🌀 Marco · Tropical Storm · 65 mph

Tuesday, October 9, 1990 · 12:00 PM – 12:00 PM

Tropical Storm Marco was the only tropical cyclone to make landfall on the United States during the 1990 Atlantic hurricane season. The 13th named storm of the season, Marco formed from a cold-core low pressure area along the northern coast of Cuba on October 9, and tracked northwestward through the eastern Gulf of Mexico. With most of its circulation over the western portion of Florida, Tropical Storm Marco produced 65 mph (105 km/h) winds over land. However, it weakened to a tropical depression before moving ashore near Cedar Key. The cyclone combined with a cold front and the remnants of Hurricane Klaus to produce heavy rainfall in Georgia and the Carolinas. After interacting with the nearby Hurricane Lili, Marco continued northward until being absorbed by a cold front on October 13. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 65 mph (55 knots), lowest pressure 989 mb. October 9 – October 13, 1990. Accumulated cyclone energy: 1.4.
