 Tropical Storm Marco was the only tropical cyclone to make landfall on the United States during the 1990 Atlantic hurricane season . The 13th named storm of the season , Marco formed from a cold @-@ core low pressure area along the northern coast of Cuba on October 9 , and tracked northwestward through the eastern Gulf of Mexico . With most of its circulation over the western portion of Florida , Tropical Storm Marco produced 65 mph ( 100 km / h ) winds over land . However , it weakened to a tropical depression before moving ashore near Cedar Key . The cyclone combined with a cold front and the remnants of Hurricane Klaus to produce heavy rainfall in Georgia and the Carolinas . After interacting with the nearby Hurricane Lili , Marco continued northward until being absorbed by a cold front on October 13 .
