This is just a mockup hurricane season. Just for that, all names used are not gonna be from any established Atlantic hurricane season naming list, the years listed will be the placeholder "20XX," and pictures used will be of pre-existing storms (primarily ones photographed with the AVHRR satellite) to show how the storms would probably look.

Hurricane Alyssa

Hurricane Alyssa

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Alyssa approaching New England near peak intensity, on June 7
Formed	June 4
Dissipated	June 11
( Extratropical after June 10)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 75 mph (120 km/h)
Lowest pressure	979 mbar ( hPa); 28.91 inHg
Fatalities	1 direct,1 indirect
Damage	$1.26 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New England (Especially Massachusetts)
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A low pressure area formed from a decaying cold front on June 2, and began interacting with a tropical wave the next day. The systems' merger became Tropical Depression One on June 4, which intensified into Tropical Storm Alyssa, then Hurricane Alyssa the next day. The storm followed a semi-erratic path before making landfall in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h), causing minor damage and one fatality by drowning. The storm continued on a north-northeast path, causing minor damage in Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, and Rhode Island before intensifying to Category 1 status and making landfall in Massachusetts with winds of 75 mph (120 km/h). The system began losing tropical characteristics on June 9, becoming a hurricane-force extratropical cyclone on June 10. One other person was indirectly killed by the storm after a tree fell on their car.

Hurricane Brody

Hurricane Brody

Category 4 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Brody after its peak intensity over the Bahamas on July 2
Formed	June 23
Dissipated	July 6
( Remnant low after July 5)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 150 mph (240 km/h)
Lowest pressure	951 mbar ( hPa); 28.08 inHg
Fatalities	0 direct, 1 indirect
Damage	$15 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	The Bahamas
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A tropical wave emerged off the western coast of Africa on June 18. After being monitored for possible cyclogenesis for five days, it was soon classified as a tropical depression on June 23, eventually intensifying into Tropical Storm Brody the next day. Brody rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane on June 30, and began moving through the Bahamas on July 2. One person in Florida was indirectly killed by rip currents and large swells generated by the storm. The Bahamas sustained severe damages, totaling $15 million USD, with most of the damage caused by severe flooding from heavy rains and storm surge, which was believed to have reached 12 feet high. The storm holds the record for earliest-forming Category 4 hurricane, beating out the record of 2005's Hurricane Dennis.

Hurricane Cora

Hurricane Cora

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Cora at peak intensity, on July 13
Formed	July 4
Dissipated	July 22
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 105 mph (165 km/h)
Lowest pressure	964 mbar ( hPa); 28.47 inHg
Fatalities	4 direct, 0 indirect
Damage	$7.8 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Cuba, Gulf Coast of the United States (especially Texas)
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A tropical wave emerged off the western coast of Africa on July 2. It intensified into Tropical Depression Three on July 4, then into Tropical Storm Cora six hours later. An anticyclone appeared over the tiny system on July 6, allowing it to intensify into a Category 2 hurricane. The system moved on an erratic west-northwest path, prompting many islands in the Lesser Antilles to put out hurricane watches. Eventually, the system maintained a steady path and made landfall on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h). The storm weakened to a tropical storm before emerging from the northern coast of Cuba, and continued on its west-northwest path. The storm re-intensified back into a Category 2 storm, posing a severe threat to Texas. The system eventually made landfall in Texas, with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h), and rapidly weakened after landfall. The remains of the system were later absorbed into a larger extratropical system. Throughout its lengthy existence, Cora killed 4 people, 3 in Cuba and 1 in the United States.

Tropical Storm Devin

Tropical Storm Devin

Tropical storm (SSHWS/NWS)
Tropical Storm Devin approaching New England on July 21
Formed	July 20
Dissipated	July 23
( Extratropical after July 22)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 50 mph (85 km/h)
Lowest pressure	997 mbar ( hPa); 29.44 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	$1 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, New York, New England (Especially Rhode Island)
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

An ill-defined tropical wave emerged off the western coast of Africa on July 14. A broad area of low pressure formed and merged with the wave, which led to the creation of Tropical Depression Four on July 20, and Tropical Storm Devin 12 hours after. The system stayed on a west-northwest path, but a ridge to the south-southeast pushed the storm farther north. The tropical storm made landfall in Virginia at peak intensity on July 21, continuing upward as an extratropical cyclone (the same one that would absorb Hurricane Cora) began pushing the system, leading to Devin causing effects in Delaware, Maryland, and New York before making a second landfall in Rhode Island with winds of 45 mph (75 km/h). Devin started to lose tropical characteristics on July 21 at 1800 UTC, becoming extratropical 6 hours later. Devin's remnants would later be absorbed into the same extratropical cyclone.

Hurricane Eliza

Hurricane Eliza

Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Eliza near peak intensity, on July 28
Formed	July 24
Dissipated	August 4
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 165 mph (270 km/h)
Lowest pressure	929 mbar ( hPa); 27.43 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	None
Areas affected	None
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A zone of disturbed weather developed in the middle of the Atlantic on July 20. After being monitored for possible cyclogenesis, it slowly organized into a tropical depression on July 24, and intensified into Tropical Storm Eliza 6 hours later. The system steadily strengthened, becoming a Category 1 hurricane on July 25. After being a Category 1 for 18 hours, Eliza began a bout of explosive intensification, reaching Category 4 intensity in only 6 hours. On July 27, Eliza became a Category 5 major hurricane, but remained far out at sea. Dry air and increasing wind shear began penetrating the system on August 2, causing rapid weakening to Category 2 status, then to tropical storm status the next day. The tropical storm persisted, but wind shear ultimately tore the system apart at 1800 UTC on August 4.

Hurricane Forrest

Hurricane Forrest

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Forrest after its peak intensity, on August 9
Formed	August 5
Dissipated	August 15
( Remnant low after August 13)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 100 mph (155 km/h)
Lowest pressure	970 mbar ( hPa); 28.64 inHg
Fatalities	17 direct, 0 indirect
Damage	$8.3 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Guadeloupe, Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A non-tropical area of low pressure formed at 0600 UTC on August 4, which was monitored for tropical or subtropical development. After 12 hours, the system began gaining tropical characteristics, and became a subtropical depression at 1800 UTC on August 5. The depression soon intensified into Subtropical Storm Forrest on August 6, taking on tropical characteristics at a rapid pace. It was designated as Tropical Storm Forrest at 1200 UTC on August 6, and then Hurricane Forrest at 0000 UTC on August 7. The cyclone began moving toward the Lesser Antilles while intensifying at a steady pace, becoming a Category 2 hurricane about 350 miles (560 km) east of Guadeloupe. The cyclone moved on a slow westward path and made landfall in Guadeloupe with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h), killing 6 by drowning from a 10 ft storm surge. Forrest briefly weakened to a strong Category 1 hurricane with winds of 90 mph (150 km/h), but quickly reintensified back to Category 2 intensity as it continued onward. The outer fringes of the storm near the eyewall brushed Antigua and Barbuda, causing 1 fatality, as well as Montserrat and Saint Kitts and Nevis, but leaving little damage on both. The cyclone made landfall in Puerto Rico with winds of 95 mph (150 km/h), killing 3 before the storm began turning northwest. Forrest began moving west again, killing 3 in the Dominican Republic and 4 in Haiti. Wind shear began to grow on the system, leading to rapid weakening which reduced Forrest to a remnant low. The remnant of the cyclone finally dissipated to the southeast of the Bahamas, over the Turks and Caicos Islands at 1500 UTC on August 15.

Tropical Storm Gina

Tropical Storm Gina

Tropical storm (SSHWS/NWS)
Tropical Storm Gina nearing Nicaragua on August 24
Formed	August 19
Dissipated	August 27
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 70 mph (110 km/h)
Lowest pressure	988 mbar ( hPa); 29.18 inHg
Fatalities	4 direct, 0 indirect
Damage	$1.26 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Nicaragua
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa at 0750 UTC on August 18. 18 hours later, the wave developed into Tropical Depression Seven on August 19, and became Tropical Storm Gina the next day. The storm followed a consistent westerly path, prompting tropical storm watches to be put into place for much of the Lesser Antilles. Because of the storm's relatively large size, Gina prompted Jamaica and Puerto Rico to also put out tropical storm watches. The watches in the Lesser Antilles soon became tropical storm warnings and hurricane watches, as the storm was beginning to strengthen. Gina slammed into the Lesser Antilles on August 22, killing 3 in total, before weakening due to increasing wind shear. It later caused effects in Puerto Rico and Jamaica before making landfall in Nicaragua at 0000 UTC on August 25, killing 1. The storm weakened rapidly and emerged into the Pacific Ocean with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) and a pressure of 990 mbars (29.23 inHg), persisting for a short amount of time before ultimately dissipating on August 27th at 0955 UTC.

Hurricane Harris

Hurricane Harris

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Harris near peak intensity, on August 29
Formed	August 25
Dissipated	September 3
( Extratropical after September 2)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 80 mph (130 km/h)
Lowest pressure	974 mbar ( hPa); 28.76 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	$1.1 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Nova Scotia, Newfoundland
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A zone of disturbed weather developed in the Caribbean Sea on August 22 and began drifting north-northeast. After being monitored for tropical cyclogenesis, bands of convection began to appear, and the storm became classified as a tropical depression on August 25. The storm continued drifting northeast, and began to intensify over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, becoming Tropical Storm Harris at 0525 UTC on August 26, then Hurricane Harris 6 hours later. Due to the storm’s northeast movement, it threatened Nova Scotia and possibly Newfoundland as a strong extratropical or weak tropical cyclone. Harris meandered toward Nova Scotia, striking near Halifax at 0000 UTC on August 31, weakening as it continued to move northeast. Harris emerged 100 miles (160 km) east of Prince Edward Island as a tropical storm and started losing tropical characteristics on September 1, before proceeding to strike Newfoundland as a low-end tropical storm at 0600 UTC on September 2. The storm became completely extratropical and accelerated to the east before finally dissipating 350 miles (560 km) west of Ireland on September 3.

Hurricane Ivana

Hurricane Ivana

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Ivana nearing Nova Scotia on September 10
Formed	September 7
Dissipated	September 12
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 75 mph (120 km/h)
Lowest pressure	980 mbar ( hPa); 28.94 inHg
Fatalities	1 direct, 0 indirect
Damage	$1.32 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Nova Scotia
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A powerful extratropical system formed to the east of Maine on September 6, and began traveling east. Tropical cyclogenesis began to affect the system, causing it to become a subtropical depression, then eventually a tropical depression, which intensified into Tropical Storm Ivana 6 hours later. Due to its relatively close proximity to Nova Scotia, strong wind gusts and rough seas battered the southern coast, with the worst effects centered in Halifax. The storm began steering to the west and performed a cyclonic loop while about 300 miles (480 km) off the coast of the United States, in a similar way as the 1991 Perfect Storm which lashed the area many years before, with Ivana causing similar effects in New England as the nor'easter. After moving over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, the storm intensified into a Category 1 hurricane on September 9, and began a beeline toward Nova Scotia on September 10. Ivana made direct landfall over Halifax at 2155 UTC and rapidly weakened, emerging from the northern coast as a tropical depression, which itself would make landfall on Prince Edward Island on September 11 at 0630 UTC. The depression continued to rapidly weaken, but began to steer east due to the influence of another extratropical system. Ivana turned southeast, striking Nova Scotia again before being absorbed into the extratropical cyclone.

Tropical Storm James

Tropical Storm James

Tropical storm (SSHWS/NWS)
Tropical Storm James near peak intensity on September 9
Formed	September 8
Dissipated	September 11
( Extratropical after September 10)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 65 mph (100 km/h)
Lowest pressure	990 mbar ( hPa); 29.23 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	None
Areas affected	None
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

The same extratropical system that spawned Hurricane Ivana a day earlier generated a broad area of low pressure on September 7, which would later organize into Tropical Depression Ten on September 8, and organized into Tropical Storm James 12 hours later. Operationally forecast to curve west toward its sibling system, possibly affecting Newfoundland, James started to meander west on September 9. On September 10, the system suddenly turned sharply east, which was originally thought to be because of the Fujiwhara effect from the stronger Ivana, but was actually due to another extratropical system. The storm lost all tropical characteristics at 1800 UTC on September 10, and dissipated 12 hours later.

Tropical Depression Eleven

Tropical Depression Eleven

Tropical depression (SSHWS/NWS)
Tropical Depression Eleven on September 12
Formed	September 11
Dissipated	September 13
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 35 mph (55 km/h)
Lowest pressure	1008 mbar ( hPa); 29.77 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	$1 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Hispaniola, The Bahamas
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on September 8 and rapidly drifted across the Atlantic Ocean. A broad area of low pressure split off on September 10, as the wave continued into the Pacific. The low pressure area became a tropical depression on September 11, but intensification of it into a tropical storm was highly unlikely. The depression drifted across Hispaniola on September 12, and threatened the Bahamas. TD11 did indirectly strike the Bahamas on September 13, but dissipated shortly after. The depression left minimal to no damage in its wake, with Hispaniola sustaining the worst.

Tropical Storm Kaylee

Tropical Storm Kaylee

Tropical storm (SSHWS/NWS)
Tropical Storm Kaylee near peak intensity, on September 17
Formed	September 14
Dissipated	September 20
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 70 mph (110 km/h)
Lowest pressure	999 mbar ( hPa); 29.5 inHg
Fatalities	1 direct, 0 indirect
Damage	$1 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Lesser Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago, ABC islands, Venezuela, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A rather vigorous tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on September 13, and rapidly intensified into Tropical Depression Twelve the next day, then Tropical Storm Kaylee 14 hours later. the storm remained on its westward track, bringing a threat to the Lesser Antilles. Moving quickly, it made landfall in St. Lucia on September 17, retaining strength. It continued west, affecting Trinidad and Tobago before making a second landfall in Venezuela on September 18. The storm weakened slightly as it emerged from Venezuela’s northern coast, whilst effecting the ABC islands. The storm brushed the northern and northwestern coasts of Columbia late on September 18, before moving south and brushing Panama. Kaylee made its final landfall in Costa Rica on September 19, and emerged off the western coast of Costa Rica into the Pacific Ocean as a tropical depression. The depression accelerated north and affected Baja California on September 20 and dissipated later that day.

Hurricane Luke

Hurricane Luke

Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Luke at peak intensity, on September 24
Formed	September 19
Dissipated	October 2
( Remnant low after September 30)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 185 mph (295 km/h)
Lowest pressure	900 mbar ( hPa); 26.58 inHg
Fatalities	118 direct, 37 indirect
Damage	$18.21 billion (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Lesser Antilles, Cuba, Jamaica, Yucatan Peninsula, Cozumel, Texas, Louisiana
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A vigorous tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on September 15, and moved slowly across the Atlantic Ocean. Because of its slow movement over the warm waters of the Atlantic, the wave intensified into Tropical Depression Thirteen on September 19, and became Tropical Storm Luke 6 hours later. After getting within 375 miles (605 km) of the Lesser Antilles, the storm hit a bout of explosive intensification, changing from a tropical storm to a powerful Category 5 hurricane within 36 hours. Luke passed through the Lesser Antilles on September 21, managing to retain intensity as it entered the Caribbean Sea, causing minor effects in Venezuela and Columbia before turning north and striking Jamaica and Cuba on September 22, with the outermost bands of the storm causing effects in the Florida Keys. The storm steered west later that day, passed over Cozumel, and continued into the Yucatan Peninsula before it began moving in an anticyclonic loop, passing over the Yucatan Peninsula again on September 25. After battering the Yucatan Peninsula twice, Luke began trailing north-northwest toward the border of Louisiana and Texas. The storm made landfall on the border of Louisiana and Texas on September 27, causing catastrophic damage in both states. Because of excessive rainfall in both states only days before, Luke weakened slowly over land, pushing far into the United States. The storm became a remnant low on September 30, and was absorbed into an extratropical low on October 2.

Hurricane Meryl

Hurricane Meryl

Category 4 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Meryl after peak intensity, on October 17
Formed	October 10
Dissipated	October 26
( Extratropical after October 24)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 155 mph (250 km/h)
Lowest pressure	943 mbar ( hPa); 27.85 inHg
Fatalities	17 direct, 4 indirect
Damage	$903.1 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, South Carolina, North Carolina
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on October 9, and was monitored for cyclogenesis. The wave was classified as Tropical Depression Fourteen on October 10, and then Tropical Storm Meryl 18 hours later. Much of the Lesser Antilles, which were still trying to recover from Hurricane Luke from weeks previous, began putting out tropical storm watches for a potential strike. Meryl became a hurricane on October 12, prompting hurricane watches. Meryl swept over the Lesser Antilles on October 13, leaving minimal damages on the islands but worsening the effects of Luke. After passing through the Lesser Antilles, Meryl made landfall on Puerto Rico with winds of 85 mph (140 km/h). The hurricane curved north and began rapidly intensifying, becoming a Category 3 on October 14. The hurricane began tracking west-northwest, striking the Bahamas with winds of 125 mph (200 km/h), intensifying into a Category 4 hurricane after emerging over the Gulf Stream on October 17. Meryl made landfall over the Carolinas with winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) causing severe damages to the states, and the influence of a high-pressure system to the west halted the storm's forward movement for several days. The cyclone curved north and started losing its tropical characteristics on October 23, becoming extratropical on October 24 and interacting with another extratropical cyclone, leading to Meryl's remnants being absorbed on October 26.

Hurricane Nathaniel

Hurricane Nathaniel

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Nathaniel near peak intensity, on October 17
Formed	October 15
Dissipated	October 20
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 110 mph (175 km/h)
Lowest pressure	964 mbar ( hPa); 28.47 inHg
Fatalities	5 direct, 2 indirect
Damage	$8.4 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, Texas
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

An ill-defined tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on October 14. The wave was originally forecast to cross over to the Pacific Ocean and become Tropical Depression Nineteen-E, but the cyclone instead became Tropical Depression Fifteen on October 15. The depression was very disorganized, meaning the new tropical cyclone could dissipate within hours of formation. The opposite happened, and the storm became Tropical Storm Nathaniel 16 hours later. Organization rapidly occurred, and the storm became a hurricane the next day. Nathaniel rapidly intensified to Category 2 status in 8 hours. The cyclone began moving in a west-southwest path, with the southern portion of the storm brushing Panama on October 18, before turning north. It remained off the shores of Nicaragua and Honduras before making landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula on October 19. Rapid weakening reduced the storm to a tropical depression, which turned to the west. Nathaniel made its final landfall in Mexico on October 20, where it rapidly lost tropical characteristics. The remains of the storm crossed into Texas and dissipated over the Texas-New Mexico border shortly after.

Hurricane Orla

Hurricane Orla

Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Orla near peak intensity, on November 1
Formed	October 22
Dissipated	November 11
( Remnant low after November 9)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 175 mph (280 km/h)
Lowest pressure	926 mbar ( hPa); 27.34 inHg
Fatalities	82 direct, 9 indirect
Damage	$1.11 billion (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Lesser Antilles, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Cozumel, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A tropical wave moved off the western coast of Africa on October 18, and moved west-northwest. Four days passed without significant development, but it suddenly intensified into a tropical depression on October 22. Initially forecasted to dissipate in a day, the storm unexpectedly intensified into Tropical Storm Orla 15 hours later. The storm began to meander toward the Lesser Antilles, still trying to recover from Luke and Meryl, and on October 24, passed over them with winds of 60 mph (100 km/h), leaving little damage. After entering the Caribbean Sea, the cyclone hit a bout of explosive intensification, becoming a Category 4 hurricane in 30 hours. The storm's gigantic size brought effects to almost all of the islands within the Lesser and Greater Antilles, especially Jamaica. The storm became a Category 5 hurricane on October 26, bringing a serious threat to Central America. Orla made landfall over Nicaragua on October 27, causing extreme damage to the nation. The cyclone emerged back into the Caribbean Sea and brushed Honduras before making a second landfall in Belize at 2355 UTC on October 27, bringing major effects to Belize as well as Guatemala. The storm emerged again and turned north-northeast, towards Florida. A high-pressure system built to Orla's east, pushing the storm away from Florida and towards the Yucatan Peninsula. On November 2, Orla's eye passed about 180 miles (290 km) south of Cozumel, bringing catastrophic damage and undoing the work done to recover from Hurricane Luke. The storm continued west, striking the Yucatan Peninsula on November 4. Orla's forward movement greatly slowed after emerging into the Gulf of Mexico, allowing it to reintensify. It made landfall in Mexico on November 8 with winds of 160 mph (260 km/h) and weakened rapidly after that. The cyclone was reduced to a remnant low on November 9, and it dissipated over Baja California on November 11.

Hurricane Philbert

Hurricane Philbert

Category 4 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Philbert at peak intensity, on November 15
Formed	November 13
Dissipated	November 20
( Extratropical after November 18)
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 155 mph (250 km/h)
Lowest pressure	936 mbar ( hPa); 27.64 inHg
Fatalities	21 direct, 2 indirect
Damage	$985.3 million (20XX USD)
Areas affected	Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Yucatan Peninsula, Florida, The Bahamas
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A broad area of low pressure formed in the Caribbean Sea on November 12, and drifted slowly south. The remnants of Hurricane Orla aided the system in intensification, causing the system to become Tropical Depression Seventeen on November 13. The system started to drift north-northwest, defying the forecast of the system crossing over Panama into the East Pacific basin and dissipating. The depression caused catastrophic damage in Costa Rica due to mudslide-triggering rainfall. The depression intensified into Tropical Storm Philbert 15 hours after formation, and rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane in 20 hours, beating Brody’s record much earlier in the year. Philbert was threatening Central America, which was battered days previous by Orla. The cyclone made landfall in Nicaragua on November 15 at 2355 UTC with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h), worsening the damages left behind by Orla. The storm continued on its path through Central America, worsening the effects of the previous cyclone, but Cozumel was spared from the brunt of the strike. The storm began to drift northeast on November 16, striking Florida with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h), then the Bahamas with winds of 95 mph (155 km/h) as it began to lose its tropical characteristics on November 17, becoming fully extratropical on November 18. The storm continued to drift northeast, then becoming known as Storm Philbert in the 20XX-XX European windstorm season. The cyclone finally dissipated about 355 miles (570 km) off the coast of Norway on November 20.

Hurricane Roxie

Hurricane Roxie

Category 3 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)
Hurricane Roxie at peak intensity on November 17
Formed	November 15
Dissipated	November 19
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 120 mph (195 km/h)
Lowest pressure	947 mbar ( hPa); 27.96 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	None
Areas affected	Bermuda
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A non-tropical area of low pressure formed on November 14. After monitoring for development, a subtropical depression was identified on November 15, which intensified into Subtropical Storm Roxie 6 hours later. The storm began gaining tropical characteristics on November 16, turning into Tropical Storm Roxie and eventually Hurricane Roxie. The hurricane meandered randomly through the Atlantic Ocean, passing 200 miles (320 km) east of Bermuda on November 18, when the cyclone suddenly turned sharply to the east. An extratropical cyclone had formed 550 miles (885 km) north of the cyclone, which began manipulating the steering currents directing Roxie. The hurricane began accelerating to the east, with the forward movement of the storm eroding its wind field. The cold front which was controlling Roxie's steering currents slowly began undermining its circulation, finally absorbing the hurricane into the larger circulation on November 19. This would lead to the formation of a powerful nor’easter that would later be known as “The Perfect Storm 2.”

Tropical Depression Nineteen

Tropical Depression Nineteen

Tropical depression (SSHWS/NWS)
The depression over the open Atlantic on November 15
Formed	November 15
Dissipated	November 16
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 30 mph (45 km/h)
Lowest pressure	1010 mbar ( hPa); 29.83 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	None
Areas affected	None
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

A broad area of low pressure developed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on November 14, and strengthened into Tropical Depression Nineteen the next day. The colder waters led to rapid weakening after classification, leading to the depression dissipating on November 16. During its one day existence, the storm caused large swells that barely affected Bermuda, which was under threat by Hurricane Roxie. The remnants of Nineteen later merged with a cold front and the remains of Tropical Depression Twenty, leading to the formation of a large storm complex over Florida, dropping heavy rain on the state for two days before being absorbed into the Perfect Storm 2.

Tropical Depression Twenty

Tropical Depression Twenty

Tropical depression (SSHWS/NWS)
Twenty nearing Florida on November 16
Formed	November 15
Dissipated	November 17
Highest winds	1-minute sustained: 35 mph (55 km/h)
Lowest pressure	1006 mbar ( hPa); 29.71 inHg
Fatalities	None reported
Damage	None
Areas affected	None
Part of the 20XX Atlantic hurricane season

The remains of a Pacific hurricane crossed over into the Atlantic and merged with a zone of disturbed weather on November 13. After no defined changes, a very weak circulation was detected on November 15, classifying the system as Tropical Depression Twenty. About seven hours after classification, the system began to rapidly intensify, creating the possibility of a Tropical Storm Spencer before the end of the season. Cooling waters in the Gulf of Mexico prevented any form of significant strengthening after reaching its peak, and the system rapidly eroded before dissipating on November 17. The remnants of Twenty later merged with a cold front and the remains of Tropical Depression Nineteen, leading to the formation of a large storm complex over Florida, dropping heavy rain on the state for two days before being absorbed into the Perfect Storm 2.

An extratropical cyclone spawned from an area of low pressure on November 18, and moved east. Hurricane Roxie's steering currents were manipulated by the new cyclone, leading to the hurricane being absorbed into the low on November 19. The contrast between the warm air and moisture from Roxie's remnants and the surrounding cold air led to the extratropical storm evolving into a powerful nor'easter. The storm began moving to the west, bringing high waves, heavy rain, and gale-force winds to much of Atlantic Canada and the Eastern Seaboard before turning back to the east and losing strength. On November 22, the storm appeared to be taking on subtropical characteristics, despite being over waters considered as too cold for tropical transition. At 2255 UTC, the cyclone had become a subtropical cyclone and was moving quickly toward Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. The subtropical storm made landfall in Nova Scotia, near Halifax, at 0000 UTC on November 23. The storm moved over Prince Edward Island and gained tropical characteristics, defying forecasts that the storm would dissipate after moving offshore. The now tropical storm made landfall over Newfoundland on November 23 at 0720 UTC, and rapidly lost tropical characteristics, dissipating at 1355 UTC on November 23 while going unnamed due to significant media interest in the preceding nor'easter. Due to its similarities to the 1991 Perfect Storm, such as how it formed by absorbing a tropical cyclone, the damage and effects it brought, and the way it became tropical late in its life cycle, led to the storm being dubbed “The Perfect Storm 2.”
