Timeline of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a timeline of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season, documenting all the storm formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, as well as dissipation. The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 2008, and will last until November 30, although the first storm of the season, Tropical Storm Arthur, developed before the official start, on May 31. For convenience and clarity, in the timeline below, all landfalls are bolded. The timeline will also include information, when it becomes available, which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned on, have been included.
