The table below contains detailed information on storm track and intensity. The date and time of observations are given first, followed by the storm's position with respect to latitude and longitude for each time step. The fourth column gives storm classification, while the last two columns show the central pressure in millibars and maximum sustained winds in miles per hour.

Each row is color-coded based upon storm classification (see legend).
