No further activity occurred until late August, when Hurricane Alma brushed the Outer Banks before becoming extratropical southeast of New England, destroying hundreds of boats and producing beneficial rainfall.
Ella, the strongest storm of the season, remained offshore of the eastern United States but caused two deaths.
The final system, an unnamed hurricane, formed on November 28 and meandered erratically off the Southeastern United States before becoming extratropical on December 4.
The Atlantic hurricane reanalysis committee assessed that the system transitioned into a tropical storm by late on June 30, while moving over the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Turning to the north, the storm moved across Newfoundland, and curved to the west and southwest, striking New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
[9] While in its formative stages, the storm dropped torrential rainfall in coastal portions of North Carolina, causing locally heavy crop damage.
The depression began a motion to the northeast on August 27, and that day it strengthened into Tropical Storm Alma about 150 mi (240 km) east of the Florida/Georgia border.
Alma steadily intensified as it paralleled the coastline of the Carolinas, becoming a hurricane on August 28 a few miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras.
[6] After passing the Outer Banks, Alma continued to intensify further, reaching peak winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) about 85 mi (140 km) south of Nantucket.
Alma quickly weakened to a tropical storm as it made its closest approach to New England,[6] due to cooler water temperatures.
[12] In Rhode Island and Massachusetts along the coast, the storm produced northerly winds of 60 mph (97 km/h),[6] and one house was damaged by a fallen tree.
A hurricane hunters flight on August 31 indicated that Becky became extratropical about 70 mi (115 km) south of Santa Maria Island in the Azores.
Late on September 12, a ship reported winds of 40 mph (64 km/h), which provided the basis for the San Juan Weather Bureau to initiate advisories on Tropical Storm Celia.
The storm quickly attained peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h), and on September 13 a hurricane watch was issued for the northern Leeward Islands.
By late on September 14, a hurricane hunters flight indicated that the storm's structure no longer resembled that of a tropical cyclone.
On September 18, Celia began executing a loop to the north, during which it re-intensified into a tropical storm, as reported by ships.
Developing an anticyclone aloft, the storm continued to gradually intensify, reaching hurricane strength on October 3.
Cool air imparted weakening as Daisy turned northwestward, and on October 7, the storm transitioned into an extratropical about 185 mi (300 km) east of Chatham, Massachusetts.
[3] In New England, Hurricane Daisy's outer rainbands combined with an approaching nor'easter to drop torrential rainfall over the region for 65 hours, producing upwards of 12 in (300 mm) in portions of Massachusetts.
In Maine, wind gusts reaching 70 mph (110 km/h) destroyed hundreds of small boats, along with high waves from the storm.
A day after forming, it intensified into Tropical Storm Ella as it began a track to the northwest, located east of a weakening upper-level trough.
It gradually weakened over cooler waters while accelerating to the northeast, and its eye grew to an unusually large diameter of 100 mi (160 km).
The storm greatly complicated naval operations relating to the 'quarantine' blockade of Cuba and badly damaged several Soviet nuclear-armed submarines en route to the island, contributing to the escalation of the B-59 Incident.
[6] The crew of two was declared deceased after a Coast Guard, Navy, and Air Force search failed to locate their bodies.
A day later, an extratropical storm producing hurricane-force winds developed about 200 mi (320 km) south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
On November 27, the storm's wind structure became more symmetric, with an inner core developing inside the larger extratropical low.
The storm's interaction with a ridge to its northeast produced a strong pressure gradient, resulting in gale-force winds across the Virginia and North Carolina coast.
High waves washed away dunes, wrecked coastal houses, and sank several boats, including a ferry.
[9] On August 26, a tropical depression formed in the western Gulf of Mexico about 280 mi (450 km) northeast of Tampico, Tamaulipas.
[3][24] The rains resulted in 3 ft (0.91 m) of floodwaters across western Florida,[25] and both the Manatee River and the Phillippi Creek experienced record crests.
