Recapping the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane season

The Atlantic hurricane started off in May when tropical storm Arthur formed just north of the Bahamas and moved north east while strengthening and coming close to the outer banks with 60-mph winds. The Outer Banks saw some winds and rain with Arthur but the center stayed off shore.

Tropical Storm Bertha formed in May also. Bertha formed right off the South Carolina coast. Bertha made landfall a couple hours later just northeast of Charleston, SC, with 50-mph.  

Before I can talk about Cristobal, I have to talk about how it formed from Amanda.Tropical Storm Amanda formed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Central America making landfall as a 40-mph storm on the same day. Amanda moved north and dissipated over land, but the remains of Amanda moved over the Bay of Campeche in the Atlantic Ocean and formed Tropical Storm Cristobal over the next days.

Cristobal strengthened to 60-mph at landfall in Mexico.  After being over land Cristobal weakened to a tropical depression when coming close to water but still over land Cristobal strengthen to a tropical storm. Cristobal made landfall again as a 50-mph storm near New Orleans.

Tropical storm Boris formed in the eastern Pacific and only held tropical storm strength for less then a day. Boris crossed over into the Central Pacific which is between 140W – 180W as a tropical depression. Boris was the second June tropical cyclone in the basin since 1966.
