Three tropical cyclones reached hurricane status of which only one became a major hurricane, which is a Category 3 or greater on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. An average season, as defined by NOAA, has 6 to 14 named storms, with 4 to 8 of those reaching hurricane strength, and with 3 hurricanes becoming major hurricanes. The second storm is given the name that begins with a "B." Each spring, the WMO occasionally retires hurricane names of destructive storms. Cindy did not affect any landmasses. Subsequently, the cyclone weakened to minimal tropical storm status,[42] and by September 14, Dennis was expected to immediately weaken to tropical depression status. The six lists above are used in rotation and re-cycled every six years, i.e., the 2019 list will be used again in 2025. [40] Slick roads caused three tractor-trailers to jackknife along a 2-mile (3 km) portion of the Capital Beltway. Just over 21 inches (0.53 m) of rainfall was associated with the storm, causing flash flooding and water damage amounting to $7.4 million (1987 USD, $13.3 million in 2008 USD).

Additionally, four people required rescue assistance after being trapped in swollen creeks. 2. It moved northwestward, and entered a high-shear environment due to an upper level low situated toward the end of a high pressure system. [3] Tropical Depression Two was upgraded into a tropical storm in post-season analysis, and as a result has no name. 69 However, after high pressures to its east forced the storm northward, more favorable conditions allowed Arlene to intensify into a hurricane on August 22. ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 34 knots (39 mph, 63 km/h) or tropical storm strength. [46], A tropical depression, the tenth of the season, formed on September 20. [18] A trough of low pressure near Bermuda initially inhibited strengthening. It moved towards Florida and stalled off the coast, with a prediction to cause thundershowers across the state on May 28. [12] The tropical depression weakened on June 1, the official start of the hurricane season.

This list may not reflect recent changes . The June 2, 1987, report suggested that eight tropical storms would form during the 1987 season, five of them becoming hurricanes. The list begins in 1851. Hurricane names are chosen by the World Meteorological Organization. The use of easily remembered names greatly reduces confusionwhen two or moretropical storms occur at the same time. Each spring, the WMO occasionally retires hurricane names of destructive storms. Atlantic Pronunciation Guide (PDF) Since 1953, Atlantic tropical storms had been named from lists originatedby the National Hurricane Center. 9 The weakening system accelerated to the northeast, and dissipated over Georgia on August 17. Storm names are retired if they were so deadly or destructive that the future use of the name would be insensitive. It passed through the Florida Keys before entraining cooler, drier air from a stationary frontal boundary. [19], As Arlene approached, islanders of Bermuda were warned to board up windows, with winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) expected.

On September 19 it turned to the northeast, and on September 20 Dennis merged with an extratropical low. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave or a low. [18] Convection became more organized, and the storm was classified Tropical Depression Three on August 10 over the Bahamas.

Note: Because of COVID-19, the World Meteorological Organization’s Hurricane Committee will not address 2019 storm name retirements until the Spring 2021 meeting, which will consider the potential retirement of any 2019 and 2020 hurricane names. For that reason, the World Meteorological Organization develops a list of names that are assigned in alphabetical order to tropical storms as they are discovered in each hurricane season. There are six lists of names for Atlantic and Pacific storms. There are six lists of tropical cyclone names, 21 names for Atlantic storms and 24 names for eastern North Pacific storms. Giving people's names to severe storms apparently began in Australia in the 19 th century, when Clement L.

Names normally get retired due to a large number of deaths and lots of damage. The 1987 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average hurricane season that was limited by an ongoing El Niño. Total damages The following names will be used to name tropical and subtropical cyclones in the 1987 season. (When a name is retired, it’s replaced by a new name.) The list begins in 1851. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still storm-related. The following names were used to name tropical cyclones in the 1985 Atlantic hurricane season. [26], A tropical depression formed off the African coast on August 31, in which forecasters predicted would become the third tropical storm of the season. Deaths in parentheses will be additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still related to that storm. [58] Names that were not assigned are marked in gray. [14] It quickly strengthened into a tropical storm, though the strengthening was not known until post-season analysis. A burst of convection organized over the depression, and brought strong wind gusts to the Florida Keys as it passed through the area on November 2. [15] It turned to the southeast and reached the Gulf of Mexico. Forecasts of hurricane activity are issued before each hurricane season by hurricane expert Dr. William M. Gray and his associates at Colorado State University. Bret was moving at 17 mph (27 km/h) to the east on August 21.

This is a cumulative list of previously used tropical cyclone (tropical storm and hurricane) names which have been permanently removed from reuse in the North Atlantic region.. [8] ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. It maintained its identity as it tracked through North Carolina and the Mid-Atlantic States, and on September 10 the depression merged with a frontal wave over New England. Total fatalities [31] It degenerated into a tropical wave on September 4, never affecting land or reaching storm-intensity. No damage or fatalities were reported. No names were retired, so it was used again in the 1993 season. [4], The United States was affected by four tropical cyclones in 1987, of which three struck Florida. The system turned to the northeast, and merged with a weak extratropical low over northern Florida on November 4.

Within the Central Pacific basin—between 140°W and the International Date Line at 180°—four names have been retired since the introduction of the modern naming list for the basin in 1979. The first hurricane name retired was Carol, a category 3 hurricane (up to 129 mph winds) at its worst when it hit landfall Aug. 31, 1954, in the Northeast. [19] Operationally, it was upgraded two days earlier, based on the appearance of an eye feature on satellite imagery. [16][17], 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. Tropical Depression Fourteen was the deadliest storm of the season, causing six deaths as it passed across Jamaica. The only time that there is a change in the list is if a storm is so deadlyor costly that the future use of its name o… [26], The cyclone moved a westward course of 20—25 mph (40 km/h) and reached its peak intensity of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) winds and 1000 millibars in pressure on August 20. No names were retired by the Hurricane Committee after the 1981, 1982, 1984, 1986, or 1987 seasons, which was the most of any decade since the introduction of the practice of retiring hurricane names. Seven of the depressions strengthened into tropical storms, six of them named. The following names were retired by the World Meteorological Association (WMO) and will never be used again to name a tropical cyclone. This is because the Australian Bureau of Meteorlogy didn't start giving cyclones men's names until 1976. the National Weather Service in the USA didn't start until 1979. Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki is a FANDOM Lifestyle Community. [1] The final storm of the year, Tropical Depression Fourteen, merged with a weak extratropical low on November 4. Of the seven cyclones that attained tropical storm status, three did not affect land.

[55], Rainfall was experienced as far north as eastern Georgia and extreme southern South Carolina. Hurricanes The tropical storm made landfall near High Island, Texas, on August 10, and quickly weakened to a tropical depression as it moved northeastward. [33] A trough of low pressure moved southeastward through the tropics, and brought the wave more towards the north. This is the same list that was utilized in the 1975 season, with the exception of Enobaria, which replaced Eloise.Storms were named Enobaria, Ingrid, Julia, and Kitty for the first (and only, in the case of Enobaria) time this year. The following names were retired by the World Meteorological Association (WMO) and will never be used again to name a tropical cyclone. Atlantic tropical cyclone name lists repeat every six years unless a storm is so severe that the Hurricane Committee votes to retire that name from future lists. Names retired in the Central Pacific basin. Damage and deaths will include totals while the storm was extratropical or a wave or low, and all of the damage figures are in 1987 USD.
