Tropical Storm Abigail (2015)

Tropical Storm Abigail became the first Bloxington tropical storm in 2015. The first storm of the 2015 Bloxington hurricane season, Abigail was known for its large-scale transient faults across Northeastern Robloxia on May 31.

Abigail did not cause any Robloxian deaths but caused the deaths of 21 non-Robloxians. Its impact across the Northeast caused its name to be retired and replaced with Aria for the 2021 Bloxington Hurricane Season.

Due to Abigail, 10 million Robloxian children across the Northeast were impacted in some way or another. This resulted in a lot of children being very upset and complaining to their parents the next day, which was known as "the worst May 31 ever" by many.

It caused more than 40,000 reports of transient faults for every state in Northeastern Robloxia as straight-line winds of 70 mph downed trees and further collapsed the Blox Electricity power plant.

= Meteorological History = A tropical wave exited the coast of BloxAfrica on May 19. The tropical wave was given a "near zero percent" chance of tropical development by the Robloxia Hurricane Center. However, convection increased at the center on May 20. Tropical Depression One was declared on May 21 at 0400 BST. At 1000 BST, the storm strengthened, but still was a Tropical Depression with 23 MPH winds and little thunderstorm activity. Tropical Depression Abigail weakened on May 23 with 20 MPH winds. Abigail battled through water temperatures but managed to stay intact for 12 hours. At this point, Abigail was about 600 miles east of an archipelago; Abigail was subsequently re-classified as Subtropical Depression Abigail on May 24. On May 25, Abigail regained tropical characteristics and strengthened back into a minimal tropical storm. At this point, Abigail was expected to dissipate into an extratropical cyclone by May 26.

Abigail battled through wind shear and cold waters as it fluctuated for the next four days before entering Robloxia owned waters on May 29. Here, decreased wind shear and warm waters gave the storm a chance of intensification. At 0400 BST on May 29, Walter strengthened to 26 MPH winds. At the 1000 advisory, Abigail, having strengthened into a tropical storm, strengthened to 41 MPH winds. At the 1600 advisory, Abigail strengthened to 53 MPH winds. By 2200, Abigail strengthened to 61 MPH winds. At 0400, it was reported that Abigail had reached 67 MPH winds. Further strengthening was not predicted as the storm was initially slated to make an unusual landfall northwest of New Bloxia in Bloxanada late on May 30. However, Abigail made a "great loop", retaining its tropical storm status and reaching its peak intensity of 70 MPH winds and 990 mbar pressure at 1600 on May 30. Walter then retained its peak intensity early on May 31 as it took an expected turn into northwest New Blockers City by the 1000 advisory. Abigail then made landfall near New Blockers City at 1600 on May 31, causing heavy rains and thunderstorms. By 1900, Abigail had weakened as it moved into western New Rampshire.

As Abigail made landfall, the storm essentially split into two non-tropical areas of low pressure. One moved into the Robloxian Mountain Range, while the other turned farther east (the one that was still officially considered Abigail). Abigail weakened to a Tropical Depression by early June 1 but continued to cause heavy rain/snow. Abigail subsequently moved eastward and moved off the New Rampshire Coast on June 2.

Heavy rain/snow were reported all over the Northeast on June 1. Torrential rains/snows also occurred as far north as New Rampshire and its surrounding mountains, with the capital of the state of New Rampshire seeing 1.78 inches of rain that June 1 and its surrounding mountains seeing 17.8 inches of snow that June 1.
