User:Icelandic Hurricane/Sandbox/Hurricane Beth (1971)

An upper level low led to the formation of a tropical depression on August 10 just off the coast of Florida. The storm remained weak for the next 4 days, due to the cooler atmosphere about the storm, but on the 14th, conditions became more favorable, with the depression reaching tropical storm strength, and hurricane strength 12 hours later. Beth quickly moved to the northeast, and hit Nova Scotia as a minimal hurricane on the 16th. Beth became extratropical the next day.
