Tropical Depression One

Tropical Depression One TD
Duration May 25June 1, 1987
Intensity 35 mph (55 km/h), Pressure unknown

A low-pressure area was researched by a Reconnissance Aircraft and declared it the first tropical depression of the year on Monday, May 25, one week before the official season began. The depression was 350 nautical miles from the east central Bahamas. The depression was moving at about 8 mph. The depression moved towards Florida and stalled off the coast, producing thundershowers across the state on August 28. The Bahamian government released a storm warning for its northern islands as Tropical Depression One grew stronger, 200 nautical miles of Nassau. There was a chance that the depression could reach tropical storm status before landfall. The tropical depression made landfall in Florida on May 31 with expected winds of 15 mph and a 30 percent chance of rain. The tropical depression fizzled into a wave on June 1, the official start of the hurricane season.[1][2][3][4][5] Cyclone Catarina, a rare South Atlantic tropical cyclone viewed from the International Space Station on March 26, 2004 Hurricane and Typhoon redirect here. ...

Intensity 45 mph, 1007 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Unnamed Tropical Storm (1987)

The second tropical depression of the season formed in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico from a tropical wave on August 9. It quickly strengthened into a tropical storm, though the strengthening was not known at the time. Based on lack of significant organization or reports at the time, the storm remained unnamed. It travelled northwestward and as it neared the coast, the first tropical storm warning ever issued for a tropical system was issued for the Texas and Louisiana coasts from Galveston to Lake Charles. The tropical storm made landfall near High Island, Texas on the 10th, and quickly weakened to a tropical depression as it moved northeastward. It turned to the southeast, reached the Gulf of Mexico, accelerated to the northeast, and dissipated over Georgia on the 17th. Up to 21 inches of rainfall was associated with the storm,[6] causing flash flooding and water damage amounting to $12.4 million (2005 USD).

Hurricane Arlene

Hurricane Arlene 1
Arlene 1987 track.png
Duration August 10August 28
Intensity 75 mph, 987 mbar (hPa)

A low pressure system on the tail end of a stationary cold front organized into a subtropical depression on August 8 near the South Carolina coast, and drifted southward.[7] Convection organized more, and the storm was classified Tropical Depression Three on August 10 over the Bahamas. It executed an anticyclonic loop to the northeast, and was estimated to have attained tropical storm status on August 11, based on reports from Hurricane Hunters. Small cells in the ridge of high pressure caused Arlene to take an unusual track to the east, with two southward jogs in its path.[7] A trough of low pressure near Bermuda initially inhibited strengthening. However, after high pressures to its east forced the storm northward, more favorable conditions allowed Arlene to intensify into a hurricane on August 22.[8] Operationally, it was upgraded two days earlier, based on the appearance of an eye feature on satellite imagery. After becoming a hurricane, Arlene accelerated to the northeast into the cold waters of the north Atlantic Ocean, and on August 23 it became extratropical about halfway between Newfoundland and Ireland. The extratropical remnants turned to the southeast and later to the east, making landfall on the Iberian Peninsula before dissipating on August 28 over Spain. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is a scale classifying most Western Hemisphere tropical cyclones that exceed the levels of tropical depression and tropical storm and thereby become hurricanes; the categories it divides hurricanes into are distinguished by the intensities of their respective sustained winds. ...

As Arlene approached, islanders of Bermuda were warned to board up their homes, with winds of 50 mph expected.[9]Ultimately, the island experienced winds of 35 mph with gusts up to 49 mph.[8] A 41-year old blind sailor on a trip across the Atlantic was unable to make it to a harbor in Bermuda due to the hurricane, and rode out the storm in the open sea.[10]The storm produced moderate rainfall to coastal areas of Spain, contributing to a monthly rainfall record at Rota.[8][11] The 14.5 day total between the start of its best track and when it attained hurricane status is the largest on record for an Atlantic hurricane.[12] Atlantic hurricane refers to a tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator, usually in the Northern Hemisphere summer or autumn. ...

Bret moved a western course of 20 - 25 mph and reached its peak intensity of 50 mph/1000 millibars on August 20.[13] A ridge of high pressure in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, north of Bret, began to weaken and drift to the east on the 20th. Moving at 17 mph, Bret plodded its way east on August 21.

Bret slowed down during a period from August 21 - August 23, moving at only 15 - 20 mph.[13] Bret started a northwesterly course and encountered wind shear. Due to the shear, Bret weakened into a depression on August 23. The next morning, Tropical Depression Bret was downgraded into a tropical wave with no low-level circulation left. The wave was absorbed by a trough of low pressure during the next few days.[13] August 21 is the 233rd day of the year (234th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A tropical depression formed off the African coast on August 31, in which forecasters predicted would become the third tropical storm of the season. At 6 AM August 31, the depression was seemingly appeared unchanged, staying at winds of about 35 mph (55 km/h). The depression was then located 825 nautical miles west of Sao Taigo in the Cape Verde Islands, stirring up 12-foot seas. The next day, Tropical Depression Six moved eastward becoming 1050 miles off the Cape Verde Islands. Tropical Depression Six was at the time not a threat to land and few ships were in the area. Tropical Depression Six degenerated into a tropical wave on September 4, never affecting land or reaching storm-intensity. Redevelopment was possible, but that did not occur.[15][16][17][18] Cyclone Catarina, a rare South Atlantic tropical cyclone viewed from the International Space Station on March 26, 2004 Hurricane and Typhoon redirect here. ...

On September 1 a tropical wave exited the African coast, and moved westward across the Atlantic Ocean. A trough of low pressure moved southeastward through the tropics, and brought the wave more towards the north. Generally favorable conditions for development allowed the wave to organize into a tropical depression on September 5, and two days later it attained tropical storm status. Cindy continued northward, and peaked at 50 mph winds on the 8th before turning to the northeast. Strong upper-level shear weakened the storm, and after two days of struggling as a tropical storm, Cindy became extratropical on the 10th to the northwest of the Azores.

An upper-level cyclone closed off near the central Gulf Coast on September 6, which spurred cyclogenesis offshore the Southeast United States. Convection became organized enough for the National Hurricane Center to issue advisories on Tropical Depression Nine on the 7th. The depression was poorly organized according to Robert Case, forecaster at the National Hurricane Center.[22]The depression moved generally northward, moving through South Carolina, North Carolina, and the Mid-Atlantic while maintaining its identity.

Dennis was first located on satellite imagery off the African coast as a 30 mph tropical depression on September 8.[25] Dennis moved westward, passing within 300 nautical miles south of the Cape Verde Islands on September 10 as it reached storm status via satellite imagery. Dennis continued to strengthened while moving westward for the next few days, peaking at 50 mph (80 km/h)/1000 millibars on September 11 and September 12.Dennis weakened into a minimal tropical storm during the 12th. On September 14, National Hurricane Center forecaster Joe Pelissier said that Dennis could weaken into a depression as early as that day.[26] Dennis stayed as a minimal tropical storm until the 18th when it weakened into a depression. At this point, the 18th, Dennis was 525 nautical miles east of Antigua.[25] Cyclone Catarina, a rare South Atlantic tropical cyclone viewed from the International Space Station on March 26, 2004 Hurricane and Typhoon redirect here. ...

An Air Force Reconnissance aircraft was deployed to check into a depression east of Antigua and west of Dennis. This plane was diverted to Tropical Depression Dennis and found winds less than 40 mph. Dennis continued moving abruptly to the north in a discontinuous manner, which suggested that a new area of low pressure may have formed. The depression moved northward then eastward at about 20-25 mph and through a weakness in the subtropical ridge. Dennis merged with an extratropical low on September 20, ending its twelve-day life.

The eleventh tropical depression formed on Sunday, September 14 and became a threat to Antigua as it formed 425 nautical miles southeast of the island. The max winds at the time were 35 mph (55 km/h) and moving at 10 mph to the west. The depression continued moving towards Antigua at 5-10 mph on September 15, but was deemed "no cause for alarm". The depression peaked at 35 mph and degenerated into a tropical wave on Tuesday, September 16 east of Antigua.[27][28][29] Cyclone Catarina, a rare South Atlantic tropical cyclone viewed from the International Space Station on March 26, 2004 Hurricane and Typhoon redirect here. ...

Duration September 20September 26
Intensity 125 mph, 958 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Hurricane Emily (1987)

Emily formed east of the Windward Islands and headed west, causing considerable damage on Saint Vincent. It then slowly began turning north, and made landfall in the Dominican Republic, where three people were reported dead and there was $30 million (1987 US dollars) in damage. After passing over Hispaniola, Emily began a turn to the northeast, and eventually made landfall at Bermuda, where it caused $35 million (1987 USD) in damage, but no lives were lost. Thousands of migratory birds took refuge on Bermuda during the storm, including ten thousand bobolinks and thousands of Connecticut warblers. As the cyclone moved past Bermuda, Emily became the fastest moving hurricane of the previous century, moving at a pace of 69 mph or 31 m/s.

Main article: Hurricane Floyd (1987)

A broad area of low pressure organized into a tropical depression off the coast of Nicaragua on October 9. After drifting to the southeast, it turned to the north-northwest and organized into a tropical storm on the 10th. After crossing western Cuba on the 12th, Floyd accelerated to the northeast, and attained hurricane status late on the 12th. It passed through the Florida Keys before entraining cooler, drier air from a stationary frontal boundary. Its convection became very disorganized, and Floyd weakened back to a tropical storm early on the 13th to the southeast of Miami. It crossed the Bahamas, and became extratropical late on the 13th. The extratropical storm remained another 6 hours before the frontal boundary absorbed it on the 14th.

Some sources suggest that Floyd continued across the Atlantic and became the Great Storm of 1987 which hit England, though this is disputed. Damage in Florida was minimal, due to the disorganized nature of the hurricane. Floyd brought up to 8.8 inches to the state, causing moderate crop damage on the southern portion of the state. In addition, one tornado spawned by the storm damaged portions of the Florida Keys. Overall, damage amounted to around $0.5 million (1987 USD), with no casualties or injuries reported.

Tropical Depression Fourteen

Tropical Depression 14 TD
Duration October 31November 4
Intensity 35 mph (55 km/h), 1004 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Tropical Depression Fourteen (1987)

A broad area of low pressure existed in the central Caribbean Sea in late October. It steadily organized, and was classified as Tropical Depression Fourteen on October 31. It moved northwestward, and entered a high-shear environment due to an upper level low situated towards the end of a high pressure system. By November 1, little convection remained as the weak depression turned to the north and crossed Cuba. A burst of convection organized over the depression, and brought strong wind gusts to the Florida Keys as it passed through the area on the 2nd. It continued to the north-northwest, paralleling the Florida west coast, and lost all of its convection on the 3rd. The system turned to the northeast, and merged with a weak extratropical low over northern Florida on the 4th.
