On May 24, yet another organized area of low-pressure began to take on tropical characteristics as convection developed in the center of the low. Hours later, the wind speeds in the core of the storm reached 30 MPH, thus resulting in the formation of Tropical Depression Twelve. Early the next day, May 25, the storm reached speeds of 45 MPH, thus earning the name "Logan." Logan continued to track WNW as it developed a small eye, which continued to organize as the pressure in the core of the storm continued to drop. Within hours, Logan strengthened to 65 MPH as Tropical Storm Watches were issued for the Turks and Caicos. Soon after, Logan reached speeds of 75 MPH, having become a Category 1 hurricane. Logan then shifted directly northwest, having missed a direct hit by 200 miles, although the islands were still hit by Logan's outer circulation and moisture, resulting in steady rainfall for most of the day, especially near Cockburn Town. On May 26, Logan started to shift NNE as it passed to the east of the Bahamas after strengthening to 100 MPH due to the Brown Ocean Effect, which also resulted in a 10 mbar pressure drop and an increase in size by 40 square miles, causing Logan's wind fields to greatly expand.

Logan's western eyewall hit the outer edges of the Bahamas, which experienced 80 MPH winds and heavy rainfall throughout the day, May 26. Ten-foot waves resulted in moderate damage to piers and small craft, while 80 MPH winds caused short-lived power outages and minor structural damage to most buildings, with the exception of smaller, wooden buildings which were overturned in the powerful winds. In total, Logan caused nearly $98 million in damages in the Bahamas and resulted in eight fatalities. On May 27, Logan entered the Northern Atlantic as the storm began to shift northeast. Due to the shift in track, the NHC issued Hurricane Warnings for Bermuda a day before the storm's landfall, as well as advisories for the Eastern United States in order to prepare for abnormally rough seas and powerful rip currents Logan caused as it passed to the east of the country. Prior to Logan's landfall in Bermuda, large swells of water were responsible for severe damage to harbors in the Carolinas, as 4-5 foot waves caused a plethora of craft to snap their moorings or crash into other watercraft in their respective harbors. On May 28, Logan peaked at 105 MPH and 965 mbar, just hours before making landfall in Bermuda. At 6 P.M. EST, Logan made a direct hit on Bermuda, which had finished evacuations just hours prior. Logan's intense winds caused extensive, long-lived power outages across the island, as well as severe structural damage and downed trees and electrical wires. Heavy rains caused flash flooding; nearly 12 inches of rain fell. In some areas, rainfall was so intense it caused the roofs of some buildings to collapse. Several weak tornadoes were recorded on the island during Logan's second eyewall, though none intensified past the EF0 ranking. In total, Logan was responsible for sixteen fatalities in Bermuda, as well as causing $360 million in damages. Logan began to weaken shortly afterwards, continuing to track northeast, over cooler waters. Logan then shifted NNW as it underwent an eyewall-replacement cycle due to wind shear, causing the storm to disorganize, but still produce very powerful winds exceeding 70 MPH. On June 1, Logan weakened back to a 50 MPH tropical storm which later dissipated off the coast of Nova Scotia.

On May 30, a low-pressure system developed 345 miles west of the island of Grenada. Due to low levels of wind shear, as well as abnormally warm waters of 91º Fahrenheit, the system became a depression with 35 MPH winds in under an hour. The system stayed to the north of Venezuela, which received only light rains from the storm's outer rain bands. Still staying to the north of the country, the depression reached tropical storm strength 89 miles north of Aruba, earning the name "Nolan." Waves as high as four feet impacted Aruba and the coast of western Venezuela due to rapidly decreasing pressure in the core of the system, as convection began to increase thunderstorm activity in the inner eyewall. On June 1, the intensification of Nolan continued at a torrid pace as the system strengthened to 65 MPH, along with a drop in pressure to 974 mbar. Hours later, Nolan began to shift northwest over the center of the Caribbean, where full intensification took place, having become an 80 MPH Category 1 hurricane. Due to much uncertainty of Nolan's track, the NHC issued minimal Hurricane Warnings extending from Jamaica, Cuba, the Yucatán, and Nicaragua, though Nolan continued to track northwest. When Nolan was 200 miles southwest of Jamaica, the storm hit 100 MPH as its wind fields expanded as the storm's organization improved further still.

Intense rip currents and large waves affected Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Honduras, resulting in the closure of many beaches in these areas. Waves exceeding seven feet in height hit Negril, Jamaica, resulting in the closure of many beaches, as well as severe coastal flooding. Intense rip currents led to over fifty rescues of swimmers pulled out to sea by rough seas. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported at this time. Continuing on a track similar to Emily of 2005, Nolan's size continued to increase in size as the storm's area now totaled 700 square miles, so the storm's outer eyewall was impacting Honduras, with winds estimated to be 70 MPH. Fortunately, the storm's fast movement resulted in only three inches of rainfall in the area, having resulted in minimal damages and no fatalities. Shortly after, on June 4, a recon flight found winds near 115 MPH in the storm's core, thus resulting in its upgrade to Category 3. The NHC then issued Major Hurricane Warnings for the Yucatán Peninsula a day before landfall. Hours later, Nolan peaked at 120 MPH, along with a pressure of 959 mbar as it approached the coast of the Yucatán. On June 5, Nolan weakened slightly, down to 110 MPH prior to its landfall Tulum. Evacuations were not mandatory, thus resulting in the fact that many people stayed in their homes during the storm. Winds exceeding 100 MPH caused widespread power outages and resulted in severe damage to buildings. Over 60,000 homes were damaged beyond repair. The storm also flattened forests, resulting in the isolating of many communities, as well as diverting thousands of flights in and around the country. Nolan took on annular characteristics as it remained over land, not weakening at all. On June 7, Nolan emerged over the western Gulf and began to shift NNW. After hitting a fairly weak trough of wind shear in the Gulf, causing the storm to degenerate down to 95 MPH, Nolan shifted west, strengthening back to 100 MPH in under an hour. Minimal hurricane warnings were issued for Eastern Mexico as the storm made landfall in Tampico as a weakened 80 MPH Category 1 hurricane with a seven-foot storm surge. The surge was less a threat when compared to the winds and rain produced during Nolan's second landfall. Winds remained sustained near 85 MPH, although an extreme wind gust in San Luis Potosí was recorded at 145 MPH, resulting in heavy and sustained damages to buildings and trees in the area. Storm Chaser Doug Kiesling, who was in the area at the time of the powerful gust reported that a line of electrical wires snapped in a stunning explosion of sparks during the gust, thus cutting power to the entire area. Nolan weakened to a 60 MPH storm with tropical characteristics as it moved further inland, causing extensive damage and drenching the country with over 25 inches of rain, an abnormally high statistic for tropical storms. On June 8, Nolan dissipated on the Mexico - Texas border, having caused $18 billion dollars in damage and resulting in 54 fatalities, having been one of the most destructive hurricanes to strike Mexico in Atlantic history.
