The 1994 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1994, and lasted until November 30, 1994. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The season was very quiet, with only seven named storms, three hurricanes, and no major hurricanes; the low activity is the result of a strong El Niño that lasted from 1991 to 1994.

Tropical Depression #2 formed from a weather system of nontropical origin. A broad upper trough extended northeast from the Bahamas in mid-July. Thunderstorms increased within this trough to the north of the Bahamas on the 18th. A weak surface low gradually developed a couple hundred miles southeast of South Carolina by the 19th. That night, a tropical depression formed from this low. The depression hit it peak intensity of 1015 mbar and 35 mph (56 km/h) on July 20th.

An area of disturbed weather, related to Tropical Depression Eight, persisted for several days over the northwest Caribbean Sea and the Yucatan Peninsula. A tropical wave moved into the area, causing an increase in showers and cloudiness. Pressures began dropping and the NHC estimated that the wave became Tropical Depression Ten on September 29 about 150 nautical miles (280 km) off the coast of Cuba. The system became better-organized and when the depression moved into Mexico, it was absorbed by a non-tropical system on 30th.

As it moved generally northwest, it took on tropical characteristics and was classified as Tropical Storm Florence on the 4th. It reached hurricane strength, then turned sharply to the northeast and accelerated on November 6, as it was picked up by a strong trough. Florence was absorbed by a cold front on the 8th.

Hurricane Gordon was a long-lived system that remained a tropical storm for most of its existence and followed a winding, atypical track through the western Caribbean and into Florida. Although Gordon was only a tropical storm for most of its long existence, it caused enormous damage. A United Nations estimate of the death toll in Haiti was 1,122. There were six deaths reported in Costa Rica, five in the Dominican Republic, two in Jamaica, two in Cuba, and eight in Florida. Despite the death toll, the World Meteorological Organization did not retire the name, issuing an official statement crediting Jamaica and Cuba's warning infrastructure for the low loss of life there, and blaming Haiti's lack of such a system for the large number of deaths there. Hurricane Gordon was the seventh named tropical storm and third hurricane of the 1994 Atlantic hurricane season. ...

Rainfall totals from the October Subtropical Storm

In addition to the seven named storms, the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center identified a subtropical storm in early October that moved across Florida and the southeastern United States. The storm produced heavy rainfall along its path, peaking at over 10 inches (250 mm) in southern South Carolina. However, the storm was not confirmed by the National Hurricane Center.[3] The rainfall in South Carolina caused coastal flooding and flash flooding, with more than 147 houses, 6 government buildings, 36 buildings, and at least 45 cars were flooded. At least 37 roads were washed out or damaged, and more than 3,000 people were left without power after the rains. Damage from the storm exceeded $1 million (1994 USD).[4] Image File history File links Suboct1994rain. ... Image File history File links Suboct1994rain. ...

Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Rating

ACE (104kt2) – Storm: Source
1 10.4 Florence 5 1.51 Ernesto
2 8.35 Gordon 6 1.37 Debby
3 7.50 Chris 7 0.825 Beryl
4 1.57 Alberto    
Total= 31.53 (32)

The table on the right shows the ACE for each storm in the season. The ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed for, so hurricanes that lasted a long time (such as Gordon), as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have higher ACEs. Hurricane Gordon was the seventh named tropical storm and third hurricane of the 1994 Atlantic hurricane season. ...
