1883/01:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). Pressure reading of 975 mb not in hurricane's center (at 18 UTC on the 26th of August) suggests winds of at least 78 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track.  The best track provided appears to describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation as a tropical storm to its peak as a hurricane until its dissipation as an extratropical storm).  Storm is determined to have reached hurricane intensity based upon the peripheral pressure and several ship reports.

1883/02:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). 983 mb central pressure suggests winds of 70 kt from the northern
wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt used in best track.  A pressure reading of 948 mb not at the hurricane's center (at 00 UTC on the 29th of August) suggests winds of at least 98 kt from the northern wind-
pressure relationship - 110 kt utilized in best track.  A 963 mb central pressure measured during the storm's extratropical stage suggests winds of 88 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship -
80 kt chosen for best track as it had already undergone extratropical transition.  Storm is determined to have reached major hurricane intensity based upon the 948 mb peripheral pressure measurement.

1883/03:  Only major change from Partagas and Diaz (1996) is to remove 12 and 18 UTC on the 13th of September as it is suggested that the hurricane had decreased below tropical storm force winds by that time. Track from Partagas and Diaz (1996) is otherwise reasonably altered from Neumann et al. (1993).  Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the eastern United States.  A pressure reading of 955 mb not at the hurricane's center (at 12 UTC on the 4th of September) suggests winds of at least 105 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 110 kt chosen for best track.  A pressure reading of 978 mb not at the hurricane's center (at 18 UTC on the 8th) suggests winds of at least 80 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 90 kt chosen for best track.  A pressure reading of 982 mb not at the hurricane's center (at 06 UTC on the 10th) suggests winds of at least 73 kt - 90 kt chosen for best track.  Storm determined to have reached major hurricane intensity while over the Atlantic based upon peripheral pressure reading of 955 mb and from extreme damage in Martinique.

1883/04:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), who altered the track reasonably from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993). A pressure reading of 983 mb (at 18 UTC on the 27th of October) suggests winds of at least 70 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen in best track as the storm had already undergone extratropical transformation.  Storm did not reach hurricane intensity as a tropical cyclone, but did obtain hurricane-force sustained winds on the 27th of October as an extratropical storm.
