the first tropical storm, with the formation of Tropical Storm Alvin on 27 May, immediately followed by the formation of Tropical Storm Barbara on 29 May. The long-term (1971–2006) median start day is 29 May. No other named cyclone developed until the depression that eventually became Hurricane Cosme formed on 14 July. Flossie was the only major hurricane of the season and the intensification occurred just before it entered the central Pacific hurricane basin at 140°W. Using analysis techniques

While sea surface temperatures were at or above normal over most of the basin during this time, atmospheric conditions appear to have been less favorable. Figure 2 shows the monthly anomalies of 200–850-mb vertical wind shear for the months of August and September, calculated using twice-daily analyses from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service's Global Forecast System (GFS) and long-term means

eastern North Pacific basin. Tropical Cyclone intensity estimates can be obtained from the imagery using the Dvorak (1984) technique. Such estimates, or “classifications,” are provided every 6 h by the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) of the Tropical Prediction Center, the Satellite Analysis Branch of the National Environmental, Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and the Air Force Weather Agency.
