 Hurricane Nate was an Atlantic hurricane that threatened Bermuda but remained at sea during early September 2005 . The fourteenth named storm and seventh hurricane of the annual Atlantic hurricane season , Nate formed southwest of Bermuda on September 5 and initially moved very slowly to the northeast . Early forecasts suggested a possible threat to the island , but Nate passed well to its south as a Category 1 hurricane on September 8 . After moving away from the island , the storm entered a region with cooler sea surface temperatures and unfavorable wind shear , causing it to weaken to a tropical storm before becoming extratropical on September 10 . The extratropical remnant was later absorbed by a larger weather system .
