History Trajectory weather the storm. On 24 June 2005, a tropical wave left the African coast moving west. 3 days, rapidly crossed the Atlantic Ocean, but without gaining too much force. On June 28, east of the Lesser Antilles, an area of strong convection developed north of the tropical wave, producing a tropical disturbance. The southern portion was transferred and kept going west. The disturbance moved west-northwest through the northern Caribbean Sea. On July 3, stormy activity was concentrated and formed a shallow depression.At 18:00 UTC, 70 nautical miles east of Chetumal (Mexico), a reconnaissance flight of the Air Force of the United States indicates the presence of a tropical depression, the third of the season. Depression TD-3 is moved slowly and soon reached the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on July 4, Dominica about 55 nautical miles north-northeast of Chetumal. Once on land, the cyclone turned to the northwest and left the east of Merida Yucatan at 15:00 UTC. Driven by a hole coming through the northern Gulf of Mexico, the depression accelerated its movement toward the northwest reaching speeds of 30 km / h. On July 5, at 6:00 UTC, the depression became a tropical storm, which was christened as Cindy. Cindy was heading slowly northward and slowed. Wind shear was that Cindy was improved and become a hurricane on July 6, around 0:00 UTC, to slightly less than 40 nautical miles south-southwest of Grand Isle (Louisiana).Maintaining its intensity, at 3:00 UTC, Cindy makes landfall southwest of Grand Isle. As I was moving along the coast of Louisiana, Cindy turned to the northeast and weakened into a tropical storm before making landfall at 9:00 UTC near Waveland (Mississippi). At 12:00 UTC, the southern state of Mississippi, the storm weakened to a tropical depression. After crossing Alabama and northern Georgia, depression merged with a stationary frontal system, becoming extratropical depression. The system crossed the Appalachians of North Carolina and Virginia and emerged into the Atlantic Ocean on the evening of July 8. On the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, the system turned to the north and, on July 9, reversal non-tropical storm east of Cape Cod (Massachusetts) before moving to Maine. The storm was losing strength as it was moving to New Brunswick (Canada) on July 10.Having shifted to the east, the remnants of the depression dissipated in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on 11 July 2005.
