caption_attribution_description: This Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from the Aqua satellite shows Tropical Storm Bill making landfall over the Gulf Coast of the United States. The storm may look a bit disorganized, but the threat of heavy rains, tornados, and flooding persisted for parts of the South, East and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. on July 1, 2003.
context_page_description: The 2003 Atlantic hurricane season was an active Atlantic hurricane season with tropical activity before and after the official bounds of the season – the first such occurrence in 50 years. The season officially began on June 1, 2003 and ended on November 30. However, a pre-season storm, Tropical Storm Ana, led to the season starting on April 20, and storm activity continued through December 11. The timeline includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned upon, has been included. This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, as well as dissipations during the season.
  This season had 21 tropical depressions, of which, 16 became named storms. Of these, 7 strengthened into hurricanes with 3 intensifying into major hurricanes. Hurricane Fabian, Hurricane Isabel, and Hurricane Juan had their names retired due to the impact caused in Bermuda, the eastern United States, and Nova Scotia respectively.
