2003 Pacific hurricane seasonFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2003 Pacif ic hurricane season was a below

average season that produced an unusually large

number of tropical cyclones which aff ected Mexico.The most notable cyclones during the year were

Hurricanes Ignacio and Marty, which killed 2 and

12 people in Mexico, respectively, and were

collectively responsible for about $1 billion (2003

USD) in damage. Three other Pacific storms, two of

which wer e hurricanes, and three Atlantic storms also

had a direct impact on Mexico. The only other

significant storm of the season was Hurricane

Jimena, which passed just to the south of Hawaii, the

first storm to directly threaten Hawaii for severalears.

The season officially started on May 15, 2003 in the

eastern Pacific, and on June 1, 2003 in the central

Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 2003. These

dates conventionally delimit the period of each year

when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern

Pacific Ocean. The season saw 16 tropical storms

form, of which 7 became hurricanes, which is about

average. However, this season was the first Pacifichurricane season since 1977 to have no systems

become major hurricanes by reaching Category 3 or

higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

Season summary

Preseason forecasts

On June 12, 2003, NOAA published a forecast

for the East Pacific hurricane season, the first

time it had done so. The scientists predicted a50% chance of below normal activity this

season, due to the expectation that La Niña

conditions would develop. La Niña conditions

generally restrict tropical cyclone development

in the northeast Pacific, which is the opposite

of its effect in the Atlantic.[1]

On May 19, 2003, NOAA published its forecast for the Central Pacific hurricane season. The forecast

called for a slightly below level of activity in 2003, due to the same forecast of the onset of La Niña

which would later prompt the low forecast for the Eastern Pacific.[2]

Seasonal activity

There were 16 named storms and 7 hurricanes during the 2003 Pacific hurricane season, which is

comparable with the long-term averages. However, there were no major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher

on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale); the first time this had happened in the eastern Pacific since

1977, and is well below the long-term average of four. The first hurricane, Ignacio, formed on August24. This is the latest formation of the first hurricane of a season recorded in the east Pacific since reliable

satellite observation began in 1966.[3]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)

Whilst the total activity was below average, there was an

unusually high number of landfalls in Mexico. A total of eight

Pacific and North Atlantic tropical cyclones had a direct impact

in Mexico in 2003, second only to 1971 when 9 did so. This

compares to the long-term average of 4.2 Atlantic and east

Pacific storms affecting Mexico. Five Pacific storms impacted

Mexico, of which Hurricanes Ignacio and Marty both hit the state

of Baja California Sur as hurricanes.[3]

The combined damagefrom the two hurricanes totaled about $1 billion (2003 USD).[4]

Two other storms hit mainland Mexico as tropical storms and a

third as a tropical depression.[3] Three storms hit Mexico within a

very short space of time, the Pacific hurricanes Nora and Olaf, and the Atlantic Tropical Storm Larry. As

a result of the flooding caused by these storms, disaster areas were declared in 14 states.[5]

Activity in the Central Pacific was below average, with only one tropical depression forming in the basin

and one hurricane entering the basin from the east Pacific. In addition a third system, Tropical Storm

Guillermo, weakened to a remnant low just to the east of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of

responsibility. Although activity was generally low, Hurricane Jimena was the first direct threat to the

Hawaiian Islands for several years and a hurricane watch was issued for the island of Hawaii. Jimena

passed to the south, but still brought tropical storm force gusts and heavy rain to the island.[6]

Storms

Tropical Storm Andres

A tropical wave developed into a tropicaldepression on May 19 well to the south of Mexico

as it moved west. A good outflow developed and it

became a tropical storm the next day, before

reaching its peak strength with winds of 60 mph

(95 km/h). Increasing shear prevented any further

development as the storm quickly west-northwest.

On May 25 the shear and a reduction in water

temperatures weakened Andres to a tropical

depression and it dissipated soon after. The storm

did not approach land.[7]

Tropical Storm Blanca

Tropical Depression Two-E formed when an

organized tropical wave interacted with another

disturbance near the southwestern Mexican coastearly on June 17. The storm strengthened and

became Tropical Storm Blanca 12 hours later. The

storm moved slowly to the west and reached its

peak on June 18 with 60 mph (95 km/h) winds.Although Blanca never developed a true eye, at its

peak there was a ring of convection resembling one.

Under the influence of strong shear from the

southeast Blanca began to weaken and move

erratically. The storm degenerated to a remnant low

on June 22 and lasted a further two days. There

were no effects from Blanca on land.[8]

Tropical Storm Carlos

Tropical Storm Carlos formed on June 26 from a

tropical wave to the south of Mexico. It quicklystrengthened as it approached the coast, and early

on June 27 Carlos moved ashore in Oaxaca with

winds of 65 mph (100 km/h). The storm rapidly

deteriorated to a remnant low, which persisted until

dissipating on June 29.[9] Carlos brought heavy

rainfall to portions of southern Mexico, peaking at

337 mm (13.3 in) in two locations in Guerrero.[10]

Throughout its path, the storm damaged about

30,000 houses, with a monetary damage total of

$86.7 million pesos (2003 MXN, $8 million

2003 USD).[11] At least nine people were killed

throughout the country, seven due to mudslides and

two from river flooding; there was also a report of two missing fishermen.[12][13]

Tropical Storm Dolores

Convection developed within an area of low

pressure embedded in a tropical wave as it moved

west. The disturbance organized into TropicalDepression Four-E on July 6 well to the south-

southwest of the tip of the Baja California

Peninsula. It soon strengthened further into Tropical

Storm Dolores as it moved to the northwest and

reached its peak as a minimal tropical storm with

winds of 40 mph (65 km/h). However, wind shear

had an adverse effect on Dolores, and it weakened

back into a depression 12 hours after becoming a

tropical storm. The northwest motion brought it

over colder water and it dissipated on July 9.[14]

Tropical Storm Enrique

On July 10, a tropical wave formed into Tropical

Depression Five-E. The storm became more

organized and was named Tropical Storm Enrique

the next day at an unusually high latitude. The

storm continued to strengthen and at one point was

forecast to briefly become a hurricane.[15] This did

not occur as the storm reached its peak strength

with 65 mph (100 km/h) winds. It maintained thisstrength before moving over significantly cooler

water late on July 12. Due to the cold water

temperatures Enrique rapidly weakened, despite

favorable atmospheric conditions. The storm

degenerated into a remnant low late on July 13 and

continued to move west before dissipating after a

further 3 days. Enrique had no effects on land, but

there were two ship reports of tropical storm force

winds.[16]

Tropical Storm Felicia

A tropical wave passed over Central America on

July 12 and started to become more organized two

days later. It formed into a tropical depression on

July 17 as it continued to move to the west. The

depression became Tropical Storm Felicia the next

day and as there was low shear over the system, the

NHC predicted that it would become a minimalhurricane.[17] However, the storm remained

disorganized and peaked with 50 mph (85 km/h)

winds late on July 18. The storm gradually

weakened under increasing shear as it headed west,

weakening back to a tropical depression on July 20.

The remnant low entered the central Pacific before

dissipating on July 24 well to the east of Hawaii.

Felicia had no effect on land.[18]

Tropical Storm Guillermo

A weak surface low developed within a tropical

wave on August 6 and the convection associated

with it became isolated from that of the wave. The

circulation of the system became better defined a

Tropical Depression Seven-E formed early the next

day. Although the depression was initially forecast

to dissipate quickly,[19] it became more organized as

it moved to the west. On August 8 it becameTropical Storm Guillermo and it reached its peak

strength with 60 mph (95 km/h) winds that day. It

maintained this strength for a full day, until outflow

disrupted its convection. The remnant low entered

the central Pacific shortly before dissipating on

August 13.[20]

Tropical Storm Hilda

A tropical wave developed persistent thunderstorm

activity on August 5, which soon became moreorganized, forming into Tropical Depression Eight-

E to the south of Cabo San Lucas. An impressive

outflow pattern caused the NHC to predict an

intensification to hurricane strength,[21] but strong

easterly shear affected the system. The depression

became Tropical Storm Hilda on August 10 but did

not get any stronger than a minimal tropical storm

with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h). Hilda moved

west-northwest before it moved over colder waters,

which caused it to weaken. Low-level flow forced

the weakening cyclone westwards and it dissipated

on August 13, having never approached land.[22]

Tropical Depression One-C

The only tropical cyclone to form in the central

Pacific in 2003 developed on August 15, and

resulted from an interaction between remnants of

Tropical Storm Guillermo and a non-tropical low.Unfavorable wind shear prevented the development

of the depression and weakened as it drifted to the

west. It weakened to a remnant low on August 17

and never regained depression strength. The

remnant passed just south of Johnston Atoll before

it crossed the International Date Line on August 20.

The storm had a minimal effect on the weather of

the Hawaiian Islands.[6]

Hurricane Ignacio

A tropical wave organized into a distinct area of

disturbed weather just south of the Mexican port of

Manzanillo, Colima, on August 22 and gradually

moved to the northwest. It became Tropical

Depression Nine-E off Cabo Corrientes in the state

of Jalisco two days later and under the influence of favorable atmospheric conditions rapidly

strengthened. It was named Tropical Storm Ignacio

on August 25 before it peaked as a 105 mph

(165 km/h) hurricane on August 26, the first of the

season. Ignacio entered the southern Gulf of

California before it made landfall just to the east of

La Paz, Baja California Sur. Ignacio weakened

overland and dissipated early on August 28 over

central Baja California.[23]

Due to the storm's slow movement, rainfall was high and the resulting flooding was severe,[23] and

Ignacio was responsible for approximately $21 million (US$) of damage. [24] Two rescue workersdrowned in the flood waters brought by the storm and some 10,000 people were evacuated to

shelters.[25]

Hurricane Jimena

On August 28, an area of disturbed weather within

the Intertropical Convergence Zone developed into

Tropical Depression Ten-E, some 1725 miles

(2775 km) east of the Hawaiian Islands. The stormrapidly developed over warm ocean waters, gaining

an eye shortly before it became Hurricane Jimena

on August 29. The storm moved to the west,

entering the central Pacific as it continued to

strengthen. After reaching its peak strength with

105 mph (165 km/h) winds 800 miles (1300 km) to

the east of Hawaii it began to weaken as a result of

increased shear. The storm passed about 120 miles

(195 km) to the south of the southern tip of Hawaii

on September 1, just after losing hurricane strength.The storm then moved west, south of the

archipelago, becoming a tropical depression on

September 3. The weakening Jimena crossed the

International Date Line before dissipating on September 5.[26]

The storm brought 6 to 10 inches (150 to 250 mm) of rain and 11 foot (3.3 m) surf to the island of

Hawaii. There were also tropical storm force winds recorded on several of the Hawaiian Islands, but

there was no significant damage.[27]

Tropical Storm Kevin

A large low pressure area developed within a

tropical wave and organized slowly into Tropical

Depression Eleven-E on September 3 south-

southwest of the tip of Baja California. The broad

wind field prevented rapid intensification and the

system reached tropical storm strength on

September 4. Although wind shear was light, Kevin

weakened into a depression after just six hours, as itmoved over colder waters. On September 6 the

system degenerated to a non-convective low

pressure area, which managed to survive for four

days before finally dissipating. Tropical Storm

Kevin had no effects on land.[28]

Hurricane Linda

Convection began to increase in a tropical wave on

September 9 and a few days later a surface lowdeveloped. On September 12 it organized into

Tropical Depression Twelve-E to the southwest of

the Mexican port of Manzanillo, Colima. The

cyclone moved to the northwest, becoming a

tropical storm on September 14 before reaching its

peak strength as a Category 1 hurricane with

75 mph (120 km/h) winds. The National Hurricane

Center predicted further strengthening,[29] but this

did not occur and Linda weakened back to a

tropical storm after just 12 hours as a hurricane. As

the storm continued to weaken it turned to the west

and then to the southwest, becoming a tropical

depression on September 17. The remnant drifted to the southwest and finally dissipated on September

26. There were no reports of any effects from this storm.[30]

Hurricane Marty

A tropical wave moved into the Pacific Ocean on

September 10 and the convection associated with itgradually increased. By September 16, while the

system was south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, it

organized into Tropical Depression Thirteen-E. The

depression strengthened as it headed towards the

Baja California Peninsula, becoming a tropical

storm on September 19 and a hurricane two days

later. Hurricane Marty reached its peak strength on

September 22, just before it made landfall at Cabo

San Lucas, when it was packing winds of 100 mph

(155 km/h). After moving over the southern tip of the peninsula Marty moved up the western coast of

the Gulf of California, gradually weakening as it

did so. The storm weakened to a tropical depression

on September 23 and dissipated two days later after meandering over the northern Gulf.[31]

Hurricane Marty was the deadliest storm of the 2003 Pacific hurricane season and was responsible for 12

deaths and either damaged or destroyed over 4,000 homes. It brought heavy rainfall to the entire region

and some rain affected the Southwest United States.[31] A 5 foot (1.5 m) storm surge flooded parts of La

Paz, Baja California Sur, and sank 35 yachts moored in various ports.[32]

Marty was also the costliesteast Pacific storm of the year and was responsible for $50 million of damage in western Mexico.[24]

A tropical wave moved over Central America on

September 25 and moved parallel to the south

Mexican coast. It became more organized on

October 1 and developed into Tropical Depression

Fourteen-E to the south of the Baja California

Peninsula. It continued to strengthen as it moved

northwest in favorable conditions, becoming a

tropical storm the next day. On October 4 it becamea hurricane and reached its peak that day with

105 mph (165 km/h) winds. Nora made a sharp turn

to the east and began to weaken, as the result of the

influence of a mid-level trough and the outflow

from Hurricane Olaf to the southeast. The cyclone

rapidly weakened before it made landfall just north

of Mazatlán, Sinaloa, on October 9. Nora dissipated

over land soon after landfall. Hurricane Nora was

the strongest storm of the season and brought heavy rain to the state of Sinaloa, but there was no

significant damage or casualties.[33]

Hurricane Olaf

A tropical wave became increasingly organized on

October 2 to the south-southeast of Acapulco and

developed into Tropical Depression Fifteen-E the

next day. The depression strengthened into Tropical

Storm Olaf six hours after forming as it moved to

the northwest in a low shear environment. Olaf

reached its peak strength as a minimal hurricane

with 75 mph (120 km/h) winds on October 5 and

developed a partial eyewall. The storm soon

became disorganized and was only a hurricane for a

few hours, before turning towards the Mexican

coast. Olaf made landfall near Manzanillo, Colima,

on October 7 and soon dissipated overland.[34]

The storm caused severe flooding in the states of

Jalisco and Guanajuato which damaged crops, roads and over 12,000 houses. However, there were nodeaths as a result of Hurricane Olaf.[34]

Hurricane Patricia

On October 20 the convection associated with a

tropical wave became more organized, and Tropical

Depression Sixteen-E formed to the south of

Acapulco. It soon became Tropical Storm Patricia

and reached hurricane strength on October 21, as it

moved further west. 12 hours later, its winds hadincreased to 80 mph (130 km/h) and the NHC

forecast further strengthening.[35] However, on

October 22, increasing westerly shear caused

Hurricane Patricia had no effects on land.[36]

Storm names

The following list of names was used to name storms that formed in the northeast Pacific in 2003.

Names that were not assigned are marked in gray. No names were retired by the World Meteorological

Organization, therefore this list was used again in the 2009 season. This is the same list which was used

for the 1997 season except for Patricia, which replaced Pauline. The name Patricia was previously used

in 1970 and 1974.
