Avila January 18, 2010 January 18, 2010 PDF The season featured the lowest number of tropical cyclones since the 1997 season, and only one system, Claudette, made landfall in the United States. Forming from the interaction of a tropical wave and an upper-level low, Claudette made landfall on the Florida Panhandle with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph km/h on 5 before quickly dissipating over Alabama. The storm killed two people and caused $228,000 (2009 USD) in damage. Pre-season forecasts issued by Colorado State University (CSU) called for fourteen named storms and seven hurricanes, of which three were expected to attain major hurricane status.A major hurricane is a storm that ranks as Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) later issued its initial forecast, which predicted nine to fourteen named storms, four to seven hurricanes, and one to three major hurricanes. After several revisions in the projected number of named storms, both agencies lowered their forecasts by the middle of the season. Several storms made landfall or directly affected land outside of the United States. Tropical Storm Ana brought substantial rainfall totals to many of the Caribbean islands, including Puerto Rico, which led to minor street flooding. Hurricane Bill delivered gusty winds and rain to the island of Newfoundland, while Tropical Storm Danny affected the U.S. state of North Carolina, and Erika affected the Lesser Antilles as a poorly organized tropical system. Hurricane Fred affected the Cape Verde Islands as a developing tropical cyclone and Tropical Storm Grace briefly impacted the Azores, becoming the farthest northeast forming storm on record. The season's final storm, Ida, affected portions of Central America before bringing significant rainfall to the Southeast United States as an extratropical cyclone.

The United States experienced one of its quietest years, with no hurricanes making landfall in the country. Throughout the basin, six people were killed in tropical cyclone-related incidents and total losses reached roughly $77 million. Most of the damage resulted from Hurricane Bill, which caused severe beach erosion throughout the east coast of the United States. In the United States, tropical cyclones killed six people and caused roughly $46 million in damage. In the Lesser Antilles, Tropical Storms Ana and Erika brought moderate rainfall to several islands but resulted in little damage. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, the Azores Islands, Atlantic Canada, Bermuda, Cape Verde Islands and Wales were affected by tropical cyclones or their remnants. In Canada, Hurricane Bill produced widespread moderate rainfall in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, leaving roughly $10 million in losses.Glenn McGillivary Institute for Catastrophe Loss Reduction January 2010 February 17, 2010 Annus Horriblis, The Sequel http://www.iclr.org/images/Annus_horriblis_Two_nat_cats_2009.pdf July 20, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110720084147/http://www.iclr.org/images/Annus_horriblis_Two_nat_cats_2009.pdf dead The hurricane also produced tropical storm-force winds in Bermuda. Hurricane Fred briefly impacted the southern Cape Verde Islands as it bypassed the islands early in its existence. The Azores and Wales were also affected by Tropical Storm Grace; however, both areas recorded only minor effects.

On May 25, 2009, an area of low pressure developed along the tail-end of a decaying cold front near the northern Bahamas. Tracking northward, this low gradually developed as it moved within 85 mi km on 5 of North Carolina's Outer Banks. By May 28, deep convection developed across a small area over the low-pressure system, leading to the National Hurricane Center classifying the system as Tropical Depression One. It was the northernmost forming May tropical cyclone in Atlantic history, though subtropical cyclones formed equally far north in 1972 and 2007. It also marked the third consecutive year with pre-season tropical or subtropical cyclones in the basin. The depression moved over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream for the following 24 hours, allowing it to maintain its convection, before moving into a hostile environment characterized by strong wind shear and cooler waters. Late on May 29, the system degenerated into a remnant low. Several hours later, on May 30, about 345 mi km on 5 south-southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Tropical Depression One was absorbed by a warm front.National Hurricane Center National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2009 February 15, 2010 Easy-to-Read-HURDAT 1851–2008 http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/easyread-2009.html As a tropical cyclone, the depression had no impact on land. However, the precursor to the system brought scattered rainfall and increased winds to parts of the North Carolina coastline, but no damage. Rainfall in Hatteras amounted to 0.1 in mm on on May 27; sustained wind reached 15 mph km/h on and gusts were measured up to 23 mph km/h on. The lowest sea level pressure recorded in relation to the system was 1009 mbar (hPa; 1009 mbar inHg on on 4 out).Weather Underground May 27, 2008 September 29, 2021 History for Hatteras, NC: May 27, 2009 Weather http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KHSE/2009/5/27/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA https://web.archive.org/web/20131104143839/http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KHSE/2009/5/27/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA November 4, 2013 Increased winds along coastal areas of the state was possible in relation to the outer edges of the depression.Rob Nucatola WCTV May 28, 2009 May 28, 2009 Tropical Depression One Forms http://www.wctv.tv/home/headlines/46365517.html dead https://web.archive.org/web/20150831155436/http://www.wctv.tv/home/headlines/46365517.html August 31, 2015 Tropical Storm Ana Atl Ana aug 12 2009 1540Z.jpg Ana 2009 path.png August 11 August 16 35 1003 Tropical Storm Ana (2009) Ana formed out of an area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave on August 11, Ana briefly attained tropical storm intensity on August 12 before weakening back to a depression. The following day, the system degenerated into a non-convective remnant low as it tracked westward. On August 14, the depression regenerated roughly 1,075 mi (1,735 km) east of the Leeward Islands. Around 06:00 UTC on August 15, the storm re-attained tropical storm status, at which time it was named Ana. After reaching a peak intensity with winds of 40 mph km/h on 5 and a barometric pressure of 1003 mbar (hPa; 1003 mbar inHg on 4 out), the storm began to weaken again due to increasing wind shear and the unusually fast movement of Ana. In post-storm analysis, it was discovered that Ana had degenerated into a tropical wave once more on August 16, before reaching any landmasses.Eric S.

Light wind shear and warm waters allowed the depression to steadily intensify, becoming Tropical Storm Bill later that day. By August 17, Bill attained hurricane-status about midway between the Cape Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles. Eventually the hurricane attained its peak intensity as a Category 4 storm roughly 345 mi km on 5 east-northeast of the Leeward Islands. The storm attained maximum winds of 130 mph km/h on 5, the highest of any storm during the season, before weakening slightly as it turned north. The large storm passed roughly 175 mi km on 5 west of Bermuda as a Category 2 hurricane. Further weakening took place as Bill brushed the southern coast of Nova Scotia the following day. Shortly before making landfall in Newfoundland, Bill weakened to a tropical storm and accelerated. The storm eventually transitioned into an extratropical cyclone after moving over the north Atlantic before being absorbed by a larger non-tropical low on August 24. Two people were killed by the storm's large swells—one in Maine and another in Florida. The hurricane came close enough to warrant tropical cyclone watches and warnings in both the US and Canada. Bill was one of three tropical storms active on August 16. Large, life-threatening swells produced by the storm impacted north-facing coastlines of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as Hurricane Bill approached Bermuda.Agence France-Presse Taiwan News August 22, 2009 September 29, 2021 Bermuda placed on alert as Hurricane Bill advances https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/1037943 Along the coasts of North Carolina, waves averaging 10 ft m on in height impacted beaches.

Forming out of a tropical wave and an upper-level low-pressure system, Claudette quickly intensified into a tropical storm offshore south of Tallahassee, Florida. By the afternoon, the storm had attained winds of 60 mph km/h on 5 and steadily tracked towards the Florida Panhandle. Early on August 17, the center of Claudette made landfall on Santa Rosa Island. Several hours after landfall, the storm weakened to a tropical depression and the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center took over primary responsibility of the storm.

Beven II National Hurricane Center January 6, 2010 February 15, 2010 Tropical Storm Danny Tropical Cyclone Report AL052009_Danny PDF Around 0900 UTC on August 26, a closed low had formed, leading to the formation of Tropical Storm Danny about 430 mi km on east of Nassau, Bahamas. Initially, the storm had a structure resembling that of a subtropical cyclone, with little thunderstorms near the center. The highest winds were confined to a rainband in the northern semicircle of the cyclone. The storm moved erratically northwestward as its center reformed several times. On August 27, Danny peaked with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 1006 mbar (hPa; 29.71 inHg). It held this strength for about 12 hours before reinvigorated shear caused the storm to gradually weaken as it meandered northward. A strong upper-level trough along southeastern United States triggered the formation of another non-tropical low pressure system near the coast of North Carolina. The new low caused Danny to dissipate on August 29, and the remannts were absorbed into a developing frontal zone.Forecaster Beven Tropical Storm Danny Discussion Number 2 August 26, 2009 National Hurricane Center January 12, 2010 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2009/al05/al052009.discus.002.shtml?Forecaster Blake Tropical Storm Danny Discussion Number 4 August 27, 2009 National Hurricane Center January 12, 2010 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2009/al05/al052009.discus.004.shtml?

Upon forming, the storm had attained its peak intensity with winds of 50 mph km/h on 5. Persistent wind shear prevented the system from intensifying and resulted in the storm's convection being completely displaced from the center of circulation by the time it passed over Guadeloupe on September 2.

Soon after its peak intensity, Fred began weakening due to an eyewall replacement cycle and stronger wind shear caused by an approaching trough. Also around that time, the hurricane slowed and began moving northwestward as it moved around the subtropical ridge. The approaching trough turned Fred to the northeast on September 11, by which time eye disappeared and the convection lost organization.

At this time, the depression attained its peak intensity with winds of 35 mph km/h on 5 and a minimum pressure of 1008 mbar (hPa). Shortly thereafter, wind shear and decreasing sea surface temperatures caused the depression to weaken.

After executing a counterclockwise loop between October 1 and 3, deep convection wrapped around a small circulation center that had developed within the larger cyclone. On October 4, this smaller low developed into a tropical storm while situated near the Azores Islands, becoming the northeasternmost forming Atlantic tropical cyclone on record. The storm quickly turned northeastward and intensified, developing an eye-like feature as it attained peak winds of 65 mph km/h on 5 and a minimum pressure of 986 mbar (hPa; 986 mbar inHg on 4 out). It weakened over increasingly colder waters and began merging with an approaching frontal boundary.

The slow moving system quickly developed into Tropical Storm Ida within a favorable environment as it neared the coastline of Nicaragua. Several hours before moving over land, Ida attained hurricane-status, with winds reaching 80 mph km/h on 5. Hours after moving inland, Ida weakened to a tropical storm and further to a tropical depression as it turned northward. On November 7, the depression re-entered the Caribbean Sea and quickly intensified. Early on November 8, the system re-attained hurricane intensity as it rapidly intensified over warm waters. Ida attained its peak intensity as a Category 2 hurricane early the next day with winds of 105 mph km/h on 5 as it moved over the Yucatán Channel. Not long after reaching this intensity, Ida quickly weakened to a tropical storm as it entered the Gulf of Mexico. Despite strong wind shear, the storm briefly re-attained hurricane status for a third time near the southeastern Louisiana coastline before quickly weakening to a tropical storm. Shortly before moving inland over the southern United States, Ida transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. The remnants of Ida persisted until November 11, at which time the low dissipated. Remnant energy from Ida provided energy for another system which became a powerful nor'easter, causing significant damage in the Mid-Atlantic States. The resulting storm came to be known as Nor'Ida. In the southern Caribbean, Hurricane Ida caused roughly $2.1 million in damage in Nicaragua after destroying numerous homes and leaving an estimated 40,000 people homeless.Staff Writer Agence France-Presse November 6, 2009 February 15, 2009 El huracán 'Ida' deja al menos 40.000 damnificados en Nicaragua https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5joOdwzBp_SqqcAxmfVhAzr82ojyg es dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100413183012/http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5joOdwzBp_SqqcAxmfVhAzr82ojyg April 13, 2010 Sergio León La Prensa November 5, 2009 February 15, 2009 Huracán deja estela de daños en la RAAS http://www.laprensa.com.ni/2009/11/05/nacionales/6950 es dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131226155919/http://www.laprensa.com.ni/2009/11/05/nacionales/6950 December 26, 2013 Ida also produced significant rainfall across portions of western Cuba, with some areas recording up to 12.5 in mm on of rain during the storm's passage.
