exception of the name Imelda, which replaced Ingrid.

Retirement
Due of his massive destruction,the name Jerry was retired and replaced by Jean,in the 2024 season.

Season effects
This is a table of the storms and their effects in the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. This table includes the storm's names, duration, peak intensity, Areas affected (bold indicates made landfall in that region at least once), damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still storm-related. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave or a low. All of the damage figures are in 2019 USD (the listed damage figure is in millions).
