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.
