2041 Atlantic hurricane season (Bob)

The 2041 Atlantic hurricane season was a slightly below average season due to a moderate El Nino event. It featured 11 tropical cyclones, 10 named storms, 3 hurricanes, and only 1 major hurricane. No hurricanes made landfall during this season in the U.S. aside from early Hurricane Arlene. The season had a fast start, with four tropical cyclones forming before the end of July. However, strong wind shear limited activity later in the season.

Hurricane Arlene
On June 2, the National Hurricane Center began monitoring the possibility of an area of low pressure developing in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea. Rapidly developing, a low pressure area developed on June 4 as it entered the Arlene was the earliest major hurricane in several decades in the Atlantic. Low wind shear facilitated development into Tropical Depression One by 06:00 UTC on June 5 north of the Yucatan Peninsula. 6 hours later, One intensified into Tropical Storm Arlene. Arlene then rapidly intensified due to virtually no wind shear, a rare event for June in the Gulf of Mexico. Late on June 5, Arlene was a category 1 hurricane. Arlene acquired its peak intensity with winds of 115 mph and a minimum pressure of 966 mbar at 12:00 UTC on June 6. 6 hours later, Arlene weakened to a category 2 hurricane as it made landfall in northwestern Florida. Arlene then rapidly weakened over land, becoming a tropical storm by 00:00 UTC on June 9. Shortly after weakening below hurricane status, Arlene turned post-tropical, impacting Georgia and the Carolinas as a post-tropical cyclone. Arlene caused 28 deaths and $5.6 billion in damage, most of which was in Florida. Due to its damage in Florida, the name Arlene was retired and replaced with Amber.

Tropical Storm Bret
On June 15, a non-tropical low developed into Subtropical Depression Two northeast of the Bahamas. 6 hours later, Two intensified into Subtropical Storm Bret. Bret became fully tropical on June 17 as it moved towards land. Making landfall near Georgetown, South Carolina as a weak tropical storm on June 18.

Tropical Storm Cindy
On July 16, an area of low pressure developed in the Bay of Campeche. It rapidly developed into Tropical Storm Cindy on July 17. Moving west-northwestward, Cindy acquired a peak intensity of 50 mph early on June 18 before it made landfall that afternoon in southern Mexico. Cindy caused 4 fatalities and approximately $10 million in damage, but was not retired.
