Potential Tropical Cyclone One (PTC1) developed near the Yucatan Peninsula on June 2, and tracked across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on June 3. PTC1 crossed the southern Florida peninsula from late evening on June 3 through the late afternoon on June 2. Outer rain bands from PTC1 brought gusts to tropical storm force to the barrier islands and Intracoastal Waterway of the Treasure Coast and far southern Brevard County from late evening on June 4 through late afternoon on June 5. Sustained winds briefly reached sustained tropical storm force along the barrier island of far northern Indian River County. There were no direct or indirect tropical storm-related fatalities, and little to no other impacts from PTC1.
