U.S. and Cuban meteorologists disagreed on whether it ever actually was a tropical storm at all. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami pegged its peak sustained winds at 40 miles per hour, just over the 39 mph threshold to become a named storm. Cuban forecasters put the top winds at 37 mph and disagreed that it was a tropical storm when it crossed the island.
