Storms

Tropical Storm Arthur

Arthur formed as a tropical depression over Grand Bahama on June 19. The storm moved north and reached tropical storm strength, and made landfall near Cape Lookout, North Carolina on June 20. Arthur turned to the east and back out into the Atlantic Ocean. It weakened to a tropical depression, became extratropical, and was absorbed by another system on the 23rd. Arthur was a minimal tropical storm, and no significant damage was reported. Image File history File links Tropical_Storm_Arthur_(1996). ...

An early season Cape Verde-type hurricane, the tropical depression that became Bertha formed in the central Atlantic on July 5.

Hurricane Edouard

A tropical wave that moved off the African coast formed into a tropical depression 300 n mi southeast of Cape Verde on August 19. This depression moved west, and on August 22 strengthened into a tropical storm. The next day it was at hurricane strength. As Hurricane Edouard continued across the Atlantic, its winds increased to 145 mph, making it a Category 4 storm and the strongest of the season. It remained an intense hurricane for nearly eight days--an unusual occurrence. Hurricane Edouard's track took it well north of the Antilles, and on August 29, it began turning north. At this time, Edouard was observed to have three concentric eyewalls, an unusual occurrence. Now on a northward track, Edouard passed midway between Cape Hatteras and Bermuda on September 1. The storm approached Nantucket, Massachusetts, but turned to the east before reaching land. Its closest approach was 75 n mi from the island. On September 3, the storm weakened and became extratropical. It was absorbed by a larger system on the 7th. Lowest pressure 933 mbar (hPa) Damages $3. ...

Tropical Storm Josephine

A broad area of low pressure caused by a stalled cold front organized into a tropical depression on October 4 in the western Gulf of Mexico. As it drifted to the northeast, upper level shear inhibited development, though a strong pressure gradient allowed it to strengthen to a tropical storm on the 6th. Josephine intensified greatly as it accellerated to the northeast, and struck the Florida Panhandle in Taylor County on the 8th as a 70 mph tropical storm. Upper level shear weakened it, and caused the storm to become extratropical over Georgia later that day. The extratropical storm continued rapidly to the northeast over the East Coast of the United States and Canada before ultimately merging with another extratropical low near Iceland on the 16th.
