Although there were an above-average number of named storms during the season15, most of them were weak and short-lived. Despite the predominance of weak systems, this was the first season on record to feature more than one Category 5 landfalling hurricane. It produced 17 tropical cyclones, 15 tropical storms, six hurricanes, and two major hurricanes. It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean, although as shown by Subtropical Storm Andrea and Tropical Storm Olga in early May and early December, respectively, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year. The first system, Subtropical Storm Andrea, developed on May 9, while the last storm, Tropical Storm Olga, dissipated on December 13. The most intense hurricane, Dean, was, at the time, the third most intense landfalling Atlantic storm on record. It was the second on record in which an Atlantic hurricane, Felix, and an eastern Pacific hurricane, Henriette, made landfall on the same day. September had a then record-tying eight storms, until it was surpassed in 2020. However, the strengths and durations of most of the storms were low. Pre-season forecasts by Colorado State University called for 14 named storms and 7 hurricanes, of which three were expected to attain major hurricane status. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) later issued its initial forecast, which predicted 13 to 17 named storms, 7 to 10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes. After several revisions in the projected number of storms, NOAA and CSU lowered their forecasts by the middle of the season. Several storms made landfall or directly affected land. Hurricanes Dean and Felix made landfall at Category 5 intensity, causing severe damage in parts of Mexico and Central America, respectively. Both storm names, as well as Noel, the name of a hurricane that affected the Caribbean, were retired from the naming list of Atlantic hurricanes. The United States was affected by five cyclones, although the storms were generally weak; three tropical depressions and only two tropical storms, Barry and Gabrielle, and one hurricane, Humberto, made landfall in the country. Elsewhere, three storms directly affected Canada, although none severely. The combined storms killed at least 416 people and caused about $3.24 billion (2007 USD, US 3244423000 2007  USD) in damage.The cumulative damage figures were obtained by summing the damage figures on the individual Tropical Cyclone Reports referenced throughout the article, with the exception of Hurricane Dean. Dean's damage figures were obtained by adding the per-country totals referenced in the Impact section of this article.

Philip J. Klotzbach, William M. Gray, and their associates at Colorado State University issue forecasts of hurricane activity each year, separately from NOAA. Klotzbach's team, formerly led by Gray, determined the average number of storms per season between 1950 and 2000 to be 9.6 tropical storms, 5.9 hurricanes, and 2.3 major hurricanes (storms exceeding Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson scale).Philip J.

It listed a 64 percent chance of at least one major hurricane striking the U.S. mainland. This included a 40 percent chance of at least one major hurricane strike on the East Coast, including the Florida peninsula, and a 40 percent chance of at least one such strike on the Gulf Coast from the Florida Panhandle westward. The potential for major hurricane activity in the Caribbean was forecast to be above average, and the team predicted that El Niño, associated with reduced hurricane activity in the Atlantic, would dissipate by the active portion of the season. On April 3 a new forecast was issued, calling for a very active hurricane season of 17 named storms, nine hurricanes and five intense hurricanes.http://newsinfo.colostate.edu/index.asp?url=news_item_display&news_item_id=718105263 https://web.archive.org/web/20100610142200/http://www.news.colostate.edu/Release/830 2010-06-10 Colorado State forecast team calls for very active 2007 hurricane season Colorado State University 2007-04-03 2007-04-03 dead The increase in the forecast was attributed to the rapid dissipation of El Niño conditions.

Team members noted that conditions had become slightly less favorable for storms than earlier in the year. Sea surface temperature anomalies were cooler, and several Saharan Air Layer events had suppressed development of tropical cyclones. El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions were also noted to have been slightly cooler.Philip J. Klotzbach William M.

When Hurricane Felix was upgraded to a Category 5 storm on September 2, it became the eighth to form in this basin since 2000. This gave the decade more hurricanes of such strength than any other on record. Hurricane Humberto was the first hurricane to make landfall in Texas since Hurricane Claudette in 2003. Overall, the season's activity was reflected with a cumulative accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 73.9, which is below the long-term average of 93, and the lowest since 2002.2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2007&basin=atl 2025-09-01 www.nhc.noaa.gov 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 deepened steadily along a cold front that pushed through Florida. After losing most of its baroclinic support, development ceased until its low moved into warmer waters near the Bahamas. However, interaction between the low and a strong high-pressure system to the north generated hurricane-force winds in the system. Decreasing wind shear allowed deeper convection to develop much closer to the center. By May 9, the system had transitioned into Subtropical Storm Andrea about 140 mi km on 5 southeast of Savannah, Georgia,http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/al01/al012007.public.001.shtml?

Andrea then moved southward into an environment with higher wind shear, weakening to a subtropical depression on May 10. The storm degenerated into a remnant low on the next day about 70 mi km on 5 east of Ponce Inlet, Florida, as all significant convection had disappeared. Following intermittent bursts of convection, an advancing cold front pushed Andrea's remnants northward and eventually absorbed the system. Andrea was the first pre-season storm to develop since Tropical Storm Ana in April 2003 and the first Atlantic named storm in May since Tropical Storm Arlene in 1981.https://www.naplesnews.com/story/weather/hurricanes/2023/05/21/national-hurricance-center-tracking-system-off-florida-low-chance-development-forecast-path-arlene/70241296007/ 2023-05-21 Cheryl McCloud Naples Daily News NHC tracking area of 'disturbed weather' off Florida with low chance for development 2025-11-30 Because Andrea never made landfall, most of the resulting damage was associated with large waves, higher than normal tides, associated coastal flooding, and beach erosion.

The low organized into a tropical depression just north of the Yucatán Channel on June 1, the first day of the hurricane season. Six hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Barry. The storm moved north-northeastward and reached its peak intensity early on June 2 with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 997 mbar inHg on. However, strong wind shear weakened Barry to a tropical depression before it made landfall on Anna Maria Island, Florida, several hours later. Barry became extratropical late on June 2 over eastern Georgia, but its remnants continued up the East Coast of the United States before being absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone over eastern Quebec on June 5.Lixion Avila Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Barry National Hurricane Center 2007-06-22 2025-11-29 AL022007_Barry PDF https://web.archive.org/web/20070714135359/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TCR-AL022007_Barry.pdf 14 July 2007 live The precursor to Barry dropped heavy rains in parts of Cuba, with Sancti Spíritus Province recording up to 12 in mm on.

After remaining nearly stationary northeast of the Bahamas, the system began organizing on July 28 as the motion became more northerly. On July 30, the low passed to the west of Bermuda as the thunderstorms became more organized. On July 31, Tropical Depression Three developed about 270 mi km north-northwest of Bermuda. Convection increased further over the center, and at around 06:00 UTC on July 31 the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Chantal. The storm continued northeastward, under the influence of a mid-level trough, and quickly reached peak winds of 50 mph km/h on. The storm tracked through an area of progressively cold waters and cooler air, causing Chantal to weaken. On August 1, the storm transitioned into an extratropical storm within the approaching cold front. Midday on August 1, the cyclone struck Newfoundland along the Avalon Peninsula, hitting the Placentia Area with full force. It subsequently intensified to attain winds of near hurricane-force. On August 3 the cyclone underwent a final weakening trend in the far northern Atlantic Ocean, and on August 5 the extratropical remnants of Chantal merged with another extratropical cyclone to the east of Iceland.Richard Pasch 2007-10-18 Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Chantal National Hurricane Center 2025-12-03 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL032007_Chantal.pdf PDF 2015-10-02 https://web.archive.org/web/20151002011406/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL032007_Chantal.pdf liveMainelli 2007 July 29 Tropical Weather Outlook 2007-07-31 National Hurricane Center dead ftp://ftp.met.fsu.edu/pub/weather/tropical/Outlook-A/2007072909.ABNT20 Franklin 2007 Tropical Depression Three Discussion One National Hurricane Center 2007-08-01 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/al03/al032007.discus.001.shtml?Blake 2007 Tropical Storm Chantal Discussion Four National Hurricane Center 2007-08-01 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/al03/al032007.discus.004.shtml?Fogarty & Roussel 2007 Post-Tropical Storm Chantal Intermediate Information Statement at 12:30 PM ADT Wednesday August 1, 2007 Canadian Hurricane Centre 2007-08-01 http://www.atl.ec.gc.ca/weather/hurricane/bulletins/20070801145621.Chantal.txt.en dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110611123144/http://www.atl.ec.gc.ca/weather/hurricane/bulletins/20070801145621.Chantal.txt.en June 11, 2011 On Bermuda, the L.F.

Noel intensified into a hurricane on the following day and peaked with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 980 mbar inHg on, before being extratropical several hours later roughly 275 mi km on 5 southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Tracking northward, Noel crossed Atlantic Canada as a powerful extratropical cyclone and emerged into the Labrador Sea prior to merging with another extratropical system on November 6 over Greenland.Daniel P.

Tropical Storm Olga Atl Olga 2007-12-11 0208Z.jpg Olga 2007 path.png December 11 December 12 50 1003 Tropical Storm Olga (2007) In the second week of December, after the official end of the hurricane season, a low developed east of the northernmost Lesser Antilles. It slowly acquired tropical characteristics, and early on December 11, the National Hurricane Center declared it Subtropical Storm Olga near Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Moving westward, Olga struck Puerto Rico near Vega Baja several hours later. Crossing the Mona Passage, the system transitioned into a tropical storm and peaked with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 1003 mbar inHg on by the time it made landfall in the Dominican Republic near Punta Cana late on December 11. Olga weakened over Hispaniola and emerged into the Caribbean on December 12. Land interaction, as well as strong wind shear and dry air, caused Olga to weaken into a remnant low late on December 12. The remnants reached Florida by December 16, at which time they were absorbed by a cold front.Michelle Mainelli Tropical Storm Olga Tropical Cyclone Report 2008-01-24 National Hurricane Center http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL172007_Olga.pdf 2016-03-05 2016-03-04 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304225216/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL172007_Olga.pdf live The storm impacted many areas affected by Tropical Storm Noel a month earlier.
