fatalities meteorological history tropical wave accompanied broad surface low pressure area emerged atlantic_ocean west coast africa late august tracking generally westward system remained disorganized days august system increasingly organized showers thunderstorms concentrated center based dvorak satellite classifications surface wind data estimated developed utc august located miles east southeast northern leeward_islands situated south subtropical ridge system tracked west northwestward warm waters result depression strengthened tropical storm utc august tropical storm august subtropical ridge caused turn west northwestward early august storm featured define outflow directions center circulation close main area convection intensity estimates time indicated sustained wind speeds mph intensification halted later august wind shear increased storm causing convection displaced center early september eye like feature appeared satellite imagery uncertainty feature displaced low level center storm increasingly disorganized circulation displaced main convective area hours later relentless wind shear caused weaken slightly mph tropical storm despite sea surface temperatures exceeding early september storm curved northwestward approaching weakness bermuda high pressure ridge eventually turned northerly motion blocking pattern atlantic_canada caused storm drift forward speeds mph days wind shear decreased allowing organize strengthen hurricane utc september hours later attained maximum sustained wind speed mph slow movement storm caused process warm replaced colder waters result slowly began weaken fell tropical storm intensity early september despite weakening storm circulation expanded radius miles wind field expanded tropical storm force winds reaching miles diameter center early september blocking pattern diminished broad mid- upper level trough associated cold moved east_coast united_states result accelerated north northeastward later day storm passed
