The 2027 Atlantic Hurricane Season was the most active season on record, with a total of 29 named storms forming. Out of those 29 storms, 20 became hurricanes, a new record. 10 of those hurricanes became major hurricanes (category 3 or above), also a record. Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, however, as this season proved, storms can form anytime of year. The season got off to a very early start with the formation of Tropical Storm Ana in mid April, which impacted portions of Cuba, the Bahamas and southern Florida as a weak tropical storm. In May, Tropical Storm Bill formed and quickly dissipated in the Main Development Region (MDR), rather early for a storm of its type. Hurricane Claudette briefly peaked as a weak category 1 hurricane before striking North Carolina as a strong tropical storm, causing some minor damages, mainly some flooding. In June, Tropical Storm Danny struck southwestern Louisiana as a weak tropical storm, bringing some minor damage, mainly power outages. Hurricane Elsa struck Cuba as a low end category 1 hurricane before moving to the Gulf of Mexico and striking western Florida as a tropical storm, overall causing some moderate damages to regions impacted. Tropical Storm Fred struck near the Texas/Mexico border, causing some power outages and damage to homes due to flying debris. In July, Hurricane Gina slammed Haiti, the Bahamas and Florida as an intense hurricane, striking Florida as a devastating category 4, before weakening and then making landfall in South Carolina as a tropical storm, devastating Haiti and Florida in the process, causing major loss of life and extreme damage. Hurricane Henri meandered in the eastern Atlantic peaking as a category 2. Hurricane Ida ravaged parts of Haiti and North Carolina, peaking as a category 5 hurricane. Ida ravaged those areas with severe home damage due to the very strong winds and major storm surge flooding. Tropical Depression Ten hit Cuba briefly before moving into the Gulf and dissipating. Tropical Storm Julian formed in the Caribbean and struck an already decimated Haiti, further adding on to the damage by causing major mudslides and flooding. In August, Hurricane Kate struck Belize as a category 1 hurricane, before striking northern Mexico as a tropical storm, leaving behind limited damage. Hurricane Larry struck Puerto Rico as a category 3 hurricane, before hitting Florida twice, once as a category 2 and lastly as a tropical storm, leaving behind severe damage in its path.

Hurricane Mindy casued major destruction in Jamaica, Cuba, and the southeastern United States, peaking as a category 5 hurricane. Hurricane Nicholas peaked as a category 2 hurricane in the open Atlantic, causing no damages. Tropical Storm Odette formed partly due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Felicia in the eastern Pacific over the Gulf of Mexico, striking the Florida panhandle and leaving behind limited damages.

April and May[]

The season had a very early start with Tropical Storm Ana in mid April. Ana began as a low pressure system north of Puerto Rico. Ana moved westward and became a tropical depression on April 12, northeast of the Turks and Caicos. It moved southwestward and came close to making landfall on those islands. Shortly after, the depression became a tropical storm. Ana moved northwestward for a few days before weakening back to a tropical depression and making landfall in the Florida keys, and dissipating just off the west coast of Florida on April 15

In early May, Tropical Storm Bill formed. Bill began as a rare tropical wave that moved off of Africa. After moving through Cape Verde, the wave developed into a tropical depression on May 5, well west of the islands. The depression quickly developed into a tropical storm, but was kept at 40 mph due to shear. It moved west for several days, before finally dissipating on May 8 in the middle of the sea.


In later May, the first hurricane, Hurricane Claudette, formed in the central Bahamas. Claudette started as a tropical depression on May 17 in the central Bahamas. It quickly became a tropical storm and moved northeast, and then northwest as it moved out of the Bahamas. It then moved northeast again and becoming a Category 1 hurricane, the first May hurricane in over 50 years. The storm quickly weakened after that, however, and eventually made landfall in North Carolina, and on May 22, dissipated inland.

June and July[]

In early June, Tropical Storm Danny formed in the Gulf of Mexico. Danny began as a tropical depression that formed on the first official day of hurricane season, June 1, west of the Florida Keys. It moved northwest and strengthened into a tropical storm a peaked at 45 mph, and weakened slightly before making landfall in western Louisiana, and dissipating inland on June 5, causing minimal damages.

A few weeks later, Hurricane Elsa struck Cuba. Elsa began as a tropical depression in the western Caribbean on June 14 and moved west, before turning south, then east and becoming a tropical storm. The storm moved east for a few days before turning north and nearly striking the Grand Cayman as it approached Cuba. As it neared Cuba, Elsa became a hurricane before striking western Cuba. It weakened back to a tropical storm over Cuba, and then moved off and striking the western Florida Keys and then striking the Tampa Bay area as a weak tropical storm and dissipating inland on June 21.

In late June, Tropical Storm Fred struck Mexico and Texas. Fred began as a tropical depression near the Yucatan Peninsula on June 29, and made landfall several hours later. It emerged into the Gulf of Mexico, and became a tropical storm. A few days later, Fred made landfall in southern Texas at a 60 mph peak. Fred quickly began weakening inland, and dissipated on July 2

Early in July, Hurricane Gina thrashed Florida as a Category 4 hurricane. Gina began as a tropical storm east of the Lesser Antilles, and eventually crossed into the Caribbean Sea as a category 1 hurricane. A few days later, Gina made its first landfall in Haiti as a strong category 2 hurricane, causing severe damages to the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Gina then moved off of Haiti as a category 1 hurricane, and began to strike several islands in the Bahamas, becoming stronger along the way, becoming a category 3 hurricane before landfall in the Grand Bahama. It then turned south and hit the Florida Keys as a category 4 hurricane and then turned into mainland Florida, crossing the state causing severe and catastrophic damage, before crossing back into the Atlantic as a tropical storm. Gina then turned north and struck South Carolina as a moderate tropical storm, eventually dissipating inland in the United States.

Several days into July, Hurricane Henri spun out to sea. Henri began as a tropical wave that moved off of Africa and quickly became a tropical depression in the Cabo Verde Islands. It moved out of the islands and into the open Atlantic Ocean, where it meandered for several days, peaking as a category 2 hurricane before weakening and eventually becoming post tropical in the open Atlantic 

Later that month, Hurricane Ida ravaged the Caribbean and the eastern coast of the United States, peaking as a deadly category 5 hurricane. Ida began as a tropical wave that moved off of Africa and meandered in the ocean for just a few days before becoming a tropical depression well off the Lesser Antilles. It quickly became a tropical storm and moved west for a few days before becoming a category 1 hurricane, and then crossing into the Caribbean Sea. Ida became more intense as it curved northwest and hit the island of Hispaniola as a major category 3 hurricane, causing major death and destruction. Ida weakened to a category 1 hurricane as it moved off the island and into the Bahamas. In the Bahamas, it began to intensify quickly, becoming a category 4 hurricane and causing severe damage before moving out of the archipelago. Soon after moving out of the Bahamas, Ida became a category 5 hurricane, the most intense category on the scale. Ida peaked and then turned northeast. It caused massive evacuations in North Carolina as meteorologists predicted a major landfall there. This came true, as Ida made its final landfall as a category 4 hurricane in North Carolina, causing extreme damage. Ida began to quickly weaken as it moved quickly throughout the eastern seaboard, eventually becoming extratropical in New Jersey

As Ida was just beginning, Tropical Depression Ten took a quick journey through Cuba and the Gulf of Mexico. Ten began as a low pressure system that moved off the coast of Central America. Eventually, the system became a tropical depression south of Cuba, quickly landfalled in Cuba, and moved into the Gulf of Mexico, where heavy wind shear ripped the system to shreds. 

In late July, Tropical Storm Julian formed and would go on to strike Haiti as a moderate tropical storm. Julian began as a tropical depression just east of the Lesser Antilles. It quickly became a tropical storm and moved into the Caribbean. It turned northwest and moved towards Haiti, which had been ravaged by Ida just weeks earlier. This caused panic in the nation. Julian eventually mad landfall as a disorganized tropical storm that quickly weakened as it traveled over Haiti, moving back out into sea a tropical depression. Julian then collapsed into a remnant low, as its center had been heavily disrupted. 

August[]

In early August, Hurricane Kate struck Belize and Mexico, peaking as a Category 1 hurricane. Kate started as a cluster of thunderstorms over South America that eventually moved into the Caribbean. It eventually organized into a tropical depression and quickly became a tropical storm while moving west. Kate continued to move in a west northwest direction for several days, eventually intensifying into a category 1 hurricane on its approach to Belize. Shortly afterwards, Kate struck northern Belize at peak intensity, causing wind damage and a few deaths, as well as storm surge flooding. Kate then crossed the Yucatán Peninsula, weakening to a tropical storm and entering the Bay of Campeche, where it eventually struck northern Mexico as a tropical storm before it quickly dissolved over the mountainous terrain of the country. 

Also early on in August, Hurricane Larry ravaged Puerto Rico as a major hurricane before crossing the Bahamas and striking Florida twice. Larry began as a tropical wave off of Africa that developed into a tropical storm just east of the Lesser Antilles. It eventually crossed into Caribbean Sea as a hurricane. Larry then turned northwest and began to rapidly intensify, before striking Puerto Rico as a high end category 3 hurricane with winds of 125 mph, causing major damage and death on the island, ravaged by flooding and wind damage. Larry then weakened to a category 2 hurricane as it entered open waters. It the entered the Bahamas as a category 1 hurricane, crossing through the islands, causing heavy rains and severe winds along the way on its course to Florida. Larry became a category 2 again during this time, and struck near Miami as a 110 mph storm, causing major power outages to city as well as storm surge flooding close to coasts. Major flooding occurred as well. Larry then crossed into the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm where it curved nearly due north and struck the Florida Panhandle as a moderate tropical storm, causing minimal damage before becoming post tropical in Georgia 

In mid August, Hurricane Mindy ravaged the Caribbean and Gulf coasts, peaking as a powerful category 5 hurricane. Mindy began as a tropical wave that moved off of Africa, and about halfway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles, became a tropical depression. Eventually the depression became a tropical storm and continued moving west in the open Atlantic. Mindy continued to move west for a few days before becoming a category 1 hurricane and making a northwest turn before eventually curving back southwest and entering the Caribbean Sea, which had very favorable conditions for a devastating hurricane. After entering the Caribbean, Mindy became a category 2 hurricane before briefly becoming a category 1 again, and then within a day strengthening to a category 3 major hurricane. After this, Mindy turned more northwestward, and became a category 4 hurricane as it began to approach Jamaica. Then, while located just south of Jamaica, Mindy became a category 5 hurricane, and its eyewall, packing 175 mph winds, slammed Jamaica and caused extreme damage before the storm eventually continued to move northwest and approached Cuba. As it did so, Mindy eventually weakened to a strong category 4. However, Cuba would still get slammed with winds of over 150 mph when it made landfall south of Havana, causing severe damage as it crossed into the Gulf of Mexico. Mindy then weakened back into a category 2 as it entered the Gulf. Mindy turned north and began to bare down on the Alabama coast. Mindy reintensified into a category 3 before making landfall directly in Mobile Bay, Alabama, causing significant damage to the city. Mindy moves inland and eventually became extratropical over Kentucky

Around the same time Mindy formed, Hurricane Nicholas spun out in the eastern Atlantic, peaking as a category 2 hurricane. Nicholas began as a tropical wave off the coast of Africa, that quickly became a tropical depression south of the Cabo Verde islands. The depression moved west for a short time before becoming a tropical storm. Nicholas continued to move west for a few days before becoming a hurricane and beginning a northwest turn. Shortly after this, Nicholas turned almost due north, and became a category 2 hurricane. After this, it turned northeast, and began to weaken for a few days, before eventually weakening to a tropical storm and then becoming extratropical well southwest of the Azores.

In late August, Tropical Storm Odette would strike Florida at near hurricane strength. Odette began as Tropical Storm Felicia in the Eastern Pacific basin. Felicia hit Mexico as a weak tropical storm, combined with another system over Mexico, and re-emerged into the Gulf of Mexico, where it developed into a tropical depression. The depression moved East-North-East for a couple of days before becoming a tropical storm and moving in a more northeasterly direction and began to strengthen. Eventually Odette hit Florida at near hurricane intensity, causing moderate damage and heavy rains. Odette continued inland, dumping several inches of rain across the eastern United States, before eventually dissipating in Ohio 

September[]

In early September, Hurricane Peter slammed areas of Central America and Mexico, peaking as a category 4 hurricane. Peter began as a tropical wave that emerged off of Africa in late August. The wave moved across the Atlantic for several days before entering the Caribbean Sea and forming into a tropical depression. It moved west for a day or so before becoming a tropical storm. Peter moved west for a short time before making an odd shift to the southwest and strengthening into a hurricane. Peter remained as a category 1 for a few days before strengthening to a category 2 hurricane as it approached Honduras, eventually striking the country at that strength, causing some heavy damage, before weakening to a weak hurricane moving back into the ocean. After Peter moved back into the ocean, it rapidly intensified into a category 4 hurricane, and made a destructive landfall on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, causing extreme destruction across that region, with several casualties as a result. Peter then moved into the Bay of Campeche as a weakened category 1 hurricane. In a few days, Peter made landfall in mainland Mexico as a weak hurricane, causing moderate damage, before quickly dissolving over mountainous terrain. 

Also in early September, Tropical Depression Eighteen meandered in the Atlantic for a few days before falling apart. Eighteen began as a tropical wave that moved off Africa, and almost immediately developed due west of the Cabo Verde Islands. The depression moved west for a few days before a sudden burst in wind shear tore the weak system apart.

In mid September, Hurricane Rose destroyed regions of the Caribbean and the United States Gulf and East coasts, peaking as one of the strongest storms in Atlantic Hurricane history. Rose began as a tropical wave that moved off of Africa and quickly developed into a tropical depression just west of the Cabo Verde Islands. It quickly became a tropical storm and continued to move west, strengthening majorly in the process. As Rose crossed into the Caribbean Sea, it began a powerful category 4 hurricane. Rose then moved southwest and weakened into a category 3 hurricane. After moving west for a few more days, Rose turned northwest and began to hone in on Jamaica. Rose strengthened into a category 4 hurricane again before slamming Jamaica, causing catastrophic damage, due to areas being already weakened by Hurricane Mindy only a month earlier. Rose then moved off the island as a category 3 hurricane, and began a path towards the Yucatán Channel. Rose became a category 4 hurricane again, then turned northwest and moved through the Yucatán Channel and into the Gulf of Mexico, where it then became an extremely powerful category 5 hurricane. Rose continued northwest, then slowed down a lot, where it then peaked with winds of 195 mph, and then turned northeast towards Florida. A few days later, Rose made a cataclysmic landfall as a category 5 hurricane just north of Tampa Florida, where it caused unimaginable damage, including more than 11 feet of water flooding Tampa Bay, and 175 mph winds ripping homes to shreds. Rose continued its path of havoc through Florida, and then moved off the state as a category 3 hurricane. It curved more northeast, holding steady before it turned northwest again, weakened to a category 2 and the a category 1, and made a rare landfall in New Jersey. Rose then weakened to a tropical storm and moved north and then east, passing over New York City and Long Island, before moving into the sea and finally becoming extratropical.

Ahead of Rose, Hurricane Sam spun through the Bahamas as a major hurricane. As with most storms, Sam began as a tropical wave that moved off of Africa. The wave moved westward for a few days before developing into a tropical storm just east of the Lesser Antilles. Sam moved west northwest for a few days as a tropical storm before moving northwest and becoming a hurricane. Sam moved just west of Puerto Rico, with its eyewall moving onshore and caused some moderate damage. After Sam passed Puerto Rico, it made a more westwardly turn and quickly became a major hurricane. Sam passed through the eastern Bahamas, reeking major havoc in some certain islands. Sam then curved northeast and weakened while moving out of the islands. Sam then meandered in a northerly direction for the next few days, before becoming extratropical. 


Later in September, short lived Tropical Storm Teresa hit Texas, causing some slight disruption. Teresa began as a low pressure system that developed and moved off of Mexico. The system moved northwest in the western Gulf of Mexico before developing into a tropical depression. Shortly afterwards, Teresa became a tropical storm as it began moving towards Texas. It peaked just before making landfall in the Houston area, causing some heavy rains and power outages. Teresa then began to move north across the state, before eventually turning extratropical near the Oklahoma border. 

In late September into early October, Hurricane Victor struck the southern Florida and southern Louisiana coastlines. Victor began as a tropical wave that moved off of Africa and eventually made its way north of Puerto Rico and developed into a tropical storm. Victor went through the Bahamas as a tropical storm before becoming a low end category 1 hurricane a striking southern Florida, causing some moderate damage. It weakened back into a tropical storm and moved into the Gulf of Mexico. As it moved southwest, it struggled to gain strength until it began to turn north towards Louisiana, where it became a category 1 hurricane again, and just before landfall in the state, Victor peaked as a category 2 hurricane before striking the state, causing some moderate to severe damage, including major flooding. Victor began to weaken as it made its way north through the United States, eventually becoming extratropical in Kentucky.

October[]

In early October, Hurricane Wanda devastated Belize and Mexico, as well as the Florida Panhandle as a category 5 hurricane. Wanda began as a tropical wave that moved off of Africa in early October, that eventually developed into a tropical depression in the central MDR. It became a tropical storm shortly after and eventually hurricane before striking the Windward Islands as a strong Category 1 hurricane. Wanda then entered the Carribean, and continued to move north-northwest. While located south of the Dominican Republic, Wanda became a major hurricane. It then weakened back to a category 2 for a brief time before intensifying again, where it then began to barell for the Yucatan Peninsula. Wanda eventually intensified into a category 5 hurricane, the 4th one of the year, tying a record set by the 2005 season. Wanda then slammed northern Belize with winds of 175 mph, which was just a little lower than Wanda's peak of 180 mph. The devastation in Belize was unbelievable and thousands of lives were lost as well as over 10 billion in damages. Wanda tore through the Yucatan, never losing major hurricane status as it crossed Mexico, resulting in even more devastation and loss of life. It then entered the Gulf of Mexico as a category 3 hurricane, where it then turned northeast and became a category 4 once again, and began to head for the Florida coast. Wanda weakened down to a category 3, and then struck the western Panhandle of Florida, casuing extreme damage. The storm then began to move across the southeastern United States, dumping heavy rain in the process. Wanda then weakened to a tropical depression over southern Virginia, where it then moved off that coastline. It then turned northeast and once again became a tropical storm, striking Cape Cod with winds of 50 mph. Just a few hours later, Wanda became extratropical and moved onshore Maine, finally ending 2 weeks of havoc.

Later on in the month, Hurricane Alpha brushed Bermuda as a major hurricane, causing major damages to the small island. Alpha began as a disturbed area of weather that moved off of South America and developed into a tropical depression well east of Trinidad and Tobago. Alpha quickly became a tropical storm and started to move northwest. However, Alpha then made a curve towards the northeast. Alpha then became a hurricane before curving back west and becoming a category 2. The storm then moved west for several days, eventualy becoming a category 4 hurricane. Alpha then moved northwest and then north northwest, which set it on course to come very close to or strike the tiny island of Bermuda. Alpha weakened back to a category 3 hurricane, and then moved north northwest for several days. When it got just west of Bermuda, it curved northeast, and the eyewall came onshore Bermuda. This caused major destruction across the island, including severe storm surge flooding. Following this curve, Alpha weakened to a category 2 hurricane and then sped of towards the east northeast, eventually weakening to a category 1 hurricane and becoming extratropical well northeast of Bermuda.


In mid-October, Hurricane Beta impacted the Carribean and the eastern seaboard of the United States, peaking as a category 2 hurricane. A tropical area of low pressure moved off of Panama and into the southwestern Caribbean Sea. The system quickly developed into a tropical storm and began to move north northeast towards Jamaica. The storm then hit Jamaica as a moderate tropical storm and then shortly after struck Cuba as a slightly weaker tropical storm. Beta then turned more north and moved into the Bahamas, where it remained as a tropical storm, causing some damage, but thankfully limited due a rather small windfield it was limited. Once Beta moved out of the Bahamas, it strengthened into a hurricane, and began to aim for North Carolina. Beta eventually struck southern North Carolina at its peak intensity of category 2, casuing moderate to severe damage across the region. Beta continued to move north, becoming a flood event as it weakened over North Carolina and Virginia. Beta then turned northeast over Maryland, weakened to a tropical depression and finally becoming extratropical over New Jersey.


In late October, Hurricane Gamma moved harmlessly across the central Atlantic. Gamma began as a low pressure near the Lesser Antilles that eventually developed into a subtropical depression and began to move northeast. Gamma then became a subtropical storm. Soon, it transitioned into a tropical storm. Gamma then began to move more east, eventually intensifying into a category 1 hurricane. Gamma peaked, and then began to move northeast again, weakened into a tropical storm. Shortly after, it became extratropical and then sped off.

November[]

In mid-November, Tropical Storm Delta struck Florida and South Carolina as a moderate tropical storm. Delta began as a low pressure system that moved off of the Yucatan Peninsula that quickly became a tropical depression and began to move northeast. It then stregthened into a tropical storm and shortly after made landfall just south of Tampa Bay, casuing some slight damage, mainly power outages and damaged some trees. Delta then moved off of Florida and began to curve towards the north and strengthen. Eventually, Delta curved northwest and made landfall in South Carolina as a moderate tropical storm, dumping heavy rains and causing a moderate flooding event as it continued to move inland. Eventually, Delta weakened into a tropical depression and shortly after got absorbed by a cold front.


In late November, Hurricane Epsilon ravaged Cuba and the United States, in particular New England. Epsilon began as a late season tropical wave that moved off of Africa. Eventually the wave moved into the eastern Caribbean and became a tropical storm. It began to move in a generally westward direction, curving a bit. Well south of Peurto Rico, Epsilon became a hurricane. Continuing west, Epsilon soon after became a category 2 south of Hispanolia. While located south of Haiti, Epsilon became a major hurricane, and then sharply curved northwest and became a category 4 hurricane. Epsilon curved north-northeast and past just east of Jamaica, where some outer bands produced hurricane force winds and caused some severe damage across the eastern half of the island. Just 12 hours before landfall, Epsilon became a category 5 hurricane, a record 5th of the year. Epsilon then slammed into extreme eastern Cuba, casuing extreme damage. Entire buildings were leveled and massive human casualties ensued. It then moved off into the southeastern Bahamas as a category 4 hurricane, casuing even more devastation as several islands exprienced major storm surge flooding. After moving out of the Bahamas, Epsilon held on to category 4 status for several days. Epsilon moved slightly northwest and then curved back north northeast, putting it on direct course for Long  Island. Epsilon weakened to a category 3 while located well off the coast of Virginia, and roughly a day later made landfall in eastern Long Island as a major hurricane. New York City was in the western eyewall, which caused major damages to America's biggest city, mainly shattered glass and storm surge flooding. It then made a second landfall shortly afterwards in Connecticut, casuing a major storm surge flooding event, which caused extreme damage. Epsilon continued to move through New England, casuing some flooding and moderate wind damage, and then moved into Canada and became extratropical. 


Later, Hurricane Zeta struck Georgia as a category 1 hurricane. Zeta began as a tropical wave that moved into the Bahamas and became a tropical depression. Shortly after, it became a tropical storm and moved through the eastern Bahamas, dumping heavy rains and caused some wind damage, mainly power outages. Zeta then moved into the northern Bahamas and became a hurricane. As Zeta, continued northwest, it strengthened some, bringing heavy rains to northeastern Florida, before making an unusual landfall in Georgia, a location that rarely has direct landfalls. Very shortly after, Zeta weakened to a tropical storm and turned north. Zeta delivered heavy rains in the region, causing a moderate flooding event as it moved across the southeastern United States. It also caused major power outages across the region. Zeta became a tropical depression over Kentucky and then finally got absorbed by a cold front over Pennsylvania. 

December and January[]

In early December, Tropical Storm Eta moved across the northeastern Atlantic harmlessly. Eta began as an extratropical system that was moving across the Atlantic. While located well southwest of the Azores, the system developed into a subtropical depression and began to move northeast, and in about a day strengthened into a subtropical storm. Eta then began to curve north, and then northwest, transitioning into a tropical system. Eta then curved southwest and then south, then southeast, completeing its loop. Eta then peaked, and turned east. Eta then began to weaken over cold water and turned northeast, and then once again became extratropical.


In late December and early January, Hurricane Theta impacted regions of the Caribbean and the southern United States. Theta began as a low pressure that formed over Venezula. The system moved off of the country and into the southern Caribbean. After turning east, the system developed into a tropical depression on Christmas. The depression turned northeast, and became a tropical storm, setting a record for named storms in a season. Theta then made landfall in Guadeloupe, causing some power outages. Theta then moved off the island and then sharply turned northwest. After a couple of days, Theta became a hurricane north of Puerto Rico. Shortly after, Theta fell apart due to wind shear and dissipated well east of the Bahamas. Theta's remnants then moved over the Bahamas and then Florida over the New Years holidays, ruining fireworks shows across the state. Theta's remnants then moved into the Gulf and redeveloped into a tropical depression over the central Gulf. It then curved northwest and then north, becoming a tropical storm. Theta made landfall in southeastern Louisiana shortly after as a weak tropical storm, causing some minor disruptions and some flooding along with a small tornado outbreak across the southern United states as it moved northwards, before dissipating over northern Alabama

Storms[]

Tropical Storm Ana[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Isaac Aug 26 2012 1440Z Ana 2027 Brick
DurationApril 12 – April 15
Peak intensity45 mph (75 km/h) (1-min) 1007 mbar (hPa)


A well defined low pressure system formed east of the Bahamas on April 9. Due to the time of year and no model support, the NHC initially took no note of the system. However, the next day, a few models began to form the system into a tropical system, and the NHC gave the system a 10% chance of developing over the next 2 days as it continued west towards Florida. The low pressure system was designated 90L east of the southern Bahamas, as the system began to quickly take on tropical characteristics and more models began to develop the system. Late on April 11, the NHC designated the system Potential Tropical Cyclone One and issued tropical storm warnings for the southern Bahamas as well as a tropical storm watch for southern Florida as the system was rapidly developing. On April 12, NOAA reconnaissance aircraft discovered a closed circulation in One, upgrading it into Tropical Depression One just northeast of the Turks and Caicos. As One passed less than 50 miles north of those islands, it brought some thunderstorms and some gusty winds, causing mainly tree damage and very isolated power outages. One was benefiting from somewhat warmer than average waters and a limited amount of shear. It continued to organize throughout the day. Early on April 13, recon found One to have winds of 35kt, upgrading it to Tropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the season.

Ana continued west northwest, passing over tiny islands, causing limited damages as it did so. The system brought some rains to northern Cuba. Late on April 13, Ana peaked with winds of 40kt (45 mph) and a minimum pressure of 1007 millibars, located well southeast of Andros Island. Ana began to weaken as it passed south of the island that night and into the morning of April 14. Ana brought very heavy rain to the island, with some wind gusts reaching 45kts, causing some tree branches to snap, as well as scattered power outages on the island as rain bands impacted the island for several hours. In northern Cuba, heavy rains caused slight disruptions in normal life. After Ana passed south of the island, it turned northwest and began to head for Florida. However, as it did so, Ana also ran into a pocket of stronger shear, as well as cooler waters. Early on April 14, Ana weakened into a tropical depression as it neared the Florida Keys, causing the NHC the cancel the previously issued Tropical Storm Warnings. At around 5:00 PM EDT on April 14, Tropical Depression Ana made landfall near Tavernier, Florida, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and a pressure of 1010 millibars. The impacts of Ana were very limited, mainly just heavy rains in the Florida Keys and parts of southern Florida. Several tornado warnings were issued in south Florida, and at least 12 were confirmed, but none above EF1 intensity. Heavy rains caused street flooding, causing severe traffic issues throughout the day. Wind gusts of up to 40 mph caused few power outages and some tree limb damage. Ana then began to be sheared apart as it moved away from the Keys and entered the Gulf of Mexico. Early on April 15, Ana was declared to be a remnant low over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Ana was a very rare occurrence for April, practically unprecedented as a landfalling April tropical cyclone. Overall, Ana caused 12 million in damages and 1 death. Ana will be used again in 2033.

Tropical Storm Bill[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Ana aug 12 2009 1540Z Bill 2027 Brick
DurationMay 5 – May 8
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (1-min) 1008 hPa (mbar)

On May 3, an unusually rare strong tropical wave emerged off the coast of Africa. As it was early May, the NHC did not mention the storm when it moved off the African coast, expecting it to dissipate shortly. The wave moved through the Cabo Verde Islands, causing heavy rain that led to traffic disturbances and street flooding. The wave then moved away from those islands, and on May 4 began to show signs of some organization against all odds. As a result, the NHC put the system on their Tropical Weather Outlook (TWO), giving it a 10% chance to form over the next 5 days. However, on the night of May 4, the convection in system rapidly bursted, and the storm was designated Invest 91L.

Entering the morning hours May 5, 91L continued to organize, and the NHC updated development chances to a 70% chance of development. An ASCAT pass over the system revealed a well defined circulation, and late on May 5, the wave was upgraded to Tropical Depression Two well west of the Cabo Verde Islands, in the Main Development Region (MDR), an extremely rare and nearly unprecedented event. NHC forecasts called for the system to be ripped apart by shear in 24 hours. However, Two persisted and on May 6, Two was upgraded to Tropical Storm Bill, the second named storm of the season and the earliest second named storm in Atlantic hurricane history, beating Tropical Storm Two of 1887 by 2 weeks. Bill continued to move in a generally westward direction, peaking later on May 6 with winds of 40 mph and 1008 mbars. On May 7, satellite images revealed that Bills center was exposed on its left side, due to strong shear beginning to take its toll on its storm. Throughout the day on May 7, Bills appearance on satellite continued to degrade, and Bill was downgraded to a tropical depression later that night. Bill continued to be ripped apart by shear and entered cold waters. Early on May 8, Bills center was no longer defined, and was declared a remnant low by the NHC. Bill caused no damages or deaths, and will be used again in 2033

Hurricane Claudette[]

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
Arthur Jul 2 2014 1535Z Claudette 2027 Brick
DurationMay 17 – May 22

On May 14, an area of low pressure formed in the southeastern Bahamas. It began to move northwest slowly, causing flash flooding as it dropped inches of rain on the Bahamas. On that same the day, the NHC marked the system for a low chance of development. It began to develop more tropical characteristics on May 15, causing the NHC to up the chances to high as it also began to gain more model support. Early on May 16, as the storm neared the central Bahamas, the NHC began to issue advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Three, as the issuance of tropical storm warnings was necessary. Overnight, Three began to develop more rapidly and at 11:00 AM EDT on May 17, the NHC upgraded the system to Tropical Depression Three, located over the central Bahamas.

Three turned and was moving very slowly northeast. A few hours later, reconnaissance aircraft discovered that Three had the necessary winds to be upgraded to a tropical storm. At about 2:00 PM EDT, the NHC upgraded Three to Tropical Storm Claudette, the earliest third named storm in the history of storm tracking. Claudette was dropping very heavy rains in the central Bahamas, and due to its slow movement, major flash flooding was occurring on the islands. Several cars were washed away and some buildings were damaged as a result. Early on May 18, Claudette turned to the northwest over the northern Bahamas, and finally began to pick up speed as it moved away from the Bahamas. It continued to strengthen throughout the day, more than expected. The NHC began to forecast a weak hurricane on May 18, an especially rare event for a May tropical cyclone. However, on May 19, the storm turned northeast again and the forecasts verified, and the storm was upgraded to Hurricane Claudette. Later that day, Claudette peaked with 75 mph and a pressure of 989 millibars, a very minimal hurricane. In the morning of May 20, Claudette dropped below hurricane status, turned north, and began to slow down again.

Preparations began in southern North Carolina as Claudette was expected to make landfall as a strong tropical storm. Some evacuations began near coastal areas due to the fear of storm surge. Claudettes rain bands began to move in the late hours of May 20, causing some heavy rain as well as a couple of weak tornadoes. An EF1 tornado tore through areas just northeast of Wilmington, causing roof and window damages throughout the area. Severe weather continued throughout the night, and mid morning on May 21, Claudette made landfall about 100 miles to the east of Wilmington, North Carolina as a 65 mph tropical storm. Strong winds near the center caused major tree damage, and some roof damages to homes. A storm surge of 5 feet caused some flood damages to homes close to the coast. As it trekked inland, it began to get weaker and became a rain threat. Flash flooding became a problem for a span of several hours as it slowly moved inland. That evening, Claudette moved northeast and began to speed up significantly. As it sped northeast, a few tornadoes dropped as it moved into Virginia as a weak tropical storm, and early on May 22, Claudette weakened to a tropical depression over the Chesapeake Bay. A few hours later, Claudette dissipated over New Jersey. Its remnants caused some isolated flash flooding in New England.

Claudette caused $200 million in damages and killed 3 people.

In late May, the NHC began to monitor a tropical area of low pressure in the central Bahamas. Models were generally agreeing the storm would move west and become a tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, the system was labeled Invest 93-L and the NHC gave it a medium chance of development on May 30. On May 31, the system was given a high chance of development and began to move across southern Florida. The system delivered heavy tropical downpours to the region as it slowly moved across the state, causing flash flooding that was responsible for the washing away of 3 bridges and 11 flooded homes. The system moved into the moderately favorable conditions of the Gulf of Mexico. Reconnaissance aircraft flew into the system early on June 1, and at 11:00 AM EDT that day, the NHC upgraded the system to Tropical Depression Four. Four was located about 150 miles west of Key West, Florida. Four began to slowly move to the west-northwest, not strengthening. It was being affected by some wind shear, which was not allowing it to get stronger. About 24 hours after its formation, a reconnaissance aircraft discovered winds of 40 mph in the system, and the NHC upgraded it to Tropical Storm Danny, the fourth named storm of the season and the earliest fourth named storm in recorded history.

As the storm moved northwest, it began to cause rip currents and posed a major risk to beach vacationers across the Gulf, as the summer was just beginning. Late on June 2, Tropical Storm Warnings were issued from the central Louisiana coast to the Sabine Pass. On June 3, Danny reached its peak of 45 mph winds and a 1002 millibar pressure. Shear limited the system from becoming much stronger. Early on June 4, rainbands began to move onshore, and it’s widespread bands triggered the issuance of a tornado watch for most of southeastern Louisiana, including Baton Rouge. An EF2 tornado spawned north of Denham Springs, a town in Livingston Parish just east of Baton Rouge. Thankfully, it remained in rural areas, only causing major tree damage. At about 7:55 PM CDT, Danny made landfall just south and east of Lake Charles, Louisiana as a weak tropical storm. The primary effect of the storm was flash flooding, which damaged about 25 homes in the region, and tornadoes, of which about 20 of them spawned. No tornado was stronger than EF2 and the only ones to impact populated areas were EF0s. An EF0 tornado in Lafayette, Louisiana blew out some windows and caused a tree to collapse on a house. Thankfully, no one was home. As Danny moved inland, it quickly weakened into a tropical depression. It turned north, and then northeast as it traveled trough north Louisiana, with very limited impact due to lack of energy. On June 5, Danny finally became post tropical near the border of Louisiana and Arkansas.

Danny caused $10 million dollars in damages and no deaths. It will be used again in 2033.

Hurricane Elsa[]

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
Cuba storm Elsa 2027 Brick
DurationJune 14 – June 19
Peak intensity80 mph (130 km/h) (1-min) 983 mbar (hPa)

Early in June, a gyre developed over Central America. On June 10, the NHC noted that a low pressure system would interact with the system and likely produce a tropical wave, noting the slight chance for tropical development. On June 11, more models began to pick up on the system, and the NHC upped the potential for development to medium. On June 12, the low pressure system interacted with the gyre and produced a tropical wave over northern Honduras. Most models now developed the system within the next 2 days, and it was designated Invest 95-L and the NHC gave the system a high chance of development. 95-L moved off the coast of Honduras on June 13, but not before dropping inches of rain which led to flash flooding in local areas. On June 14, a NOAA reconnaissance aircraft was flown out to investigate the system as it was rapidly organizing. The aircraft was able to locate a fully closed center, as well as winds of 35 mph. At around 5:00 PM EDT on June 14, the NHC upgraded 95-L to Tropical Depression Five, and large cone of uncertainty was issued along with it.

Without much steering, the storm initially meandered slowly westward, and tropical storm watches were issued for Belize and Mexico in case the storm continued that direction. However early on June 15, the storm dived southwest, and the watches were discontinued. Shortly afterwards, Five was upgraded to Tropical Storm Elsa, the 5th named storm of the season. Elsa then turned and started moving in a south-southeast direction. The storm continued to move very slowly in this direction, and after multiple reconnaissance aircraft flights models were able to get a clearer picture of the track of Elsa. Elsa was slowly intensifying and on June 16, tropical storm watches were issued for most of western Cuba, as well as a tropical storm warning for the Grand Cayman. That same day, Elsa curved northeast. The next day, Elsa passed to the west of Grand Cayman. The outer bands of the storm brought winds of up to 65 mph to the area, causing mostly tree damage, as well as flooding as heavy downpours hit the island. However, overall impacts weren't severe. Models began to indicate that Elsa could possibly strengthen into a category 1 hurricane before making landfall in Cuba, and Hurricane Warnings were issued in place of tropical storm warnings, and tropical storm warnings were also issued for the Florida Keys and the southern half of the western coast of the Florida peninsula. Late on June 17, as Elsa neared the Cuban coast, reconnaissance aircraft found winds of 76 mph, prompting the NHC to upgrade Elsa to Hurricane Elsa, the second hurricane of the season and a rare June hurricane.

Just a few hours later, Elsa made landfall at peak intensity with winds of 80 mph and a pressure of 983 mbar just south of Gaines, Cuba. Hurricane force winds battered the area, cutting power to thousands of people and in some cases, gusts of up to 100 mph ripped roofs off of buildings and broke windows. A 6 foot storm surge flooded coastal towns and heavy rains led to flash flooding low lying areas. However, Elsa did not stay over Cuba for long, and quickly weakened to a tropical storm before moving into the Gulf of Mexico. The storms center was significantly disrupted by landfall on Cuba, and as it passed near Key West, most impacts were limited to heavy downpours and some gusty winds. A water spout also passed very close to Key West, prompting a rare tornado warning for the area. The disorganized storm pushed storms onto the Florida Peninsula, prompting a tornado watch and a few tornadoes did spawn throughout June 18, but none exceeded EF0 strength and damage was very minor. On June 19, a weakened Elsa made landfall south of Tampa Bay as a tropical storm with winds of 50 mph. Most impacts were minor, with strong wind gusts blowing trees into roads, and heavy rain flooding urban roads, causing major traffic delays in Tampa. The storm quickly weakened inland, and storms began to diminish. A few more tornadoes spawned, but late on June 19, Elsa opened up into a remnant low and moved back into the Atlantic. The remnants were marked for a slight chance of redevelopment, but the storm moved inland North Carolina.

Elsa caused $450 million dollars and damages and 7 deaths. The name was not retired and will return in 2033.
