Nate strengthened into a Tropical Storm on the morning of Thursday, October 5th, just off the coast of Nicaragua. Nate moved inland across Nicaragua and Honduras through Friday morning October 6th. Nate then moved north-northwest over the warm waters of the northwestern Caribbean Sea, where it gradually intensified. Just after passing through the Yucatan Channel, Nate officially reached hurricane status during the early morning hours of Saturday, October 7th. Hurricane Nate raced toward the central Gulf Coast and made its first landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River Saturday evening, October 7th. A second landfall near Biloxi, MS, came later that evening. Nate continued to accelerate northeastward and weaken as it crossed into west Alabama. Nate was downgraded to a Tropical Depression near Birmingham, AL, on the morning of Sunday, October 8th.  Nate produced gusty winds of 30-50 mph which downed numerous trees and power lines across central Alabama, and several weak tornadoes formed on its feeder bands. As the remnants of Nate tracked towards the New England States, a nearly stationary surface trough over southeast Alabama resulted in localized flash flooding in Chambers County on Monday, October 9th.
