Hurricane Elsa originated from a tropical depression that formed in the central Atlantic east of the Windward Islands on June 30th. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Elsa on July 1st and strengthened to a hurricane on July 2nd while moving westward across the Windward Islands and into the eastern Caribbean Sea, reaching peak intensity of 85 mph and 991 mb later that day. Elsa gradually turned northwest while moving across the Caribbean and weakened to a tropical storm before making landfall in Cuba on July 5th. Elsa emerged in the southeast Gulf of Mexico late on the 5th and turned north, re-strengthened to a hurricane and reached a second peak of 75 mph and 995 mb on July 6th while centered about 100 miles south-southwest of Tampa. Elsa once again weakened to a tropical storm as it approached the northern Florida gulf coast, and made landfall on July 7th in Taylor County around 10 AM EST with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and a minimum central pressure of 999 mb.
