[2] Operationally, it was believed that a weak tropical disturbance formed over the southeast Bahamas in May and moved northwest into the Georgia coast near Savannah.

The sixth and eighth systems, designated as Dog and Easy by the Air Weather Service in real time,[nb 1] respectively, were the most intense tropical cyclones of the season, peaking as a Category 4 hurricane with a minimum barometric pressure of 940 mbar (27.76 inHg).

The former caused eight deaths and $400,000 (1948 USD)[nb 2] in damage after bringing strong winds, rough seas, and heavy rainfall to Bermuda and Atlantic Canada.

The ninth hurricane, assigned the name Fox by the Air Weather Service, brought similar impact to Cuba and Florida about two weeks later.

[6] The strongest storms of the season attained Category 4 intensity; two of the major hurricanes formed in the western Caribbean Sea and affected the United States in late September and October.

An intense hurricane attained Category 4 strength and produced extensive damage and 100 mph (160 km/h) wind gusts on Bermuda in mid-September.

In the Dominican Republic, the capital city of Santo Domingo (then known as Ciudad Trujillo) was impacted significantly, where 9 in (229 mm) of rain fell in 24 hours.

The depression strengthened slightly and became a weak tropical storm early on July 9, when it peaked with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (64 km/h).

Several hours later, the system made landfall east of Pensacola, Florida, but quickly weakened to a depression as it moved inland.

[7] A strong tropical storm, named Able by the Air Weather Service in real time,[12] was first identified on August 26 about 300 mi (480 km) northeast of Saint John, as ship reports indicated winds of Force 9.

Over the next several days, the system slowly weakened, and its remnants turned east before dissipating south of southern Iceland on September 5.

Weather Bureau posted hurricane warnings in North Carolina from Wilmington to Cape Hatteras on August 30, as the storm was expected to pass over or near the state.

[14] On August 30, a tropical storm named Baker by the Air Weather Service in real time, was first detected about 275 mi (443 km) east of Barbados,[1] by a ship that reported high easterly seas and winds of Force 10.

[1] On the morning of September 1, Baker passed between Saint Lucia and Martinique, when a reconnaissance aircraft mission reported a minimum pressure of 1,007 mbar (29.7 inHg).

Weather Bureau advised residents that the storm was expected to strike land between Morgan City and Grand Isle around midnight, as its forward motion had increased to 15 mph (24 km/h).

[15] The weather service also noted that abnormally high tides were expected from the Mississippi River to Pensacola, as the center was predicted to pass east of New Orleans and move to the west of Biloxi shortly before dawn.

[16] As winds increased, city officials in New Orleans ordered 2,000 people to evacuate from a wartime housing project into an auditorium for shelter.

[17] Throughout southeastern Louisiana, beans were destroyed north of Lake Pontchartrain, while sugar cane and corn were flattened, especially in Lafourche, Jefferson, St. Charles, and Terrebonne parishes.

[9] The hurricane produced gusts of 78 mph (126 km/h) at Moisant Airport, and tides ranged from 3.4 to 6 ft (1.0 to 1.8 m) along the coast from Mississippi to the Florida Panhandle.

The maximum tide reached 4.7 ft (1.4 m) in New Orleans, and winds caused damage to small boats, trees, and power and communication lines.

After reaching a longitude roughly equal to that of the Lesser Antilles, Dog began to curve northward on a parabolic track, bringing it near Bermuda at peak intensity as a Category 4 hurricane on September 13.

The waning Dog grazed Cape Race, Newfoundland, before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on September 15; these remnants persisted for an additional day.

The storm curved northwestward and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (105 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 993 mbar (29.3 inHg).

After turning northward and then northeastward, the storm began losing tropical characteristics and reverted to an extratropical cyclone on September 10 while situated about 215 mi (346 km) southwest of Sable Island, Nova Scotia.

Late on October 5, the hurricane made landfall on Bahia Honda Key, Florida, with winds of 105 mph (169 km/h) and near Flamingo about two hours later.

[1] Early on November 10, George is believed to have reached hurricane intensity after reconnaissance aircraft flights recorded a small area of winds ranging from 70 to 80 mph (110 to 130 km/h).

[1][7] Peaking as a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (121 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 990 mbar (29 inHg), George then curved north-northwestward.

[9] A weak broad low pressure area formerly associated with a trough developed into a tropical depression well northeast of the Lesser Antilles on April 15.

[9] On September 25, a westward moving tropical wave near the Lesser Antilles began appearing in historical weather map.

During a separate fight on September 29, it was noted that, "[a] complete search of area shows well-organized circle of storm but open to west and northwest".
