'''Hurricane Elsa''' was the earliest [[hurricane]] in the [[Caribbean Sea]] since [[Hurricane Emily (2005)|Emily]] in [[2005 Atlantic hurricane season|2005]],<ref>{{Cite web|last=Klotzbach|first=Philip|date=July 2, 2021|title=#Elsa continues to intensify|url=https://twitter.com/philklotzbach/status/1411022364834471938|url-status=live|access-date=July 2, 2021|website=Twitter|language=en}}</ref> and also the earliest forming fifth-named storm on record in the [[Atlantic Ocean]], narrowly surpassing [[Tropical Storm Edouard (2020)|Edouard]] of [[2020 Atlantic hurricane season|the previous year]]. The fifth [[Tropical cyclone naming|named storm]] and first [[hurricane]] of the [[2021 Atlantic hurricane season]], Elsa was first monitored by the [[National Hurricane Center]] (NHC) as a [[tropical wave]] on June 29, and was designated as a [[Glossary of tropical cyclone terms#P|Potential Tropical Cyclone]] on the next day, while moving westward across the Atlantic. After showing signs of a better-defined low-level circulation, the cyclone was upgraded into a tropical depression early on July 1, then further to Tropical Storm Elsa a few hours later. After undergoing [[rapid intensification]], the following morning on July 2, Elsa was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, before peaking later that day, with maximum 1-minute sustained winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum [[atmospheric pressure|central pressure]] of {{convert|991|mbar|inHg}}. This made Elsa the strongest July hurricane recorded in the eastern Caribbean Sea since Emily in 2005, and also the fastest-moving Atlantic tropical cyclone recorded undergoing rapid intensification in that part of the Atlantic.<ref name="RI-1" /><ref name="RI-2" /> On July 3, Elsa weakened back into a tropical storm before slowing down by July 4, as it passed just north of [[Jamaica]]. On July 5, Elsa made [[landfall]] in Cuba, before emerging into the [[Gulf of Mexico]] early on the next day. It then paralleled the west coast of [[Florida]], briefly becoming a minimal hurricane again as it passed west of [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]], early on July 7. Elsa then weakened back to tropical storm, before making [[landfall]] later that day, with {{convert|65|mph|kph|abbr=on}} winds in [[Taylor County, Florida|Taylor County]], near the community of [[Steinhatchee, Florida|Steinhatchee]], in Florida. Afterward, Elsa began accelerating northeastward while strengthening, due to [[extratropical cyclone#Cyclogenesis|baroclinic forcing]].
As Elsa raced past the rest of the Antilles, it caused extensive damage to the islands. In [[Barbados]], the storm brought down trees, damaged roofs, caused widespread power outages, and caused flash flooding. Elsa prompted many [[Tropical cyclone warnings and watches|watches and warnings]] for Florida and the rest of the east coast as it moved towards the state's peninsula. On the night of [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]], U.S. President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration and assistance from FEMA for Florida. One person was killed in Florida, and another 17 were injured at a Georgia military base due to an [[Enhanced Fujita scale|EF2]] tornado.<ref name=":7">{{Cite news|title=Tropical Storm Elsa brings heavy rain to Carolinas after leaving 1 dead in Florida|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/1-dead-tropical-storm-elsa-moves-over-florida-georgia-n1273316|author1=Phil Helsel|author2=Wilson Wong|date=July 8, 2021|access-date=July 8, 2021|website=NBC News|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Holcombe|first=Madeline|last2=Ellis|first2=Ralph|last3=Guy|first3=Michael|date=July 5, 2021|title=Tropical Storm Elsa is making landfall in Cuba, expected to head toward Florida|work=[[CNN]]|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/05/weather/tropical-storm-elsa-monday/index.html|access-date=July 8, 2021}}</ref> At least 5 people were killed by Elsa, including 1 in Venezuela, 3 in the Caribbean and 1 in the United States.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hanna|first=Jason|last2=Vera|first2=Amir|date=July 8, 2021|title=At least 1 dead, multiple injured as Tropical Storm Elsa whips north Florida, pushing toward Georgia and the Carolinas|work=[[CNN]]|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/07/weather/hurricane-elsa-wednesday/index.html|access-date=July 8, 2021}}</ref> The storm has dealt upwards of $34 million in damage.<ref name="Saint Lucia crop damage" />

The fifth [[Tropical cyclone naming|named storm]] and first [[hurricane]] of the [[2021 Atlantic hurricane season]], Elsa was first monitored by the [[National Hurricane Center]] (NHC) as a [[tropical wave]] on June 29, and was designated as a [[Glossary of tropical cyclone terms#P|Potential Tropical Cyclone]] on the next day, while moving westward across the Atlantic. After showing signs of a better-defined low-level circulation, the cyclone was upgraded into a tropical depression early on July 1, then further to Tropical Storm Elsa a few hours later. After undergoing [[rapid intensification]], the following morning on July 2, Elsa was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, before peaking later that day, with maximum 1-minute sustained winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum [[atmospheric pressure|central pressure]] of {{convert|991|mbar|inHg}}. This made Elsa the strongest July hurricane recorded in the eastern Caribbean Sea since Emily in 2005, and also the fastest-moving Atlantic tropical cyclone recorded undergoing rapid intensification in that part of the Atlantic.<ref name="RI-1" /><ref name="RI-2" /> On July 3, Elsa weakened back into a tropical storm before slowing down by July 4, as it passed just north of [[Jamaica]]. On July 5, Elsa made [[landfall]] in Cuba, before emerging into the [[Gulf of Mexico]] early on the next day. It then paralleled the west coast of [[Florida]], briefly becoming a minimal hurricane again as it passed west of [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]], early on July 7. Elsa then weakened back to tropical storm, before making [[landfall]] later that day, with {{convert|65|mph|kph|abbr=on}} winds in [[Taylor County, Florida|Taylor County]], near the community of [[Steinhatchee, Florida|Steinhatchee]], in Florida. Afterward, Elsa began accelerating northeastward while strengthening, due to [[extratropical cyclone#Cyclogenesis|baroclinic forcing]].
As Elsa raced past the rest of the Antilles, it caused extensive damage to the islands. In [[Barbados]], the storm brought down trees, damaged roofs, caused widespread power outages, and caused flash flooding. Elsa prompted many [[Tropical cyclone warnings and watches|watches and warnings]] for Florida and the rest of the east coast as it moved towards the state's peninsula. On the night of [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]], U.S. President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration and assistance from FEMA for Florida. One person was killed in Florida, and another 17 were injured at a Georgia military base due to an [[Enhanced Fujita scale|EF2]] tornado.<ref name=":7">{{Cite news|title=Tropical Storm Elsa brings heavy rain to Carolinas after leaving 1 dead in Florida|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/1-dead-tropical-storm-elsa-moves-over-florida-georgia-n1273316|author1=Phil Helsel|author2=Wilson Wong|date=July 8, 2021|access-date=July 8, 2021|website=NBC News|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Holcombe|first=Madeline|last2=Ellis|first2=Ralph|last3=Guy|first3=Michael|date=July 5, 2021|title=Tropical Storm Elsa is making landfall in Cuba, expected to head toward Florida|work=[[CNN]]|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/05/weather/tropical-storm-elsa-monday/index.html|access-date=July 8, 2021}}</ref> At least 5 people were killed by Elsa, including 1 in Venezuela, 3 in the Caribbean and 1 in the United States.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hanna|first=Jason|last2=Vera|first2=Amir|date=July 8, 2021|title=At least 1 dead, multiple injured as Tropical Storm Elsa whips north Florida, pushing toward Georgia and the Carolinas|work=[[CNN]]|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/07/weather/hurricane-elsa-wednesday/index.html|access-date=July 8, 2021}}</ref> The storm has dealt upwards of $34 million in damage.<ref name="Saint Lucia crop damage" />

'''Hurricane Elsa''' was the earliest [[hurricane]] in the [[Caribbean Sea]] since [[Hurricane Emily (2005)|Emily]] in [[2005 Atlantic hurricane season|2005]],<ref>{{Cite web|last=Klotzbach|first=Philip|date=July 2, 2021|title=#Elsa continues to intensify|url=https://twitter.com/philklotzbach/status/1411022364834471938|url-status=live|access-date=July 2, 2021|website=Twitter|language=en}}</ref> and also the earliest forming fifth-named storm on record in the [[Atlantic Ocean]], narrowly surpassing [[Tropical Storm Edouard (2020)|Edouard]] of [[2020 Atlantic hurricane season|the previous year]]. The fifth [[Tropical cyclone naming|named storm]] and first [[hurricane]] of the [[2021 Atlantic hurricane season]], Elsa was first monitored by the [[National Hurricane Center]] (NHC) as a [[tropical wave]] on June 29, and was designated as a [[Glossary of tropical cyclone terms#P|Potential Tropical Cyclone]] on the next day, while moving westward across the Atlantic. After showing signs of a better-defined low-level circulation, the cyclone was upgraded into a tropical depression early on July 1, then further to Tropical Storm Elsa a few hours later. After undergoing [[rapid intensification]], the following morning on July 2, Elsa was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, before peaking later that day, with maximum 1-minute sustained winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum [[atmospheric pressure|central pressure]] of {{convert|991|mbar|inHg}}. This made Elsa the strongest July hurricane recorded in the eastern Caribbean Sea since Emily in 2005, and also the fastest-moving Atlantic tropical cyclone recorded undergoing rapid intensification in that part of the Atlantic.<ref name="RI-1" /><ref name="RI-2" /> On July 3, Elsa weakened back into a tropical storm before slowing down by July 4, as it passed just north of [[Jamaica]]. On July 5, Elsa made [[landfall]] in Cuba, before emerging into the [[Gulf of Mexico]] early on the next day. It then paralleled the west coast of [[Florida]], briefly becoming a minimal hurricane again as it passed west of [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]], early on July 7. Elsa then weakened back to tropical storm, before making [[landfall]] later that day, with {{convert|65|mph|kph|abbr=on}} winds in [[Taylor County, Florida|Taylor County]], near the community of [[Steinhatchee, Florida|Steinhatchee]], in Florida. Afterward, Elsa began accelerating northeastward while strengthening, due to [[extratropical cyclone#Cyclogenesis|baroclinic forcing]].
As Elsa raced past the rest of the Antilles, it caused extensive damage to the islands. In [[Barbados]], the storm brought down trees, damaged roofs, caused widespread power outages, and caused flash flooding. Elsa prompted many [[Tropical cyclone warnings and watches|watches and warnings]] for Florida and the rest of the east coast as it moved towards the state's peninsula. On the night of [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]], U.S. President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration and assistance from FEMA for Florida.

The fifth <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Tropical_cyclone_naming" title="Tropical cyclone naming">named storm</a> and first <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Hurricane" class="mw-redirect" title="Hurricane">hurricane</a> of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2021_Atlantic_hurricane_season" title="2021 Atlantic hurricane season">2021 Atlantic hurricane season</a>, Elsa was first monitored by the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/National_Hurricane_Center" title="National Hurricane Center">National Hurricane Center</a> (NHC) as a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Tropical_wave" title="Tropical wave">tropical wave</a> on June 29, and was designated as a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Glossary_of_tropical_cyclone_terms#P" title="Glossary of tropical cyclone terms">Potential Tropical Cyclone</a> on the next day, while moving westward across the Atlantic. After showing signs of a better-defined low-level circulation, the cyclone was upgraded into a tropical depression early on July 1, then further to Tropical Storm Elsa a few hours later. After undergoing <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Rapid_intensification" title="Rapid intensification">rapid intensification</a>, the following morning on July 2, Elsa was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, before peaking later that day, with maximum 1-minute sustained winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure" title="Atmospheric pressure">central pressure</a> of 991 millibars (29.3 inHg). This made Elsa the strongest July hurricane recorded in the eastern Caribbean Sea since Emily in 2005, and also the fastest-moving Atlantic tropical cyclone recorded undergoing rapid intensification in that part of the Atlantic.<sup id="cite_ref-RI-1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RI-1-2">[2]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-RI-2_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RI-2-3">[3]</a></sup> On July 3, Elsa weakened back into a tropical storm before slowing down by July 4, as it passed just north of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jamaica" title="Jamaica">Jamaica</a>. On July 5, Elsa made <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Landfall" title="Landfall">landfall</a> in Cuba, before emerging into the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico" title="Gulf of Mexico">Gulf of Mexico</a> early on the next day. It then paralleled the west coast of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Florida" title="Florida">Florida</a>, briefly becoming a minimal hurricane again as it passed west of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Tampa,_Florida" title="Tampa, Florida">Tampa</a>, early on July 7. Elsa then weakened back to tropical storm, before making <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Landfall" title="Landfall">landfall</a> later that day, with 65 mph (105 km/h) winds in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Taylor_County,_Florida" title="Taylor County, Florida">Taylor County</a>, near the community of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Steinhatchee,_Florida" title="Steinhatchee, Florida">Steinhatchee</a>, in Florida. Afterward, Elsa began accelerating northeastward while strengthening, due to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Extratropical_cyclone#Cyclogenesis" title="Extratropical cyclone">baroclinic forcing</a>.
</p><p>As Elsa raced past the rest of the Antilles, it caused extensive damage to the islands. In <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Barbados" title="Barbados">Barbados</a>, the storm brought down trees, damaged roofs, caused widespread power outages, and caused flash flooding. Elsa prompted many <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Tropical_cyclone_warnings_and_watches" title="Tropical cyclone warnings and watches">watches and warnings</a> for Florida and the rest of the east coast as it moved towards the state's peninsula. On the night of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)" title="Independence Day (United States)">Independence Day</a>, U.S. President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration and assistance from FEMA for Florida. One person was killed in Florida, and another 17 were injured at a Georgia military base due to an <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Enhanced_Fujita_scale" title="Enhanced Fujita scale">EF2</a> tornado.<sup id="cite_ref-:7_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:7-4">[4]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup> At least 5 people were killed by Elsa, including 1 in Venezuela, 3 in the Caribbean and 1 in the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> The storm has dealt upwards of $34 million in damage.<sup id="cite_ref-Saint_Lucia_crop_damage_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Saint_Lucia_crop_damage-7">[7]</a></sup>
