Tropical Storm Juliet - October 10-12,
1978
Juliet formed from a weak tropical wave that emerged off the African
coast on September 30th. It moved
west-northwest, forming into a tropical depression by midday on October
7th about 600 miles east of San
Juan, Puerto Rico. By the morning of the 8th, the system had
become a tropical storm 400 miles east-
northeast of San Juan. On the 9th, it passed 150 miles north of
San Juan. The system accelerated northwest
and weakened, last seen 300 miles southwest of Bermuda before becoming
absorbed into a nontropical low.
