However, with a barometric pressure of 895 mbar (hPa; 26.43 inHg), Rita is the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico. [64] In between Rita and Katrina is Hurricane Allen. Allen's pressure was measured at 899 mbar. Hurricane Camille is the sixth strongest hurricane on record.

Lines or dots connecting symbols can be varying colors, solid, dashed, or symbols between the points depending on the intensity and type of the system being tracked. [26]
It was also the ninth-strongest hurricane since 1900 to make landfall in Florida, based on barometric pressure. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Hurricane forecasters watching Isaac ...
In addition, at 1700 UTC during the hurricane season, a medium-range coordination call takes place between the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center and the National Hurricane Center to coordinate tropical cyclone placement on the medium-range pressure forecasts 6 and 7 days into the future for the northeast Pacific and Atlantic basins. Every ...
Hurricane Helene strengthened into an "extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane" before making landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast late Thursday night, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Hurricane Gilbert maintained a pressure of 900 hPa at landfall, as did Camille, making their landfalls tied as the second strongest. Hurricane Dean also made landfall on the peninsula, but it did so at peak intensity and with a higher barometric pressure; its landfall marked the fourth strongest in Atlantic hurricane history. [18]
The National Hurricane Center said Wednesday it is keeping tabs a "broad trough of low pressure" in the Caribbean Sea, as well as a system in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic storm ...
Saffir gave the proposed scale to the NHC for their use, where Simpson changed the terminology from "grade" to "category", organized them by sustained wind speeds of 1 minute duration, and added storm surge height ranges, adding barometric pressure ranges later on. In 1975, the Saffir-Simpson Scale was first published publicly.
