Forming on June 28 from a trough of low pressure, Amy gradually attained tropical storm status off the coast of North Carolina.

The main effects from Amy were rough seas, reaching up to 15 ft (4.6 m) in height, that were felt from North Carolina to New Jersey, inflicting minor coastal flooding and beach erosion.

On June 30, a schooner carrying four people capsized off the North Carolina coastline, resulting in the death of the father of the other three crew members.

Tropical Storm Amy originated from a weak trough on June 24 accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms over Florida.

[1] By June 29, a trough, moving through the westerlies, rapidly approached the storm, causing the newly designated Amy to turn sharply toward the east.

Over the following several days, Amy tracked generally northeastward but underwent eastward jogs in response to rapidly moving troughs to the north.

[1] Amy neared hurricane intensity several times, beginning on June 30 as maximum winds increased to 70 mph (110 km/h); however, the storm was unable to acquire enough tropical features, and remained predominately subtropical.

[7] As a tropical depression, Amy produced scattered rainfall in Florida, peaking around 3 in (76 mm) near the Georgia border.
