Only seven hurricanes have been tracked in the Atlantic during this time of year since 1966.
However, Sebastian is only expected to be a low-intensity hurricane—Category 1 at the highest—and will likely weaken into an extratropical cyclone in about 48 hours. The storm is expected to completely dissipate by the end of the weekend.
It's been three years since last time a hurricane developed in the Atlantic this late in November. Tropical Storm Otto was deemed a Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall on the Nicaragua and Costa Rica border on November 23, 2016. There have been six other hurricanes tracked in late November since meteorologists began watching storm activity via satellite in 1966, including 1969's Hurricane Martha, Hurricane Karl in 1980, Hurricane Lili in 1984, Hurricane Nicole in 1998, Hurricane Olga in 2001 and Hurricane Epsilon in 2005. However, those hurricanes remained over the open ocean and failed to make it to land before blowing out.
The worst hurricane of the 2019 season was Hurricane Dorian, which slammed into the Bahamas in September. Dorian was a Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds at 160 miles per hour when it made landfall. The storm caused devastating damage to the islands and claimed the lives of 56 people.

Tropical Storm Sebastien is expected to develop into a hurricane in the Atlantic on November 21, 2019.
