This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. It includes information that was not released throughout the season, meaning that data from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as a storm not initially warned upon, has been included. Summarize the following text using ONLY facts from it. Do NOT invent references, emails, or links. If the text doesn't mention something, leave it out. The timeline includes all information from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and also use the 24-hour clock (where 00:00 = midnight UTC). In this time line, all information is listed by UTC first with the respective local time included in parentheses.
