U.S. Tropical Storm Impact
--------------------------
08/28 11Z 35.0N 75.1W 40 kt North Carolina

Highlights:
1. A few central pressures were added based upon aircraft reconnaissance;
2. Extratropical transition indicated to be 12 hours earlier based upon
synoptic observations;
3. Dissipation indicated to be 12 hours earlier based upon synoptic
observations.


Tropical Storm Becky (changes noted starting on page 119)

Highlights:
1. Large upward revisions to the intensity on the 27th to the 31st based upon
ship observations;
2. A substantial east-northeastward shift in the position on the 28th based upon
ship and coastal observations;
3. Extratropical transition delayed 12 hours on the 31st based upon ship
observations;
4. Dissipation indicated to be 18 hours earlier based upon ship observations.


Tropical Storm Celia (changes noted starting on page 123)

Highlights:
1. Intensity significantly boosted on the 12th and 13th based upon ship
observations;(35kts to 55kts)
2. Intensity significantly boosted on the 20th and 21st based upon aircraft
reconnaissance and ship observations.(40kts to 60kts)
3. No extratropical stage is now indicated, as the system dissipated without
undergoing extratropical transition.


Hurricane Daisy (changes noted starting on page 130)

Highlights:
1. Several central pressures are added based upon aircraft reconnaissance;
2. The intensity is significantly reduced on the 5th based upon aircraft
observations;(85kts to70kts)
3. Extratropical transition indicated to have occurred 24 hours earlier based
upon ship and station data;
4. The intensity is significantly boosted on the 7th based upon aircraft
observations;(70kts to 90kts)
5. The position is adjusted westward on the 8th and 9th based upon ship and
station observations.


Hurricane Ella (changes noted starting on page 140)

Highlights:
1. Genesis indicated to have occurred 12 hours earlier based upon ship,
coastal, and aircraft observations;
2. Intensity significantly reduced on the 16th based upon aircraft observations;(60ktsto 45kts)
3. Peak intensity reduced from Category 3 (100 kt) to Category 2 (90 kt) on the
19th and 20th;
4. Intensity significantly boosted (and central pressures corrected) on the 21st
based upon aircraft observations;(65kts to 80kts)
5. Two days added at the end of the systems lifetime while an extratropical
cyclone.
