Category 2 hurricane (CPHC)
Duration	January 3 – January 7
Peak intensity	100 mph (160 km/h) (1-min) 968 mbar (hPa)

Hurricane One

A tropical wave was noted In Mexican Gulf sea on January 3, it organized into the season's first tropical depression. During the next several days the depression slowly drifted northwest. ,Situated within a anticiclonic environment, it struggled to intensify forecasters even predicted the depression would dissipate .without ever reaching tropical storm strength. However, the system unexpectedly started to develop with a small area of deep convection developing near its, unexpectedly rapidly intensified into a Category 2 hurricane on January 5, but,the storm made landfall on Texas,a polar low pressure rapidily dissipated the system on January 7
