Frances in 2004 was last CV hurricane to hit the US?

[storms in NC]

I has looking to see what storm was the last one to hit the US from the CVI. This is all I found. Is there more?


Hurricane Frances 2004
Frances developed from a tropical wave, becoming a tropical depression on August 25 several hundred miles west-southwest of the southern Cape Verde Islands, a tropical storm later that day, and a hurricane the following day. Frances moved generally west-northwestward for the next several days, passing north of the Leeward Islands on the 31st and just north of the Turks and Caicos Islands on the 2nd . During this time, Frances' peak winds reached 145 m.p.h. (category 4) on two occasions while the hurricane underwent a series of concentric eyewall cycles. Westerly wind shear then caused Frances to weaken to a category 2 hurricane by the time it passed over the northwestern Bahamas on the 4th . Frances made landfall near Stuart, Florida just after midnight on the 5th with 105 m.p.h. (category 2) maximum winds. Frances gradually weakened as it moved slowly across the Florida Peninsula, and became a tropical storm just before emerging into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico early on September 6. Frances made a final landfall in the Florida Big Bend region that afternoon as a tropical storm. Frances weakened over the southeastern United States and became extratropical over West Virginia on the 9th .

Frances produced a storm surge of nearly 6 feet at its Florida east coast landfall, and caused widespread heavy rains and associated freshwater flooding over much of the eastern United States, with a maximum reported rainfall of 18.07 inches at Linville Falls, North Carolina. Frances was also associated with an outbreak of over 100 tornadoes throughout the southeastern and mid-Atlantic states. Eight deaths resulted from the forces of the storm - seven in the United States and one in the Bahamas. U.S. damage is estimated to be near $8.9 billion, over 90% of which occurred in Florida.

The National Hurricane Center also maintains the official Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane Frances.

As of now i dont think the pattern is there for a track similar to frances to take place.The trofs of the east coast of the united states should be keep anything out to sea atleast for the first half of july.Hopefully we can get a repeat of 06 with most activity out to sea.

Here's a radar loop i saved of frances as she made landfall in florida.

That pattern of a persistent trof on the EC is about to change, as I posted on another thread:

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.LONG TERM...ONCE THE UPPER LOW OR ITS REMNANTS FINALLY EXIT THE
REGION BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND...EXPECT A SIGNIFICANT SYNOPTIC
PATTERN CHANGE TO BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE...AS THE PERSISTENT UPPER TROF
OVER THE SE U.S. GRADUALLY GIVES WAY TO A DEVELOPING UPPER RIDGE
WHICH WILL BUILD IN FROM THE EAST. WITH SFC RIDGING ALSO EXPECTED TO
STRENGTHEN COULD SEE A PERIOD OF HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS DEVELOP OVER
THE AREA BY MID WEEK. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES WITH BOTH THE GFS AND
ECMWF...AM INCLINED TO DROP POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE AND RAISE TEMPS TO
THE MID TO UPPER 90S OVER A WED THROUGH FRI PERIOD. FOR MON AND
TUE...WILL PLAN ON STICKING TO MORE TYPICAL SEA BREEZE CLIMO POPS
AND TEMPS AS WE BEGIN THE TRANSITION PERIOD.

Yea i just read that...Could be yes but the overall trend has been of very persistent trofiness of the east coast of the united states.Adrian

[windstorm99]

Yea thats my bad we had them all over the place back in 04...

Here another old model pic i saved of the 00z EURO model on frances

yeah jeanne she was a bit of a storm i remember riding that out on the intercoastal in central palm beach.

and when i was in Wilma, the biggest difference i noticed was that the gusts were much more pronounced at least that was my perception of it, much much more pronounced , powerful storm

also windstorm would u say the troughs are not digging as far south as last year though
