ORLANDO, Fla. — New information on Hurricane Elsa spun into formation last week, seven months after the first hurricane of the 2021 season took form.
The National Hurricane Center released Friday its findings on the Category 1 hurricane that made landfall July 7 in the United States along Florida’s big bend as a tropical storm.
The 2021 storm was notable to meteorologists for many reasons, including its longevity. Elsa lasted eight days as a named storm, which was the most named storm days for an Atlantic storm forming in July since 2008′s Bertha, according to Philip Klotzbach, a meteorologist of Colorado State University.
