decreased at 12Z on the 4th for more realistic decay.

1871/03: Only major change from Partagas and Diaz (1995b) was to
extend track of storm one full day into the SE United States to
accommodate a typical decay of the hurricane to tropical depression
strength, as suggested by the inland decay model of Kaplan and
DeMaria (1995). Partagas and Diaz (1995b) did make large changes to
the track found in Neumann et al. (1993), though these are found to be
reasonable. 952 mb central pressure provides guidance of 101 kt using
the subtropical latitude wind-pressure relationship - 100 kt used in
the best track. 955 mb central pressure provides guidance of 99 kt
using the subtropical latitude wind-pressure relationship - 100 kt
used in the best track. Storm is determined to have reached major
hurricane status based upon above central pressure measurements.

Hurricane is revised from the previously accepted analysis of Partagas
and Diaz due to inclusion of work by Ho (1989). In particular, additional
observations were provided from New Smyrna, Fairview, Ocala, Picolata,
Tampa, Jacksonville (FL), and Savannah (GA). These land-based measurements
from Ho's study were key in providing the track alteration to one that
made landfall in central east Florida, passed over Ocala, moved west of
Jacksonville, then back over water off of southern Georgia. However, Ho's
intensity analysis of a 945 mb central pressure is likely too low an
estimation as a 955 mb central pressure recorded by the ship "Victor"
(as recorded in Partagas and Diaz 1995b) occurred very near the coast,
along Jupiter. Hurricane is re-analyzed to come ashore early on the 23rd
as a tropical storm in Georgia since there is no evidence that it
reintensified to a hurricane after weakening to a tropical storm while
over Florida.
********************************************************************************
1871/04: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1995b), who
made large alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1993).
These track changes are found to be reasonable. 965 mb central
pressure provides guidance for 95 kt utilizing the southern wind-
pressure relationship - 100 kt chosen for best track. 962 mb central
pressure suggests 98 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship
- 100 kt chosen for best track. Inland decay model of Kaplan and
DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the SE United States.
Storm is determined to have reached major hurricane status based upon
above central pressure measurements. This hurricane is known as
"Santa Juana" for its impacts in Puerto Rico.

reasonable small track changes from that shown in Neumann et al. (1993),
originally storm number 5. Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995)
