Hurricane Noah (2050)

Hurricane Noah was the westernmost fully tropical Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record. Forming from Hurricane Dorian in 2049, the northeastward into the Northeastern Atlantic and as expected rapidly intensified into a category 5 hurricane.

Meteorological History
On July 28, an area of showers and thunderstorms developed in southern Texas and the Gulf of Mexico which began to track northeastward. On August 2, the low pressure developed into Subtropical Storm Noah on the coast of Louisiana and New Orleans. Noah then became fully tropical 12 hours later, and a moderate eye had rapidly developed in the system. Due to an very extremely positive Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), North Atlantic water temperatures were 100 degrees Fahrenheit. These warm waters, in addition to virtually nonexistent wind shear, allowed Noah to very rapidly intensify at an expected northern latitude. Just 12 hours after being classified as a Subtropical Storm, Noah intensified into a very strong category 1 hurricane. 8 hours after intensifying into a hurricane, Noah had reached category 3 major hurricane status. At this point, most models expected Noah to rapidly strengthen. As expected, Noah continued to intensify, and early on August 3, Dorian attained category 5 hurricane status with 300 mph winds. This made Noah the westernmost Atlantic Category 5 hurricane. On August 8, it hit Florida. Next on August 12, it merged with Hurricane Dorian to create Noah-Dorian in Georgia. On August 17, it hit almost all of South Carolina and on the 18th, it hit North Carolina. Next on August 20th it hit Virginia, August 21st all of District of Columbia most of populated Maryland on the 22nd, and all of Delaware on the 23rd. On the 24th it hit all of New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, and southern New York on the 26th, while Hurricane Dorian dissipated, all of Connecticut and Rhode Island on the 27th, Boston and Massachusetts on the 28th, slightly striking land in New Hampshire and Maine on the 29th, Nova Scotia on September 1st, and finally Newfoundland & Labrador on the 2nd where it suddenly dissipated rapidly.
