It led to deaths … Then that name is replaced on its list with another short, distinctive name of the same letter as the name retired. About 12 hours later, Katia intensified into a hurricane. In the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), widespread destruction was reported on Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix. [51] On the island of Tobago, a man's house collapsed on him; he eventually succumbed to his injuries a week later. A number of homes and buildings suffered damage. Lists of Atlantic hurricanes, or tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, are organized by the properties of the hurricane or by the location most affected. [24], September featured copious activity, with four hurricanes forming: Jose, Katia, Lee, and Maria,[37] the final of which became the tenth-most-intense Atlantic hurricane on record. Max Mayfield, former director of the NHC, clarified that the name had no relation to Trump and was chosen in 2006 as a replacement for Dennis. The storm and its remnants spawned 18 tornadoes throughout the eastern United States, which caused just over $1.1 million in damage. [92] The storm devastated several Leeward Islands. After much of the convection diminished, the depression degenerated into a tropical wave late on July 7. [15] During August 9, NOAA released their final outlook for the season, raising their predictions to 14–19 named storms, though retaining 5–9 hurricanes and 2–5 major hurricanes. Steered northwestward by a weak subtropical ridge to the northeast, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Nate around 06:00 UTC on October 5, about six hours before it made landfall in northeastern Nicaragua. [54], In mid-June, two tropical waves and an area of disturbed weather began merging over the western Caribbean Sea. Early on October 16, Ophelia ceased to be a tropical cyclone after merging with a strong cold front about 310 mi (500 km) southwest of Mizen Head, Ireland. Consequently, wind damage was generally minor. [61] It began to show signs of organization over the central Atlantic early on July 3,[60] but the chances for development began to decrease two days later as the system moved toward a more stable environment. After peaking with sustained winds of 60 mph (97 km/h) on June 21, Cindy weakened slightly prior to making landfall in Louisiana just east of Sabine Pass on June 22. The season concluded with Tropical Storm Rina, which became extratropical on November 9. [111] When Jose reached peak intensity, it marked the first time on record in the Atlantic basin that two hurricanes, the other being Irma, occurring simultaneously had maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h). casualties and damages, and the post-analysis best track (six-hourly Thereafter, northerly wind shear, drier air, and upwelled seas ushered in a weakening trend of the storm. 1 of 31. [68], A tropical wave emerged into the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa on July 27. After reaching the eastern Caribbean on August 3, convection began increasing. Late on October 7, Nate peaked with sustained winds of 90 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 981 mbar (29.0 inHg). [151] However, after the storm became extratropical, it strengthened, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h),[152] before being absorbed by a larger extratropical system, Windstorm Perryman, on September 4.[153][154]. In the Greater Houston area, flooding damaged or destroyed more than 300,000 buildings and homes and about 500,000 cars. [118] Agricultural losses alone reached about $2.85 million,[119] while infrastructural damage totaled about $407,000. In Trinidad, the storm produced sustained winds of 48 mph (77 km/h) and gusts up to 71 mph (114 km/h) at Guayaguayare. These 2017 Hurricane Names Will Be Retired. [66] Don attained its peak intensity at this time, characterized by winds of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) as measured by reconnaissance aircraft. [13] Early the next day, the system re-strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane while curving northward around the edge of mid-level high over the western Atlantic. Tropical cyclones include depressions, storms and hurricanes. Philippe reached its peak intensity of 40 mph (64 km/h) as recorded on Grand Cayman. Most of the deaths from this season occurred from Maria. These agencies include the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of the University College London, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Colorado State University (CSU). [37], A potent extratropical cyclone formed well east of Bermuda on April 16. The storm then peaked with winds of 60 mph (97 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 1,001 mbar (29.6 inHg). Late on October 11, the cyclone intensified into a hurricane and began curving northeastward in response to southwesterly flow associated with a broad mid-latitude trough and an approaching cold front. [3] In addition, the numbering that a potential tropical cyclone receives would be retained for the rest of the hurricane season, meaning that the next tropical system would be designated with the following number, even though potential tropical cyclones do not qualify as tropical cyclones. [89] Harvey caused 36 deaths in Harris County alone, with all but three linked to freshwater flooding. [38] As Irma also persisted into September and reached Category 5 intensity, it and Maria marked the first recorded instance of two Category 5 hurricanes occurring in the same month. The storm devastated some islands in the Bahamas, especially Great Inagua and Crooked islands, with 70% of homes damaged on the former. [12], CSU updated their forecast on June 1 to include 14 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes, to include Tropical Storm Arlene. [13] It was based on the current status of the North Atlantic oscillation, which was showing signs of leaning towards a negative phase, favoring a warmer tropical Atlantic; and the chances of El Niño forming were significantly lower. Although initially non-tropical in appearance, the low gradually shed its extratropical characteristics while tracking over sea surface temperatures of 81 °F (27 °C), anomalously warm for the region. Because the cyclone had an asymmetrical structure, heavy rainfall was observed over southeastern Mississippi, southwestern Alabama, and the far western Florida Panhandle, while lesser precipitation amounts fell over Louisiana and Texas. [114], In preparation for Katia, over 4,000 residents were evacuated from the states of Veracruz and Puebla. Ophelia meandered northward, northeastward, and then southeastward over the next few days due to a subtropical ridge to its south and a mid-latitude ridge north of the storm. Here is the list of names for the current hurricane season. The system peaked with winds of 85 mph (137 km/h) and a pressure of 981 mbar (28.97 inHg) around 00:00 UTC the next day. [30] August yielded four storms—Franklin, Gert, Harvey, and Irma—all of which intensified into hurricanes. [127] By 09:00 UTC on September 26, however, the storm attained Category 2 strength. [5] On December 14, CSU released a qualitative discussion detailing five possible scenarios for the 2017 season, taking into account the state of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and the possibility of El Niño developing during the season. [24] Overall, September's ACE value represented activity about three-and-a-half times more active than the 1981–2010 average for the month. After an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity later on, as well as the development of a well-defined circulation, the system was classified as Tropical Storm Bret while located about 185 mi (298 km) east-southeast of Trinidad at 18:00 UTC on June 19. Several other communities observed rainfall in excess of 10 in (250 mm). Another notable hurricane, Nate, was the worst natural disaster in Costa Rican history. The system continued to intensify, and developed into Tropical Storm Don just six hours later. After striking Barbados and Saint Vincent, Harvey entered the Caribbean Sea, where it encountered hostile wind shear. Ophelia became the easternmost major hurricane on record in the Atlantic. In addition, tropical Atlantic Ocean temperatures—previously below average in months prior to the start of the season—underwent rapid warming by late May, providing lower sea level pressures, weaker trade winds, increased mid-level moisture, and all-around a more conducive environment for above-average activity. Arlene would likely not have been detected without the help of satellites, and there may well have been other similar storms this early in the year in the pre-satellite era (1966 and before). A reconnaissance aircraft investigating the system east of the Caribbean on September 5 found the cyclone at Category 5 intensity. Although environmental conditions were favorable, the wave failed to Thereafter, Gert began to rapidly weaken as it moved into sharply cooler waters. However, coastal flooding mainly consisted of roads being inundated, while some beach erosion occurred. Here's the reasoning behind the decision and what the new names will be. The same names are used every six years, but storms that are incredibly deadly or costly are retired, meaning the name is replaced. 2011 (Pacific) In early October, Hurricane Nate became the fastest-moving tropical cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico on record and the third hurricane to strike the contiguous United States in 2017. The cyclone weakened slightly before striking Louisiana near the mouth of the Mississippi River around 00:00 UTC on October 8. All Barbudans who stayed during the storm left for Antigua afterwards, leaving the island uninhabited for the first time in 300 years. [138] The storm cut off drinking water to nearly 500,000 people, and left 18,500 without power. Maria weakened as it continued northward, falling below major hurricane intensity again by early on September 24. [142], On October 16, a tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa and entered the Atlantic. [94] The British Virgin Islands experienced $3.47 billion in damage and four deaths,[36][95] with numerous buildings and roads destroyed in Tortola. [146], In early November, the NHC began to monitor a non-tropical area of low pressure in the central Atlantic, which had formed at the end of a decaying cold front, for potential tropical development. [148] In preparation for a potential tropical cyclone, tropical storm watches and warnings were issued in South Carolina and North Carolina beginning on August 27. [129], On September 12, a well-defined tropical wave emerged into the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa. Moving northeastward due to a large mid-latitude trough over the southeastern United States and western Gulf of Mexico, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Philippe about six hours later. Land interaction disrupted the storm temporarily, but once again it strengthened to acquire winds of 130 mph (210 km/h), before making landfall on Cudjoe Key in the Florida Keys early on September 10. This season is also one of only seven years on record to feature multiple Category 5 hurricanes and the only season other than 2007 with two hurricanes making landfall at that intensity. [70] The storm indirectly led to flooding in Miami and Miami Beach, where 6.97 in (177 mm) of rain fell in 3.5 hours, of which 2.17 in (55 mm) fell in just 30 minutes. Miami, FL, 33165 [63] The disturbance began to show signs of organization early on July 17,[64] and a tropical depression formed at 06:00 UTC that day. Up until recently, the list of names was decided and released by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Career Opportunities, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Supplemental rainfall observations from Harvey are available. [11] On May 26, TSR updated its prediction to around the same numbers as its December 2016 prediction, with only a minor change in the expected ACE index amount to 98 units. Hurricanes for 2017 are named from the tropical storm they developed from. Along the coastline of the mainland United States, tropical storm-force gusts cut power to hundreds of citizens; rip currents offshore led to four deaths and numerous water rescues. In mid September, Hurricane Maria became the first Category 5 hurricane in history to strike the island of Dominica. (When a name is retired, it’s replaced by a new name.) Nonetheless, Rina strengthened into a strong tropical storm with peak winds of 60 mph (97 km/h), while located about 750 mi (1,200 km) south-southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. [23] Among the busiest on record, the season produced eighteen tropical depressions, all but one of which further intensified into tropical storms. 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. These dates historically describe the period of year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. Extensive tree damage also occurred. [122] The NHC monitored the remnants of Lee intermittently for several days, but regeneration was not considered likely. Moving northeastward into a region of increasing wind shear and ocean temperatures less than 73 °F (23 °C), Ophelia began rapidly weakening early on October 15, while a strong upper-level trough and jet stream flow caused the storm to begin losing tropical characteristics. [122] On October 1, Lee's remnant was absorbed by another extratropical cyclone to the north. [147], The NHC began monitoring a tropical wave that just emerged off the coast of Africa on August 13, which was expected to merge with an area of low pressure southwest of Cape Verde within a few days. The names of four deadly hurricanes that slammed parts of the United States, Central America and the Caribbean last year are being retired. [50], A low-latitude tropical wave emerged into the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa on June 13. Maria then accelerated eastward to east-northeastward across the Atlantic, before becoming extratropical about 535 mi (861 km) southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. [120] Coincidentally, the storm struck Mexico just days after a major earthquake struck the country, worsening the aftermath and recovery. [45] The season ultimately featured three storms that produced an ACE value above 40 units, the first occurrence on record. During this time the storm accelerated northward between a ridge to its east and a trough to its west, and merged with this complex extratropical system around 18:00 UTC on November 9. About five hours later, Franklin made landfall in Vega de Alatorre, Veracruz. They will be replaced with Harold, Idalia, Margot, and Nigel for the 2023 season, respectively. After attaining peak winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) early on April 21, the storm began to revolve counterclockwise around a larger extratropical low. Throughout the island, Maria moderately damaged 294,286 homes, extensively damaged 8,688 homes, and completely destroyed 4,612 homes. [10] On May 25, NOAA released their prediction, citing a 70% chance of an above average season due to "a weak or nonexistent El Niño", calling for 11–17 named storms, 5–9 hurricanes, and 2–4 major hurricanes. [56] Due to Cindy's weak nature, only a few locations observed sustained tropical storm force winds. By 00:00 UTC the following day, it intensified into Tropical Storm Gert. [26], At least 3,364 fatalities were recorded and damage totaled $294.92 billion,[27] cementing the 2017 season as the costliest in recorded history and the deadliest season since 2005. [91], A westward-moving tropical wave developed into a tropical depression about 140 mi (230 km) west-southwest of São Vicente in the Cape Verde Islands at 00:00 UTC on August 30, just six hours before becoming Tropical Storm Irma. Nate rapidly weakened to a tropical storm just 40 minutes later and then to a tropical depression late on October 8. [51] On the mainland, about 800 families were significantly affected in Miranda state, of whom 400 lost their homes. The storm tied the record for the costliest tropical cyclone and broke the record for most rainfall dropped by a tropical cyclone in the United States, with extreme flooding in the Houston area. With four names retired, the 2017 season is tied with the 1955, 1995, and 2004 seasons for the second-highest number of storm names retired after a single Atlantic season, surpassed only by the 2005 season, which had five retired names.[158]. [40], Dominica sustained catastrophic damage from Maria, with nearly every structure on the island damaged or destroyed. Nate caused at least 50 deaths, including 16 in Nicaragua,[136] 14 in Costa Rica,[141] 7 in Panama, 5 in Guatemala, 3 in Honduras,[136] 4 in the United States,[136][140] and 1 in El Salvador, with a further 9 missing accumulative of all affected areas. [49] Additionally, unrelated to Arlene, Tropical Storm Adrian in the Eastern Pacific basin also formed before the corresponding hurricane season was set to officially begin, being the earliest-named storm in the Eastern Pacific proper. [150] Consequently, the NHC issued its last advisory on the system at 21:00 UTC on August 29, declaring the system to be an extratropical low. Irma resulted in at least 92 deaths in the United States. Contents 1 By property [93] In the former, about 90% of homes were damaged, with 60% of those being considered uninhabitable. [123][124] However, the mid-level remnants of the tropical cyclone became intertwined with an upper-level trough; a deep burst of convection led to a new surface circulation, and by 12:00 UTC on September 22, the system reorganized into Tropical Depression Lee. NAMES OF U.S. HURRICANES: ATLANTIC BASIN AND EASTERN NORTH-PACIFIC. Every year, the National Hurricane Center releases the list of names for the Hurricane Season. Despite land interaction with Central America, Nate weakened minimally before re-emerging into the Caribbean from the north coast of Honduras early the next day. Slightly over a week later, Hurricane Ophelia became the easternmost major hurricane in the Atlantic basin on record, and later impacted most of northern Europe as an extratropical cyclone. [28], The extremely active season came to fruition through a multitude of different factors. The storm steadily weakened over the southeastern United States before losing tropical characteristics in Georgia early on September 12. Collectively, the tropical cyclones were responsible for at least 3,364 deaths—the most fatalities in a single season since 2005. At 01:15 UTC on September 19, Maria struck the island with winds of 165 mph (266 km/h). Nate accelerated north-northwestward due to strong deep-layer south-southeasterly flow, with the storm reaching the Gulf of Mexico by early on October 7. Jose then stalled offshore New England due to a mid-latitude ridge over Quebec. [75] Near the storm's second landfall location, precipitation peaked at 16.14 in (410 mm) in Las Vigas de Ramírez, Veracruz, while two other observation sites recorded nearly 13 in (330 mm) of rain. [131] By the end of January 2018, only about 65% of electricity on the island had been restored. The 2017 Hurricane Season is here and a full list of this season's storm names has been released. Any country may request that the name of a hurricane be “… [20] TSR lowered their forecast numbers on April 5, 2017, to 11 named storms, 4 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes, based on recent trends favoring the development of El Niño. Around 14:45 UTC, Emily made landfall on Longboat Key. However, wind shear again increased, and Lee opened up into a trough around 12:00 UTC on September 20. Heavy rains flooded some rivers and caused a few landslides. Today, the entity responsible for choosing the official hurricane names is the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). [72] However, its mid-level circulation remained intact and later contributed to the formation of Tropical Storm Jova in the Eastern Pacific early on August 12. [36] Sint Maarteen received about $1.5 billion in damage and four deaths occurred there. [4], The first forecast for the year was issued by TSR on December 13, 2016. [14] [23], The seasonal activity was reflected with an Accumulated Cyclone Energy index value of 225 units, the seventh-highest value on record in the Atlantic. This shows how the name lists are recycled every six years. [8] The next day, on April 18, North Carolina State University released their prediction, also predicting a near-average season, with a total of 11–15 named storms, 4–6 hurricanes, and 1–3 major hurricanes. The system weakened to a tropical depression early on August 19 and then degenerated into a tropical wave several hours later. [146], The storm produced heavy rainfall in the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Florida, and the Bahamas. [36] The storm's toll in the USVI included four deaths and about $2.4 billion in damage. Reaching a forward speed of 29 mph (47 km/h), Nate became the fastest-moving tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the predicted El Niño failed to develop, with cool-neutral conditions developing instead, later progressing to a La Niña—the second one in a row. [31] Harvey attained Category 4 status prior to reaching the Texas coastline, ending the record streak of 4,323 days without a major hurricane landfall in the United States;[32] with damage estimates up to $125 billion, Harvey is tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest natural disaster on record in the United States. [35] Irma ravaged the northern Leeward Islands and produced a trail of destruction through the Greater Antilles and Southeast United States. Someone named Bob was the first male recipient of a Hurricane named after him. Damage totaled about $500 million. [142] With approximately €68.7 million (US$81.1 million) in damage,[144] Ophelia was considered the worst storm in Ireland in 50 years. In terms of sustained winds, Irma, at the time, became the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin outside of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, with maximum sustained winds of 180 mph (285 km/h); it was later surpassed in 2019 by Hurricane Dorian. [34], The hurricane made landfall in Texas between Port Aransas and Port O'Connor around 03:00 UTC on August 26, possessing maximum winds of 130 mph (210 km/h). [51] The remnants later contributed to the formation of Hurricane Dora in the eastern Pacific. The season also had the highest accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) since 2005, with a record three hurricanes each generating an ACE of over 40: Irma, Jose, and Maria. However, if you compare the names in the lists, you will see that Matthew and Otto will not be reused in 2022. each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, After a steady increase in convection beginning on October 8, the low transitioned into Tropical Storm Ophelia about 875 mi (1,410 km) west-southwest of the Azores. [117] Approximately 77,000 people were left without power at the height of the storm. [34] Rockport, Fulton, and the surrounding cities were particularly hard hit. The 2017 list starts with Arlene and ends at Whitney. In other states, the storm left relatively minor flooding, some wind damage, and power outages. Bret intensified slightly further, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) around 02:00 UTC the following day. [71] Total damage from Emily was estimated to be near US$10 million. The World Meteorological Organization shared a list of 21 names that will be used to name potential tropical cyclones formed in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean in 2017. [100] Approximately 50,000 boats were damaged or destroyed. [24], The season's first tropical cyclone, Arlene, developed on April 19 and became only the second tropical storm on record during the month. Amid an environment of low wind shear and warm ocean temperatures, Irma rapidly strengthened, becoming a hurricane early on August 31 and then a major hurricane less than 24 hours thereafter.
