Meteorological history
The origins of the cyclone were from an area of convection, or thunderstorms, that developed on May 24 off the west coast of Costa Rica.[1] At the time, there was a trough in the region that extended into the southwestern Caribbean Sea, associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone.[2] The system drifted northwestward, and conditions favored further development.[3] On May 25, the convection became more concentrated, and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted the potential for a tropical depression to develop.[4] The next day, it briefly became disorganized,[5] as its circulation was broad and elongated; however, the disturbance was in a very moist environment, and multiple low level centers gradually organized into one.[6]
Preparations and impact
As a developing tropical disturbance, the system was expected to produce heavy rainfall for several days along the Pacific coastline from Nicaragua to the Gulf of Tehuantepec.[6]
