| Hurricane Carla 1961

 Carla formed in the Caribbean Sea, and moved west-northwest into the Gulf of Mexico while it developed into a large and powerful hurricane. It followed the periphery of a subtropical ridge and curved northward into Matagorda Bay as a major hurricane. Thereafter, it linked up with a frontal zone and transitioned into a nontropical low as it sped northeast through the Mid-Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes. Below are the graphics showing the storm total ainfall. Note how the heaviest rain was mainly to the right of the track until it reached north Texas. Thereafter, the maximum amounts were concentrated along a frontal band ahead of the cyclone as it became nontropical.
