1986 Hypothetical Atlantic hurricane season

The 1986 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average season that produced 11 tropical cyclones, of which 8 became named storms and 4 became hurricanes. No major hurricanes formed that year, the first time since 1981. The season's strongest storm, Frances, did not even affect land over its long lifespan.

Tropical Storm Allen
Early on June 11th, a tropical depression formed just north of Cuba and began to track northward. It gradually strengthened as the NHC began to issue its first advisories on the system, and based on defined circulation and wind speeds recorded at 40 miles per hour, the NHC upgraded the depression to Tropical Storm Allen just before the next day. Allen followed the Gulf Stream northward, bringing some showers to the east coast, and scattered thunderstorms in northern Florida. Although no damage or fatalities were reported, the coast guard performed at least 18 rescues along the United States east coast due to dangerous rip currents Allen was creating.

Unusually, the warm waters of the Gulf Stream did not feed much moisture into Allen, and the storm did not strengthen significantly, peaking with winds of only 50 miles per hour and a minimum pressure of 1003 mbar. By June 13th, Allen did not have enough moisture and convection to sustain tropical storm-force winds, and it began to quickly weaken, being downgraded to nothing more than a tropical depression at 12:00 UTC. While located 300 miles off the coast of North Carolina, Allen began to weaken even further, and it was declared a remnant low on June 14th as its remnants drifted northeast and fell apart over the North Atlantic.

Tropical Depression Two
A tropical depression formed from a trough of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico on June 29th. As it drifted west-northwestwards, it struggled to maintain intensity, and could not strengthen into a named tropical storm before it moved ashore in Texas the next day. A lack of moisture and presence of dry air over the Texas coast caused the depression to rapidly weaken, and it had already dissipated by that night. Not much is known about this system due to a lack of data from archives.
