It moved swiftly northward, and intensified to a tropical storm on November 9, entering the southern Gulf of Mexico a day later. Jeanne turned westward on November 11, and rapidly intensified to its peak intensity of 100 mph (155 km/h). It weakened on November 12, and its forward motion slowed; weakening because of dry air intrusion, the cyclone, while a tropical storm, executed a clockwise loop on November 15.
