Timeline[]

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale

Systems[]

Hurricane Agatha[]

Category 5 hurricane (SSHWS)
Songda 2016-10-12 0305Z Agatha 2017 track
DurationJanuary 6 – January 11
Peak intensity180 mph (285 km/h) (1-min) 912 mbar (hPa)

An area of cloudiness was first spotted on January 4, later developing into the first depression of the season on January 6. The depression became a tropical storm and was subsequently named Agatha. Agatha gradually intensified into a hurricane on January 8, the first of the season. Agatha then sharply turned east as a cold front picked the storm up, Agatha started to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane on the 10th. Continuing to be aided by strong baroclinity from the frontal system, Agatha became a category 5 storm less than 18 hours. Agatha later collapsed and became extratropical later on the 11th.

Hurricane Brionne[]

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
Vance 2014 Brionne 2017 track
DurationJanuary 14 – January 17
Peak intensity80 mph (130 km/h) (1-min) 978 mbar (hPa)

A decaying frontal trough, combined with a small circulation from an decaying extratropical system became the season's second tropical depression on January 14. Being in an enviroment with 15 knots of shear the depression became a tropical storm and was named Brionne, The small system began to be steered east by an extratropical system. Brionne suddenly became a hurricane on January 16, Making it the first time 2 recorded hurricanes in January in the history of the basin. The extratropical system later absorbed Brionne on January 17.

Hurricane Charley[]

Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
Bart 2017-02-21 2105Z Charley 2017 track
DurationFeburary 8 – Feburary 24
Peak intensity125 mph (205 km/h) (1-min) 961 mbar (hPa)

The tail end of a front acquired enough tropical characteristics to be classified as a tropical depression on Februrary 8. Despite holding onto some hybrid characteristics, such as being attached to the front, the depression became a tropical storm 6 hours after forming. Charley continues to swiftly move east while still being attached to the front, It wasn't until Feburary 10 when Charley completely deattached from the front. Operationally it was described as it was becoming subtropical. Charley didnt feature any notable change in intensity until Feburary 16, when it became the 3rd hurricane of the season. Then Charley started to move south in response to an anticyclone forming in the area, intensification soon ensued and Charley became the season's second major hurricane. However, an eyewall replacement cycle caused Charley to weaken. The storm fluctuated between a tropical storm and a hurricane for the next 2 days, Until it became a hurricane again on Feburary 22 as it was picked up by an strong extratropical system, Charley later became a major hurricane again as it was absorbed into the system. 

Hurricane Donna[]

Category 4 hurricane (SSHWS)
Nicole 2016-10-13 1522z Donna 2017 track
DurationFeburary 11 – Feburary 13
Peak intensity145 mph (230 km/h) (1-min) 935 mbar (hPa)

An rapidly-developing low pressure area became a tropical depression on Feburary 11, earning the name Donna just 6 hours later. Donna also became a hurricane just 12 hours after being named, The rapidly intensifying storm became a category 4 storm hours later. Donna started to weaken due to the effects of colder water and stable airmass, Donna became post-tropical on Feburary 13. 

Tropical Storm Eric[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Eric 2017-03-01 1855z Eric 2017 track
DurationMarch 1 – March 2
Peak intensity70 mph (110 km/h) (1-min) 986 mbar (hPa)

An area of convection was first spotted on late Feburary 27, later becoming a tropical depression on March 1. The depression became a tropical storm and was named Eric, Eric then peaked as a 65 mph tropical storm as it became extratropical the next day.

Hurricane Fletcher[]

Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
Uleki 1988-09-11 0300z Fletcher 2017 track
DurationMarch 15 – March 28
Peak intensity115 mph (185 km/h) (1-min) 972 mbar (hPa)

On March 15, a small area of low pressure that had been tracked since March 1 had a burst of convection, which was enough for it to become classified as a Tropical Depression. The Tropical Depression tracked west as it slowly intensified. Late March 16, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Fletcher. Soon thereafter, it began to be steered by a strengthening high pressure system to it's northeast. As Tropical Storm Fletcher slowly headed north, it continued to slowly intensify, to the point that on March 18, it was upgraded to a hurricane. It reached the northern edge of the high pressure system, and got caught up in a front moving east, forcing it into a patch of dry air, causing it to weaken back to a Tropical Storm just before making landfall. It soon crossed over the peninsula however, and it began to start strengthening over the warm bay waters. After restrengthening over the warm water, on March 21 it was re-upgraded to a Hurricane. At that point, the front had begun to collapse, as well as the dry air. This meant Hurricane Fletcher began to slow down, to the point on March 22 it became stationary. While it became stationary, Fletcher rapidly intensified into a Category 3 Hurricane. Soon thereafter, it was swept to the west by a rapidly moving front. The cold front began to absorb the Hurricane, but never completely absorbed it. Nevertheless, it weakened to a Tropical Storm before making landfall on the peninsula for the second time, causing moderate flooding. It continued west before making 2 more landfalls as a Tropical Storm, before dissipating.

Hurricane Georgette[]

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
Lili oct 11 1990 1822Z Georgette 2017 track
DurationMarch 31 – April 6
Peak intensity100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min) 980 mbar (hPa)

On March 31, a tropical wave formed over the Steve Sea. It became a depression on April 1, and became a storm the next day. Georgette became a hurricane on April 3, and peaked on April 4 as a Category 2 hurricane. Almost immediately after, the storm started to weaken, and it dissipated on April 6. Rip currents killed two zombies on Oak Tree Island, but there was no damage.

Tropical Depression 3[]

Tropical depression (SSHWS)
Jerry Sept 29 2013 TD03 2017 track
DurationJanuary 26 – January 28
Peak intensity35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min) 998 mbar (hPa)

On January 24, a small trough extending southwest into parts of the mainland developed a closed low pressure area on the northern tip of the trough. An extratropical cyclone soon formed around that time that day. It continued to meander due to the lack of movement in the trough for the next day or so. An unusually hot surface shore current flowing just off the tip of the peninsula resulted in the low beginning to take in warm air, causing the core to warm and convection to develop. Shear was still very high, but despite that, the low became an Unofficial Tropical Depression on January 26. The system continued to meander, and the current quickly cooled again, causing all of the system's convection to quickly dissipate on January 28 and the system transitioned back to extratropical.

Tropical Storm 6[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Image-download-6 2017 Tropical Storm 5 track
DurationFeburary 21 – Feburary 23
Peak intensity40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min) 998 mbar (hPa)

On Feburary 20th, a large warm air mass coming off of the nearby desert was able to begin to warm up the evaporating water to the point thunderstorms began to develop. A preexisting low pressure area began to gain convection as a result. This new system was large enough to quickly gain a closed circulation, and on the morning of Feburary 21st, an Unofficial Tropical Depression formed. The system continued on a generally northeastern path while gaining convection. Overnight on Feburary 22nd, it reached estimated winds of 40 MPH. Increasingly cooler air caused all convection in the system to wane, and eventually dissipate by Feburary 23rd.

Tropical Depression 12[]
