Timeline Of The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season
The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season saw an above average number of tropical cyclone naming, named storms and an average number of hurricanes and major hurricanes (category 3 or higher on the 5-level Saffir–Simpson scale, Saffir–Simpson wind speed scale). There were twenty tropical cyclone naming, named storms during the season; seven of them strengthened into hurricanes, and three of those reached major hurricane intensity. The season officially began on June 1, 2023, and ended on November 30. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most Subtropical cyclone, subtropical or tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic. However, tropical cyclone formation is possible at any time of the year, as was the case this season, when an unnamed subtropical storm formed on January 16.

A strong steering current caused the storm to track northwestward, far from the Northern Leeward Islands. Highly favorable conditions enabled Lee to rapidly intensify to a Category 5 Atlantic hurricane, Category 5 hurricane on September 7, its winds increased by in 24 hours. This made it the thirdfastest rapid intensification on record in the Atlantic, only behind Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and Hurricane Felix in 2007. Just as quickly however, Lee's strength waned, and it fluctuated in intensity for several days on account of strong wind shear and multiple eyewall replaceme ...
