APPENDIX IV, p. 11 National Hurricane Center Best Track of Hurricane Isabel Moist air, strong winds and strong surf from Hurricane Isabel continued to affect Bermuda on the 15th with mostly cloudy skies, and a Small Craft Warning was issued. Strong winds from the east and mostly cloudy skies persisted into the 17th. Hurricane Isabel made landfall on the Carolina coastline of the United States causing considerable damage and loss of life on the 18th. An area of low pressure to Bermuda’s south developed into a tropical depression on September 25 th , and by later in the day Tropical Storm Juan was named. Conditions in Bermuda remained pleasant with mostly sunny skies and winds increasing through the day from light to strong. However, due to the storm’s close proximity and rapid development, Bermuda Weather Service issued a tropical storm warning for the 26 th , after conferring with the NHC. Tropical Storm Juan was upgraded to a category 1 hurricane on the 26th, and made its way northward, bringing strong winds to Bermuda. However, the winds over Bermuda did not reach tropical storm strength, and by mid afternoon the Tropical Storm Warning was cancelled, even though Tropical Storm Juan Hurricane Juan was at its closest point of approach of 125 nm. Juan continued its track to the north on the 27th, still providing Bermuda with strong winds but as high pressure built in mostly sunny skies prevailed. Juan went on to hit Nova Scotia as a category 2 hurricane, and “will be recorded as one of the most damaging tropical cyclones in modern history for Halifax”, according to the US National Hurricane Center.
