The season officially began on June 1, 1983, and lasted until November 30, 1983. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most storms form in the Atlantic basin. The season had very little activity, with only seven tropical depressions, four of which reached tropical storm strength or higher. This led to the lowest accumulated cyclone energy count since 1977. The season began later than normal; the first tropical depression formed on July 23 and the second on July 27. Neither tropical depressions strengthened and they dissipated soon thereafter. Hurricane Alicia formed as Tropical Depression Three on August 15, quickly intensified into a hurricane on August 16 and made landfall in Texas on August 18. Alicia caused $3 billion in damage in Texas. Hurricane Barry formed on August 25, crossed Florida and strengthened into a hurricane. Barry made landfall near the Mexico–United States border, and dissipated over land on August 30. Hurricane Chantal, the third and final hurricane in 1983, formed on September 10. It strengthened into a hurricane, but stayed out at sea, and was absorbed by a frontal system on September 15. Tropical Depression Six formed on September 18 and caused heavy rains in the Caribbean before degenerating into a wave on September 20. Tropical Storm Dean was the final storm of the season, forming on September 26. It originally tracked to the north, peaking at 65 mph km/h on winds, and made landfall in the Delmarva Peninsula on September 29. It dissipated over the coast of Virginia on the following day. __TOC__ Seasonal forecasts +Predictions of tropical activity in the 1983 seasonSourceDateNamedstormsHurricanesMajorhurricanesRefAverage (1981–2010) 12.1 6.4 2.7 Climate Prediction Center http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/background_information.shtml Background Information: The North Atlantic Hurricane Season National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration August 9, 2012 College Park, Maryland April 11, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130311152341/http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/background_information.shtml March 11, 2013Record high activity30157†North Atlantic Ocean Historical Tropical Cyclone Statistics http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northatlantic Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado July 18, 2023 June 4, 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230604150511/http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northatlantic liveRecord low activity10†0†CSUJuly 23, 198385N/AMary Vorobril July 23, 1983 Five-hurricane season predicted new—though fallible—technique also forecasts a busy 1984 period Miami Herald 3A April 5, 2021 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/75159133/the-miami-herald/ Newspapers.com December 2, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221202130140/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/75159133/the-miami-herald/ live Actual activity 431† Most recent of several such occurrences. (See all) Forecasts of hurricane activity are issued before each hurricane season by noted hurricane experts such as Dr. William M. Gray and his associates at Colorado State University (CSU). A normal season, as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the period from 1981 to 2010, has approximately 12 named storms, with 6 of those reaching hurricane status. About 3 hurricane strengthen into major hurricanes, which are tropical cyclones that reach at least Category 3 intensity on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The July 23, 1983, forecasters at CSU predicted that after the slow start to the season, a total of eight tropical storms would develop, and five of the storms would reach hurricane status. The forecast did not specify how many of the hurricanes would reach major hurricane status. CSU based this prediction on an ongoing El Niño event, sea-level pressures, and wind currents. However, the prediction issued by CSU proved to be too high, with only four named storms forming by the end of the season and three of those reaching hurricane status. The CSU attributed the overforecast to the El Niño event being stronger and more persistent than they expected.https://tropical.colostate.edu/Forecast/Archived_Forecasts/1980s/1984-06.pdf Forecast of Atlantic Seasonal Hurricane Activity for 1984 May 24, 1984 William M.

The wind shear was unusually strong throughout the Caribbean and open Atlantic, and disrupted convection in areas of disturbed weather so they could not develop. Over 60 African systems had formed and made it westward, but when they reached the Lesser Antilles, they were dissolved easily. The only area where the shear was minimal—a region encompassing the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic north of the Bahamas and east of Florida—was where the four named storms developed. Another contributing factor to the low number of storms may have been the decaying 1982–83 El Niño event. The season total of four named storms was the fewest in the satellite era, while the 1983 season was the least active since 1930, which had only three storms. This season and the previous became the first example of two consecutive years to have no storms form in the Caribbean since reliable record began. Additionally, the 1983 season was the first on record in which a system did not reach tropical storm intensity south of 25°N latitude. The National Hurricane Center also issued numeric landfall probabilities for the first time in 1983. Probabilities had been calculated for prior storms for use in the issuing of hurricane watches and warnings, but this was the first time the raw numeric probabilities were released to the public. The probabilities issued were accurate during Alicia, indicating that Galveston and surrounding portions of the upper Texas coast were the most likely area to be struck.National Hurricane Center 1983 Hurricane Alicia Preliminary Report Page 3 National Hurricane Center February 2, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1983-prelim/alicia/prelim03.gif https://web.archive.org/web/20121020195934/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1983-prelim/alicia/prelim03.gif October 20, 2012 live Tropical cyclogenesis began on July 23, when Tropical Depression One formed over the deep Atlantic. After crossing the Windward Islands, the depression dissipated over the eastern Caribbean on July 28. As the previous system moved across the Caribbean, another depression formed on July 27 to the southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. The depression traversed the Atlantic in a west-northwestward direction and also failed to reach tropical storm intensity before dissipating near the northern Leeward Islands on August 2. Later in August, hurricanes Alicia and Barry developed. The former also became the most intense tropical cyclone of the season, peaking as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph km/h on. Alicia caused 21 fatalities and approximately $3 billion in damage, mostly in Texas. Three tropical cyclones formed in September – Hurricane Chantal, Tropical Depression Six, and Tropical Storm Dean. The dissipation of Dean on September 30 marked the end of tropical cyclone activity. The season's activity was reflected with a very low cumulative accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 17, one of the lowest on record,Hurricane Research Division National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration September 2021 Atlantic basin Comparison of Original and Revised HURDAT September 27, 2021 https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/comparison_table.html February 27, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200227210958/https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/comparison_table.html live which is classified as "below normal".National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/background_information.shtml Background information: the North Atlantic Hurricane Season May 27, 2010 Climate Prediction Center March 30, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110510081844/http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/background_information.shtml May 10, 2011 live ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph km/h on, which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity.

Pressures in the Gulf of Mexico were high and stayed high during the early development stages. On August 15, a ship recorded a minimal pressure of 1015 millibars (29.99 inHg), when the system was upgraded into Tropical Storm Alicia. With high environmental pressures around it, Alicia remained a small system. Steering currents above Alicia remained weak during the storm's lifetime. However, a ridge was well formed to the north of the developing storms. With fluctuations in the pressures, Alicia began to drift to west on August 16. This was short-lived, as Alicia turned to the northwest towards Texas. During the period of August 16 to August 18, an anticyclone had formed over Alicia and along with slow movement over warm waters, caused Alicia to intensify rapidly. The pressure in Alicia decreased one millibar an hour in the 40 hours before landfall. Alicia peaked at 115 mph km/h on 5 in winds and 962 mbar inHg in pressure on August 18. Alicia made landfall near Galveston on August 18 as a Category 3 hurricane. Alicia weakened quickly over land and accelerated over the Midwest, before dissipating over Nebraska on August 21. As Alicia moved northward, the remnants caused moderate to heavy rainfall in several states. Houston suffered heavy damage, including thousands of shattered glass panes from downtown skyscrapers. Overall, Alicia killed 21 people and caused $3 billion (1983 USD) in damage.David Roth 2007 Tropical Cyclone Rainfall: Hurricane Alicia Hydrometeorological Prediction Center February 2, 2007 http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical/rain/alicia1983.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130922015557/http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical/rain/alicia1983.html September 22, 2013 liveHurricane Alicia: Prediction, Damage & Recovery Efforts Subcommittee on Natural Resources, Agriculture Research and Environment 1983 May 5, 2011 https://www.loc.gov/law/find/hearings/floods/floods98-81.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20120915112006/http://www.loc.gov/law/find/hearings/floods/floods98-81.pdf September 15, 2012 deadCostliest U.S. tropical cyclones tables updated https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/news/UpdatedCostliest.pdf National Hurricane Center January 26, 2018 February 4, 2018 Miami, Florida https://web.archive.org/web/20180127083930/https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/news/UpdatedCostliest.pdf January 27, 2018 live Hurricane Barry Atl Barry 1983-08-28 1730Z.jpg Barry 1983 track.png August 23 August 29 70 986 Hurricane Barry (1983) Hurricane Barry originated from a tropical disturbance that left the Northwestern African coast on August 13. Most of the season, the northwestern tropical Atlantic Ocean had upper-level wind shear, which had inhibited development of systems. Due to these conditions, the disturbance was unable to strengthen until August 22 as it was approaching the Bahamas. A weak trough moved the disturbance into an area of low wind shear, and the disturbance intensified into Tropical Depression Four on the evening of August 23. The depression was just to the northeast of the northern Bahamian Islands where it strengthened into Tropical Storm Barry on the morning of August 24. Tropical Storm Barry subsequently turned to the west into an area of increased wind shear and weakened rapidly. It was able to make landfall near Melbourne, Florida, on the morning of August 25 as a 45 mph tropical storm, before weakening to a tropical depression over Florida. After Tropical Depression Barry emerged from central Florida, it was still under pressure from high-level winds. The depression entered the central Gulf of Mexico, and after meandering west for a day or so, returned to tropical storm strength. Just off the coast of Mexico, Barry rapidly intensified into a hurricane on August 28, just before making landfall near Matamoros that afternoon. Before landfall, Barry peaked with 80 mph km/h on 5 winds and a pressure of 986 millibars (29.11 inHg). The remnants quickly dissipated over the Sierra Madre Oriental on August 29.National Hurricane Center 1983 Hurricane Barry Preliminary Report National Hurricane Center December 23, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1983-prelim/barry/prelim01.gif https://web.archive.org/web/20121019064329/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1983-prelim/barry/prelim01.gif October 19, 2012 live Hurricane Chantal Atl File:Chantal 1983-09-11 2000Z.png Chantal 1983 track.png September 10 September 15 65 994 The precursor low to Chantal originated from a large envelope of low pressure on the morning of September 10. The disturbed weather, nested off the coast of Bermuda, was one of the remnants of an old frontal trough that had extended from Hispaniola to the central north Atlantic Ocean. This particular area of disturbed weather become part of the northeast portion of a low-pressure system. On September 10, a reconnaissance aircraft found sustained winds of 30 mph km/h on 5 and a 1010 millibar (29.83 inHg) pressure reading, indicating development into a tropical depression. The depression moved to within 100 mi km off us of Bermuda and slowly intensified. Late that afternoon, Tropical Depression Five had intensified into a 40 mph km/h on 5 storm and was named Chantal. Chantal intensified rapidly, intensifying to hurricane status late on September 11. It then turned to the east and gained a weak upper-level cirrus-cloud outflow. The structure of the system changed little over the next 24 hours, before Chantal lost organization and was downgraded to a tropical storm on the night of the 12th. Overnight, all convection in Chantal dissipated, and its forward speed decreased as it headed north. A frontal system attracted and absorbed the remnants of Chantal by the night of September 14. Effects on Bermuda were minimal, with the island getting winds only up to 20 mph km/h on 5 and a few thundershowers.National Hurricane Center 1983 Hurricane Chantal Preliminary Report National Hurricane Center February 2, 2007 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1983-prelim/chantal/prelim01.gif https://web.archive.org/web/20121020195922/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1983-prelim/chantal/prelim01.gif October 20, 2012 live However, Chantal generated swells of 30 – 40 ft m on offshore.United Press International September 12, 1983 Hurricane Chantal bypasses Bermuda The Philadelphia Inquirer 3-A September 27, 2021 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/86106925/the-philadelphia-inquirer/ Newspapers.com September 28, 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210928014240/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/86106925/the-philadelphia-inquirer/ live Tropical Depression Six Atl 06L 1983-09-19 1801Z.jpg 06L 1983 track.png September 18 September 20 30 Tropical Depression Six formed on September 18 from a tropical wave.

During the next few days, the band became stationary from the Bahamas to beyond Bermuda. A high-pressure area then settled over the northeastern United States, resulting in a strong pressure gradient and winds near gale-force along the east coast. A low-level circulation formed from the frontal cloud band on September 26 about 460 mi km on east of central Florida. Dean was first identified late on September 26 as a subtropical storm, though an Air Force reconnaissance flight on the following day only reported winds of 35 mph km/h on 5 at 23 mi km on from the center. A pressure of 999 mbar inHg on indicated that Dean was strengthening as it headed northward. Additionally, satellite pictures showed that the subtropical cyclone was emerging from the cloud. Consequently, the system became a tropical storm late on September 27. Dean's winds peaked at 65 mph km/h on 5 on September 28 as it headed northward. Dean's circulation turned to the northwest on September 29 then struck the Delmarva Peninsula and dissipated over land on September 30. Gale warnings were from North Carolina to Rhode Island in association with Dean.Miles B.
