Tropical Storm Bonnie was a small tropical storm that moved through the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico before hitting Florida in August of 2004. Bonnie, the second storm of the season, was the first of five tropical systems to make landfall on Florida in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season; it also was the second of a record eight disturbances to reach tropical storm strength during the month of August.

Bonnie's impact throughout its path was minimal. Throughout the Caribbean Sea, the storm mainly caused light rainfall, and in Florida, rainfall caused flooding and minor damage. Bonnie caused a tornado outbreak across the Southeastern United States, killing three and causing over $1 million (2004 USD) in damage.
