-southeast of Acapulco. The depression moved generally west-northwestward to northwestward around the southwestern periphery of a midtropospheric ridge centered over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. The cloud pattern became better organized, and the depression strengthened into a tropical storm 12 h after genesis. In a moist, low shear environment and over sea surface temperatures of 29°–30°C, Beatriz quickly intensified. Data from a U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter mission around 1800 UTC 20 June
