Actual activity 15 7 2

On May 22, 2008, NOAA released their forecast for the 2008 Eastern Pacific and Central Pacific hurricane seasons. They predicted a below-normal level of activity in the Eastern Pacific, with 11 to 16 named storms, of which 5 to 8 were expected to become hurricanes, and 1 to 3 expected to become major hurricanes.[2]

The Central Pacific basin was also expected to be slightly below average, with three to four tropical cyclones expected to form or cross into the area.[3]

Storms

Tropical Storm Alma

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationMay 28 – May 30
Peak intensity65 mph (100 km/h) (1-min);
994 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Tropical Storm Alma (2008)

An area of low pressure formed early on May 27 about 220 nm southwest of Nicaragua. [4] it then intensified and became the first tropical depression of the 2008 season late the next day. [5] It then strengthened into a tropical storm early on May 29, and was named Alma. [6] Alma then rapidly strengthened reaching her peak winds of 65 mph just before Alma made landfall on the Northwestern coast of Nicaragua near León at peak strength. [4]

León lost electricity and telephone services as the storm impacted the area, trees were toppled and some houses lost roofs. Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). In total nine people were killed with seven of them being indirect; the two direct deaths were in Nicaragua in León. [4] On May 30th the remnant low of Alma emerged into the Gulf of Honduras and merged with a tropical wave over the north western Caribbean sea which then became Tropical Storm Arthur later that day. [4] [7]

Hurricane Boris

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 27 – July 4
Peak intensity80 mph (130 km/h) (1-min);
985 mbar (hPa)

An area of low pressure slowly developed southwest of Central America in the fourth week of June. On June 27 at 2 a.m. PDT (0900 UTC), after several days over the warm waters south of the Baja Peninsula, it developed enough organized convection to be designated Tropical Depression Two-E. [8] After holding steady for about 48 hours, Boris intensified to a strong tropical storm late on June 29, and to a hurricane on July 1. Boris reached its peak the next day as an 80 mph hurricane.[9] Shortly after its peak, Boris moved over cooler waters and began to weaken and the remnant low dissipated July 6 .[10]

Tropical Storm Cristina

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 27 – June 30
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min);
1000 mbar (hPa)

An area of low pressure developed into Tropical Depression Three-E on June 27 to the west of Hurricane Boris. It strengthened the next day into Tropical Storm Cristina, and remained a relatively weak tropical storm as it tracked westward. It weakened to a tropical depression on June 30 as shear increased. Cristina dissipated later that day.

Tropical Storm Douglas

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 1 – July 3
Peak intensity40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min);
1003 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Tropical Storm Douglas (2008)

An area of low pressure developed into Tropical Depression Four-E on July 1, and quickly strengthened to Tropical Storm Douglas. By July 3, Douglas encountered wind shear and cooler waters preventing it from intensifying. Douglas was downgraded to a tropical depression later that day as the low became exposed.[11] It dissipated late that evening.


Tropical Depression Five-E

Tropical depression (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 5 – July 7
Peak intensity35 mph (55 km/h) (1-min);
1005 mbar (hPa)

In early July, a strong tropical wave southwest of the Mexican coast slowly developed. It became a tropical depression on July 5. It headed west-northwest before turning more northwest and making landfall near Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico on July 7. It dissipated shortly after landfall. It brought rainfall to southern Mexico, but caused no severe flooding, casualties, or serious damage in its path.

Hurricane Elida

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 12 – July 19
Peak intensity105 mph (165 km/h) (1-min);
970 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Hurricane Elida (2008)

Late on July 11 an area of low pressure situated a few hundred miles south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec acquired sufficient organized convection to be classified as Tropical Depression Six-E. The depression soon strengthened into Tropical Storm Elida. Overnight on July 14, Elida strengthened into a Hurricane, the second hurricane of the season. After remaining stable in intensity for a couple days, it rapidly strengthened on July 16 into a Category 2 hurricane. It then weakened into a tropical storm on the 18th and dissipated on July 19.

Hurricane Fausto

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 16 – July 22
Peak intensity100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min);
975 mbar (hPa)

Tropical Depression Seven-E formed from an area of low pressure on July 16 about 560 mi (905 km) SE of Acapulco. It strengthened into Tropical Storm Fausto that afternoon. It strengthened gradually into a strong tropical storm on July 17 and a hurricane on July 18. It briefly reached Category 2 intensity on July 20 while southwest of the Baja California peninsula before weakening rapidly that afternoon back to a tropical storm. It dissipated on July 22 over cooler waters.

Hurricane Genevieve

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 21 – July 27
Peak intensity75 mph (120 km/h) (1-min);
987 mbar (hPa)

A vigorous tropical wave tracked across Central America (nearly becoming a tropical depression in the southwest Caribbean Sea) in the third week of July. It emerged into the Pacific and organized into Tropical Depression Eight-E on July 21. That afternoon it strengthened into Tropical Storm Genevieve. It remained a tropical storm as it fluctuated in intensity for the next several days while well southwest of Mexico. On July 25, it strengthened into Hurricane Genevieve, which it remained until weakening to a tropical storm early on July 26, and a remnant low the next day.

Hurricane Hernan

Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 6 – August 13
Peak intensity120 mph (195 km/h) (1-min);
956 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Hurricane Hernan (2008)

A low pressure area well to the southwest of the Pacific coast of Mexico slowly developed into a tropical depression on August 6,[12] and strengthened into a tropical storm the same day. On August 8, it strengthened into a Hurricane and rapidly intensified late that evening into the morning of August 9, becoming the first major hurricane of the 2008 season that morning. It slowly weakened beginning late that day and became a remnant low on August 13.

Tropical Storm Kika

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 6 – August 12
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (1-min);
1007 hPa (mbar)

An area of disturbed weather to the southeast of Hawaiʻi organized enough to be classified as a tropical depression One-C on August 6, and strengthened into a tropical storm the same day and was named Kika (Keith in English) by the CPHC. [13] [14] Over the next few days as Kika moved westwards it maintained its peak intensity of 35 kts until late on August 8th when Kika was downgraded to a tropical depression. [15] However early the next day Kika reintensifed into a tropical storm [16] over the next few days Kika was kept at minimal tropical storm status until early on August 11 when it was downgraded to a tropical depression. The CPHC then downgraded Kika to a remnant low and issued its final advisory on August 12. [17]

Tropical Storm Iselle

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 13 – August 16
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min);
999 mbar (hPa)

A disturbance southwest of Mexico developed into Tropical Depression Ten-E on August 13. It became Tropical Storm Iselle later that day. It never threatened land, and dissipated on August 16.

Tropical Storm Julio

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 23 – August 26
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min);
998 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Tropical Storm Julio (2008)

On August 23, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) upgraded an area of low presure which was located in the eastern Pacific ocean south of Baja California to Tropical Depression Eleven E. [18] Later that morning, Tropical Storm Wactes went up. That afternoon, the depression intensified into a tropical storm after a ship report supported tropical storm intensity.[19] It made landfall in La Paz after becoming a tropical storm with 50 mph winds and a well-defined center, Mexico as a tropical storm on August 24, weakened, and dissipated August 26.

As Julio made landfall, it produced lightning and locally heavy rainfall,[20] which left more than a dozen communities isolated due to flooding. The flooding damaged several houses and killed two people.[21] Winds were generally light,[20] although strong enough to damage a few electrical poles and small buildings.[22] Moisture from Julio developed thunderstorms across Arizona, including one near Chandler which produced winds of 75 mph (120 km/h); the storm damaged ten small planes at Chandler Municipal Airport, as well as a hangar. The storms also dropped light rainfall, reaching over 1 inch (25 mm) in Gilbert, which caused flooding on Interstate 17.[23]



Tropical Storm Karina

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 2 – September 3
Peak intensity40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min);
1000 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Tropical Storm Karina (2008)

A disturbance tracked into the eastern Pacific near the end of August. It slowly organized itself, and was determined to have been a tropical storm on the morning of September 2, but weakened to a tropical depression later the same day. The depression dissipated late the next morning.

Tropical Storm Lowell

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 6 – September 11
Peak intensity60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min);
996 mbar (hPa)
Main article: Tropical Storm Lowell (2008)

A large system of thunderstorms, southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, strengthened into Tropical Storm Lowell on the night of September 6. The system skipped tropical depression status and was named "Lowell".[24] A tropical storm watch was issued for southern Baja California as the storm headed north, but it weakened to a tropical depression on September 10, and dissipated on September 11. No damages or deaths were reported from Lowell. The remnants of Tropical Storm Lowell continued across the United States and joined with a cold front bringing heavy rains to the central northern states, causing significant flooding and minor damage.

Hurricane Marie

Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationOctober 1 – October 6
Peak intensity80 mph (130 km/h) (1-min);
984 mbar (hPa)

Tropical Depression Fourteen-E formed on October 1 from a broad area of low pressure SW of Baja California. It strengthened to become Tropical Storm Marie later the same day. Heading more or less westwards, by October 3 it became slow moving and strengthened to a hurricane. After unusually weak activity during the late August and September [19], Marie was the first hurricane since Hernan, two months earlier. Marie weakened at a steady pace until its winds reached 40 mph. Shortly thereafter, it was downgraded to tropical depression status. It degenerated into a remnant low on October 7.

Hurricane Norbert

Tropical Depression Fifteen-E formed on October 3 out of a broad low pressure system that had been festering south of southern Mexico for the previous 4 days or so. It strengthened into Tropical Storm Norbert late October 4, and became a hurricane on October 6. On October 7 the storm rapidly intensified into a category two hurricane and it became a major hurricane on October 8, the second of the season and the first since Hurricane Hernan. It continued to strengthen into a category 4 hurricane before weakening back to a category 3 by the morning of October 9th, and weakened into a category 1 hurricane that afternoon, but restrengthened into a category 2 the next day, and became a minimal major hurricane the next morning, and it made landfall as a category 2 later that morning.

Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Rating

ACE (104kt²) (Source) — Storm:
1 18.5 Norbert 9 2.45 Lowell
2 11.9 Hernan 10 (1.59) Kika
3 11.5 Elida 11 1.30 Iselle
4 10.1 Fausto 12 1.21 Cristina
5 7.03 Boris 13 1.18 Julio
6 5.76 Genevieve 14 0.830 Alma
7 4.94 Marie 15 0.490 Douglas
8 2.50 Odile 16 0.123 Karina
Total: 78.8 (1.59)

The table on the right shows the ACE for each storm in the season. ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs. ACE is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 34 knots (39 mph, 63 km/h) or tropical storm strength.

The figures in parentheses are for storms in the Central Pacific basin west of 140°W; those not in parenthesis are for the Eastern Pacific basin.

Storm names

The following names will be used for named storms that form in the northeast Pacific in 2008. This is the same list that was used in the 2002 season, except for Karina, which replaced Kenna. The retirement from 2002 was the first time a name was ever retired and then replaced on this list since 1978. The name Karina was used for the first time in 2008. Names that weren't used are marked in gray.

  • Rachel (unused)
  • Simon (unused)
  • Trudy (unused)
  • Vance (unused)
  • Winnie (unused)
  • Xavier (unused)
  • Yolanda (unused)
  • Zeke (unused)

For the central Pacific Ocean, four consecutive lists are used, with the names used sequentially until exhausted, rather than until the end of the year, due to the low number of storms each year.

  • Kika
  • Lana (unused)
  • Maka (unused)
