FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
...SUMMARY OF THE 1998 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON...
THE 1998 SEASON WILL BE REMEMBERED AS BEING ONE OF THE DEADLIEST IN
HISTORY...AND FOR HAVING THE STRONGEST OCTOBER HURRICANE ON
RECORD. IT WAS A VERY ACTIVE SEASON WITH 14 NAMED TROPICAL STORMS
OF WHICH 10 BECAME HURRICANES. THREE OF THESE WERE MAJOR HURRICANES
...CATEGORIES THREE...FOUR...AND FIVE ON THE SAFFIR/SIMPSON
HURRICANE SCALE. THE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD OF 1995-1998 HAD A TOTAL OF
33 HURRICANES...AN ALL-TIME RECORD.
TROPICAL CYCLONES CLAIMED AN ESTIMATED 11,629 LIVES IN 1998...11,000
DUE TO HURRICANE MITCH IN CENTRAL AMERICA. NOT SINCE 1780 HAS AN
ATLANTIC HURRICANE CAUSED SO MANY DEATHS.
SEVEN OF THE TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANES HIT THE UNITED STATES
...WHICH IS MORE THAN TWICE THE AVERAGE. TOTAL DAMAGES IN THE
UNITED STATES STAND AT 6.5 BILLION DOLLARS.
THE SEASON STARTED A LITTLE LATE...BUT MORE THAN MADE UP FOR LOST
TIME. THERE WERE NO TROPICAL CYCLONES IN JUNE AND THE FIRST STORM
OF THE SEASON...TROPICAL STORM ALEX...DEVELOPED ON JULY 27. THEN...
IN A HYPER-ACTIVE 35-DAY SPAN...FROM AUGUST 19 TO SEPTEMBER 23...
TEN NAMED TROPICAL CYCLONES FORMED. TWO TROPICAL CYCLONES FORMED
IN OCTOBER...LISA AND POWERFUL HURRICANE MITCH. THE SEASON CONCLUDED
WITH HURRICANE NICOLE IN LATE NOVEMBER.
ON SEPTEMBER 25...THERE WERE FOUR ATLANTIC HURRICANES IN PROGRESS AT
ONCE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SUCH AN EVENT WAS OBSERVED SINCE 1893.

ALEX FORMED OVER THE EASTERN TROPICAL ATLANTIC ABOUT 350 MILES
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS ON JUL 27...BECOMING A
TROPICAL STORM LATE THE FOLLOWING DAY. IT MOVED GENERALLY WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD...REACHING ITS PEAK INTENSITY OF 60 MPH LATE ON JUL
30 LOCATED ABOUT 900 MILES EAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES. THE SYSTEM
WEAKENED TO DISSIPATION ABOUT 300 MILES NORTHEAST OF THE LEEWARD
ISLANDS ON AUG 2.
BONNIE DEVELOPED FROM A TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE ATLANTIC ABOUT 900
MILES EAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS ON AUG 19 AND BECAME A TROPICAL
STORM A DAY LATER. IT MOVED ON A WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TRACK...
SKIRTING THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. LATE ON THE 21ST THE STORM
STRENGTHENED INTO A HURRICANE LOCATED ABOUT 200 MILES NORTH-
NORTHEAST OF EASTERN HISPANIOLA. BONNIE STRENGTHENED TO ITS MAXIMUM
WINDS OF 115 MPH LATE ON THE 23RD WHILE LOCATED ABOUT 175 MILES EAST
OF SAN SALVADOR IN THE BAHAMAS. THE HURRICANE TURNED TOWARD THE
NORTHWEST AND STAYED EAST OF THE BAHAMAS.
BONNIE THEN HEADED TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST...IN THE GENERAL
DIRECTION OF THE CAROLINAS...GRADUALLY TURNING TOWARD THE NORTH-
NORTHWEST AND THEN NORTH. AS THE CENTER NEARED THE COAST...ITS
FORWARD SPEED SLOWED. THE EYE OF BONNIE PASSED JUST EAST OF CAPE
FEAR NORTH CAROLINA LATE ON THE 26TH. BONNIE MADE LANDFALL NEAR
WILMINGTON AS A CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE EARLY ON THE 27TH. IT
WEAKENED TO A TROPICAL STORM WHILE MOVING SLOWLY OVER EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA. AS THE STORM MOVED OFF THE COAST IN THE VICINITY OF THE
OUTER BANKS NEAR KITTY HAWK...IT RE-STRENGTHENED INTO A HURRICANE.
BONNIE SOON WEAKENED BACK TO A TROPICAL STORM AS MOVED NORTHEASTWARD
TO EASTWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC INTO COOLER WATERS...BECOMING
EXTRATROPICAL ABOUT 240 MILES SOUTHEAST OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND.
THREE DEATHS WERE CAUSED BY BONNIE AND THE DAMAGE TOTAL IS ESTIMATED
TO BE $720 MILLION.
CHARLEY DEVELOPED FROM AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT WAS TRACKED FROM
THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO INTO THE CENTRAL GULF. THE SYSTEM
FORMED INTO A DEPRESSION EARLY ON AUG 21 CENTERED ABOUT 275 MILES
OFF THE SOUTH TEXAS COAST. THE SYSTEM STRENGTHENED INTO A TROPICAL
STORM LATER THAT SAME DAY. CHARLEY REACHED ITS PEAK INTENSITY OF
70 MPH SHORTLY BEFORE MOVING INLAND NEAR PORT ARANSAS TEXAS EARLY
ON AUG 22. AFTER LANDFALL THE SURFACE CIRCULATION WEAKENED TO NEAR
DISSIPATION BUT A SLOW-MOVING CIRCULATION ALOFT PERSISTED IN THE
VICINITY OF DEL RIO TEXAS. THIS SYSTEM GENERATED FLOODING RAINS
THAT WERE MOST DEVASTATING IN THAT AREA ON AUG 23-24. THE DEATH
TOLL CURRENTLY STANDS AT 20 AND TOTAL DAMAGES ARE NEAR $50 MILLION.
THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION THAT WAS TO BECOME DANIELLE FORMED EARLY ON
AUG 24 ABOUT 700 MILES WEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. TROPICAL
STORM STATUS WAS REACHED LATER THAT DAY. MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD
...DANIELLE RAPIDLY STRENGTHENED INTO A HURRICANE AND REACHED THE
FIRST OF SEVERAL PEAK INTENSITIES NEAR 105 MPH WHILE CENTERED ABOUT
1040 MILES EAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS
...THE HURRICANE CONTINUED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD...GRADUALLY SLOWING
IN FORWARD SPEED. DANIELLE TURNED NORTHWESTWARD AND NORTHWARD ON
AUG 30-31...PASSING WELL EAST OF THE BAHAMAS. IT THEN TURNED
NORTHEASTWARD AT INCREASING FORWARD SPEED...PASSING ABOUT 230 MILES
NORTHWEST OF BERMUDA EARLY ON SEP 2...AND WINDS AT BERMUDA BRIEFLY
REACHED TROPICAL STORM FORCE. DANIELLE LOST TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS
ABOUT 260 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST OF CAPE RACE LATE ON SEP 3.
EARL DEVELOPED OVER THE SOUTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO ON AUG 31. THE
TROPICAL DEPRESSION BECAME A TROPICAL STORM LATER THAT DAY BUT
HAD A POORLY-DEFINED CENTER THAT WAS DIFFICULT TO TRACK. THE
GENERAL MOTION WAS NORTH AND THEN NORTHEASTWARD...BECOMING A
HURRICANE LOCATED ABOUT 150 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF NEW ORLEANS.
AFTER BRIEFLY REACHING 100 MPH WINDS...EARL MADE LANDFALL OVER
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE NEAR PANAMA CITY AS A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE
EARLY ON SEP 3. IT WEAKENED TO BELOW HURRICANE STRENGTH SOON AFTER
MAKING LANDFALL AND BECAME EXTRATROPICAL ON SEP 3 WHILE MOVING
NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH GEORGIA. EARL WAS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR
THREE DEATHS AND THE TOTAL DAMAGE ESTIMATE IS $79 MILLION.
FRANCES FORMED IN THE GULF OF MEXICO ABOUT 160 MILES EAST OF
BROWNSVILLE ON SEP 8. THE DEPRESSION DRIFTED SOUTHWARD FOR ABOUT
A DAY. THE CYCLONE BECAME A TROPICAL STORM ON SEP 10 AND MOVED
NORTH TO NORTHWESTWARD...MOVING INLAND ACROSS THE TEXAS COAST JUST
NORTH OF CORPUS CHRISTI EARLY ON SEP 11...BY WHICH TIME IT HAD
STRENGTHENED TO 65 MPH. FRANCES CENTER MOVED IN A SMALL LOOP OVER
SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS. WEAKENING TO A DEPRESSION...FRANCES THEN MOVED
NORTHWARD TO THE TEXAS/OKLAHOMA BORDER NORTH OF DALLAS WHERE IT
DISSIPATED ON SEP 13. A REMNANT LOW PRESSURE AND RAINFALL AREA
COULD BE TRACKED NORTHWARD TO IOWA A DAY LATER. FRANCES CAUSED
ONE DEATH AND AN ESTIMATED $500 MILLION IN DAMAGE.
GEORGES FORMED IN THE FAR EASTERN ATLANTIC FROM A TROPICAL WAVE
EARLY ON THE 15TH...AND BECAME A TROPICAL STORM ON THE MORNING OF
THE 16TH. BY LATE AFTERNOON ON THE 17TH...SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATED THAT GEORGES DEVELOPED AN EYE AND HAD BECOME A HURRICANE.
GEORGES MOVED ON A GENERAL WEST TO WEST-NORTHWEST COURSE AT 15 TO 20
MPH FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. DURING THIS PERIOD...GEORGES IS
ESTIMATED TO HAVE REACHED A PEAK INTENSITY OF 155 MPH...CATEGORY 4
...AND A MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE OF 937 MB EARLY ON THE 20TH WHILE
LOCATED ABOUT 420 MILES EAST OF GUADELOUPE IN THE LESSER ANTILLES.
GEORGES FIRST OF MANY LANDFALLS OCCURRED AT ANTIGUA IN THE LEEWARD
ISLANDS LATE ON THE 20TH. AFTER MOVING NEAR OR OVER OTHER ISLANDS
OF THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN INCLUDING THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS...IT
THEN HIT PUERTO RICO ON THE EVENING OF THE 21ST WITH ESTIMATED
MAXIMUM WINDS OF 115 MPH. GEORGES WEAKENED VERY LITTLE WHILE OVER
PUERTO RICO AND WAS EVEN STRONGER WHEN IT MADE LANDFALL IN THE

DAMAGE.
IVAN FORMED FROM A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT 200 MILES TO THE
SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. IT REMAINED OVER THE EASTERN
ATLANTIC MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
THE CYCLONE BECAME A TROPICAL STORM ON SEP 20 WHEN LOCATED ABOUT 500
MILES WEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS...AND A HURRICANE ABOUT 900
MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE AZORES ON SEP 23. AFTER TURNING TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST...IVAN STRENGTHENED TO A PEAK INTENSITY OF 90 MPH WHILE
LOCATED ABOUT 300 MILES WEST OF THE AZORES EARLY ON THE 26TH. IVAN
TURNED TOWARD THE EAST AND WEAKENED WHILE PASSING OVER COOLER WATERS
TO THE NORTH OF THE AZORES. IT BECAME EXTRATROPICAL EARLY ON THE
27TH.
JEANNE BECAME A TROPICAL STORM UNUSUALLY FAR TO THE EAST...CLOSE TO
THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA EARLY ON SEP 21 AND INTENSIFIED INTO A
HURRICANE THE FOLLOWING DAY. IT BRUSHED THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS
WHILE MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS...REACHING A
PEAK INTENSITY OF 105 MPH ON THE 24TH ABOUT 650 MILES WEST OF THOSE
ISLANDS. THE HURRICANE TURNED TOWARD THE NORTH OVER THE EAST-
CENTRAL ATLANTIC LATE ON THE 26TH...THEN TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AND
EAST-NORTHEAST. JEANNE WEAKENED TO A TROPICAL STORM ON SEP 29...
THEN DROPPED BELOW STORM STRENGTH IN THE VICINITY OF THE AZORES AND
LOST ITS TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS LATE ON THE 30TH.
HURRICANE KARL DEVELOPED FROM A SMALL NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE AREA
THAT WAS TRACKED FROM THE COAST OF THE CAROLINAS. IT BECAME A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION ON SEP 23 ABOUT 60 MILES WEST-NORTHWEST OF
BERMUDA. KARL MOVED EASTWARD AND BECAME A TROPICAL STORM LATER THAT
DAY ABOUT 240 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST OF BERMUDA. IT MOVED TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST AND STRENGTHENED TO A MAXIMUM INTENSITY OF 105 MPH LATE ON
SEP 26...WHEN A WELL-DEFINED EYE WAS OBSERVED...CENTERED ABOUT 1000
MILES EAST NORTHEAST OF BERMUDA. ACCELERATING TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST...KARL WEAKENED TO A TROPICAL STORM LATE ON THE 27TH OVER
COOLER WATERS ABOUT 200 MILES WEST-NORTHWEST OF THE AZORES. IT
BECAME EXTRATROPICAL WHILE MOVING NORTH OF THE AZORES ON SEP 28.
LISA MOVED MOSTLY NORTHWARD OVER THE EASTERN NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN.
IT FORMED ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS AND THE LESSER
ANTILLES...AND QUICKLY STRENGTHENED INTO A TROPICAL STORM. LISA
BRIEFLY BECAME A 75-MPH HURRICANE ON OCT 9 WHEN LOCATED ABOUT 425
MILES WEST-NORTHWEST OF THE WESTERNMOST AZORES...AND THEN RAPIDLY
LOST ITS TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
HURRICANE MITCH...THE STRONGEST OCTOBER HURRICANE EVER RECORDED...
FORMED IN THE SOUTHWEST CARIBBEAN SEA FROM A TROPICAL WAVE ABOUT 360
MILES SOUTH OF KINGSTON JAMAICA LATE ON OCT 21. THE SYSTEM
INITIALLY MOVED SLOWLY WESTWARD AND INTENSIFIED TO A TROPICAL STORM.
MITCH THEN MOVED SLOWLY NORTHWARD...THEN NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD ON THE
23RD AND 24TH WHILE GRADUALLY GAINING STRENGTH. EARLY ON OCT 24...
MITCH BECAME A HURRICANE. LATER THAT DAY...AS IT TURNED TOWARD THE
WEST...MITCH BEGAN TO INTENSIFY RAPIDLY. IN ABOUT 24 HOURS ITS
CENTRAL PRESSURE DROPPED 52 MB...TO 924 MB BY THE AFTERNOON OF OCT
25. FURTHER STRENGTHENING TOOK PLACE AND THE CENTRAL PRESSURE
REACHED A MINIMUM OF 905 MB ABOUT 40 MILES SOUTHEAST OF SWAN ISLAND
ON THE AFTERNOON OF SEP 26. THIS PRESSURE IS THE FOURTH LOWEST EVER
RECORDED IN AN ATLANTIC HURRICANE THIS CENTURY...TIED WITH HURRICANE
CAMILLE IN 1969. THIS IS ALSO THE LOWEST PRESSURE EVER OBSERVED IN
AN OCTOBER HURRICANE IN THE ATLANTIC BASIN. AT ITS PEAK...THE
MAXIMUM WINDS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE 180 MPH...A STRONG CATEGORY FIVE
HURRICANE.
AFTER PASSING OVER SWAN ISLAND...MITCH BEGAN TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN ON
SEP 27 WHILE MOVING SLOWLY WEST...THEN SOUTHWEST TOWARD THE BAY
ISLANDS OFF THE COAST OF HONDURAS. THE CENTER PASSED VERY NEAR THE
ISLAND OF GUANAJA...WREAKING HAVOC THERE. FROM MID-DAY ON THE 27TH
TO EARLY ON THE 29TH...THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE ROSE 59 MB. THE
CENTER OF THE HURRICANE MEANDERED NEAR THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS
FROM LATE ON THE 27TH THROUGH THE 28TH BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL DURING
THE MORNING OF THE 29TH ABOUT 70 MILES EAST OF LA CEIBA WITH 100 MPH
WINDS. MITCH MOVED SOUTHWARD OVER HONDURAS...WEAKENING TO A TROPICAL
STORM...EARLY ON THE 30TH. MITCH MOVED SLOWLY OVER HONDURAS AND
GUATEMALA ON SEP 30-31...GRADUALLY WEAKENING TO A DEPRESSION. THE
CYCLONE GENERATED TORRENTIAL RAINS OVER PORTIONS OF HONDURAS AND
NICARAGUA WHERE THE ASSOCIATED FLOODS WERE DEVASTATING. SOME HEAVY
RAINS ALSO OCCURRED IN NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.
ALTHOUGH MITCH ORIGINALLY DISSIPATED NEAR THE GUATEMALA/SOUTHEAST
MEXICO BORDER SUNDAY AFTERNOON NOV 1...THE REMNANTS CONTINUED TO
PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AMERICA AND
EASTERN MEXICO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ON NOV 3...A LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION BECAME EVIDENT IN THE EASTERN BAY OF CAMPECHE AND AN AIR
FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATING THE SYSTEM
REPORTED TROPICAL STORM-FORCE WINDS AND A 997 MB CENTRAL PRESSURE.
THUS...MITCH HAD REGENERATED INTO A TROPICAL STORM ON THE AFTERNOON
OF THE 3RD WHILE LOCATED ABOUT 55 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF CAMPECHE
MEXICO. MITCH WEAKENED TO A DEPRESSION EARLY ON THE 4TH AS IT MOVED
INLAND OVER THE NORTHWEST YUCATAN PENINSULA. THE CENTER RE-EMERGED
OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO BY MID-MORNING ON THE 4TH
REGAINING TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH. MITCH BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO THE
NORTHEAST AS IT BECAME INVOLVED WITH A FRONTAL ZONE MOVING THROUGH
THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. MITCH MADE LANDFALL ON THE MORNING OF
THE 5TH IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA NEAR NAPLES WITH MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
WINDS NEAR 60 MPH. BY MID-AFTERNOON OF THE 5TH MITCH MOVED
OFFSHORE OF SOUTH FLORIDA AND BECAME EXTRATROPICAL. THE ESTIMATED
DEATH TOLL FROM MITCH COULD BE AS HIGH AS 11,000...BUT THERE IS
GREAT UNCERTAINTY IN THIS FIGURE. U.S. DAMAGE FIGURES ARE
INCOMPLETE AT THIS TIME.
NICOLE FORMED FROM A NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ABOUT 700
MILES WEST OF THE CANARY ISLANDS. IT MOVED WEST-SOUTHWEST FOR A FEW
DAYS...STRENGTHENING TO A 70 MPH STORM BEFORE ENCOUNTERING STRONG
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS AND WEAKENING TO A LOW PRESSURE AREA ON NOV 26.
HOWEVER...NICOLE WAS TENACIOUS AND IT REGENERATED INTO A TROPICAL
STORM THE NEXT DAY. IT TURNED NORTHWARD AND NORTHEASTWARD...
STRENGTHENING INTO A HURRICANE LATE ON NOV 29 WHILE LOCATED ABOUT
770 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE WESTERNMOST AZORES. NICOLE STRENGTHENED
TO A PEAK INTENSITY OF 85 MPH AND PASSED A FEW HUNDRED MILES WEST OF
THE AZORES TODAY. IT IS CURRENTLY LOSING ITS TROPICAL
CHARACTERISTICS AND THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS JUST ISSUED
THE LAST ADVISORY.
