Hermine developed from a tropical wave which moved off the coast of Africa on September 11. It began to cross the Caribbean over the next several days, thought a there was no evidence of a closed circulation. Finally, by September 20, a well-defined circulation became present; this allowed the system to become classified as Tropical Depression Eleven. Over the next few days, it strengthened into Tropical Storm Hermine and nearly became a hurricane before it made landfall in Belize as a strong tropical storm.
