2016 Pacific hurricane season#Tropical Storm Estelle

On May 6, 2016, the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) issued its first outlook for the Pacific hurricane season, forecasting a below average season with 10 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. On May 27, NOAA released their outlook, forecasting 13-20 named storms, 6-11 hurricanes, and 3-6 major hurricanes. NOAA admitted that this season would be difficult to predict because of changing conditions, but both organizations cited a dissipating El Niño and the formation of a La Niña event, which resulted in the prediction of a near-normal season in both basins. In the Central Pacific, about four to seven cyclones would form or enter within the basin, citing an equal 40% chance of an above-normal or near-normal season.

The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index for the 2016 Pacific hurricane season as calculated by Colorado State University using data from the National Hurricane Center was 184.9 units.{{#tag:ref|The total represents the sum of the squares of the maximum sustained wind speed (knots) for every (sub)tropical storm's intensity of over 33 knots (38 mph, 61 km/h), divided by 10,000 while they are above that threshold; therefore, tropical depressions are not included.|group="nb"}}{{cite web| title=Basin Archives: Northeast Pacific Ocean Historical Tropical Cyclone Statistics|url=http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northeastpacific|publisher=Colorado State University|location=Fort Collins, Colorado|access-date=July 8, 2022}}

As the new year began, Pali formed on January 7, in the central Pacific, two days before the date Tropical Storm Winona formed in 1989. Pali subsequently surpassed Hurricane Ekeka's record as the earliest hurricane on January 11. When Pali reached a peak intensity of 100 mph, it surpassed Winona to become the strongest January tropical cyclone east of the International Date Line.{{cite web|author=Bob Henson|publisher=Weather Underground|date=January 7, 2016|accessdate=March 24, 2021|title=Rare January Depression in Central Pacific; Atlantic Subtropical Storm Next Week?|url=http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3218|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170325082719/https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3218|archive-date=March 25, 2017|url-status=dead}}

In the eastern Pacific, no tropical depressions or storms formed during the month of May for the first time since 2011, and then, no named storms formed during June for the first time since 2007. When Agatha formed on July 2, it became the latest first named storm on record in the eastern Pacific proper since 1969. Despite this, the season set a record for the most number of storms during the first half of July. When Georgette formed on July 21, it became the seventh named storm to form in the month of July; equaling the previous record set in 1985 and 2015 for the most active July since reliable records began. And when Frank became a hurricane (after Georgette did so), it marked a record-high 5 hurricanes in July. Finally, Howard formed on July 31, however, was not named until August 1, one named storm shy of the record. Despite that, the season tied the record set in 1985 with the most named storms in July. Activity in August was slightly less active than July. Lester and Madeline threatened the Big Island at hurricane strength. Lester passed north of the islands, Madeline brought some rain as the storm dissipated south of Hawaii. Javier and Newton followed similar paths close to the Mexican coast, with both making landfall in the Baja California Peninsula in August and early September respectively. After Newton led off September; Hurricanes Orlene, Paine and Tropical Storm Roslyn followed forming far from land. Hurricane Ulika became the first tropical cyclone on record to cross 140°W three times. It formed and was designated a tropical depression in the eastern Pacific, but did not develop into a tropical storm until after entering the central Pacific, where, like Pali, it was named from the basin's Hawaiian language lists of names. After an unusually quiet October, Hurricane Seymour became the sixth major hurricane of the season, as well as the strongest. Tropical Storm Tina formed close to the coast of Mexico in mid-November. In late November, Tropical Storm Otto entered the basin from the Atlantic, becoming only the eighteenth cyclone to do so; however, it dissipated quickly due to unfavorable conditions.

{{Main|Hurricane Pali}}

A powerful and long-lived westerly wind burst — a feature commonly associated with strong El Niño events — spurred cyclogenesis within a persistent low-latitude, west-to-east oriented surface trough, resulting in the formation of an area of low pressure on January 6.{{cite report|author1=Derek Wroe|author2=Sam Houston|publisher=Central Pacific Hurricane Center|date=December 13, 2018|access-date=July 4, 2019|title=Hurricane Pali|series=Tropical Cyclone Report|url={{NHC TCR url|id=CP012016_Pali}}|format=PDF|location=Honolulu, Hawaii}} Fueled by unusually high sea surface temperatures, estimated at {{convert|29.5|C|F|abbr=on}}, the system gradually coalesced into a tropical depression on January 7. A ridge aloft centered directly overhead the system enhanced its poleward outflow, enabling the development of deep convection around its center, which soon strengthened into a tropical storm receiving the name Pali, becoming the earliest such system in the northeastern Pacific on record.{{cite web|author=Bob Henson|publisher=Weather Underground|date=January 8, 2016|accessdate=March 24, 2021|title=Warm, Wet Year for U.S.; Record Heat in South Africa; Tropical Storm Pali Intensifies|url=http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3219|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170325085041/https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3219|archive-date=March 25, 2017|url-status=dead}} Pali continued intensifying through the first half of January 8 and nearly reached hurricane strength, but easterly vertical wind shear caused by the ridge disrupted its center, causing it to start weakening and move northwestward. Steady weakening continued through January 9 as Pali's deep convection was displaced to the west of its low-level center and intermittently pulsed, later leading to a dramatic decrease in intensity. By the end of that day, Pali barely maintained tropical storm strength, and the lack of persistent deep convection permitted it to be less affected by the easterly wind shear, causing its forward motion to decrease significantly. As the ridge weakened and retreated southward on January 10, causing vertical wind shear to gradually diminish, Pali started re-intensifying, with persistent deep convection redeveloping near its center and within its western quadrant. On January 11, the ridge passed directly over Pali, leading to the reestablishment of poleward outflow and eventual development of southwesterly flow, enabling its convection to slowly increase in coverage and organization within all quadrants and establishing a northeastward movement.

On January 12, light vertical wind shear and high sea surface temperatures enabled Pali to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane. Later that day, Pali strengthened further into a Category 2 hurricane while travelling southwards, reaching its peak intensity.{{cite web|url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2016/TCPCP1.CP012016.022.201601122047|title=Hurricane Pali Advisory Number 22|website=prh.noaa.gov|author=Bob Burke|publisher=Central Pacific Hurricane Center|location=Honolulu, Hawaii|date=January 12, 2016|accessdate=March 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181004000801/http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/2016/TCPCP1.CP012016.022.201601122047|archive-date=October 4, 2018|url-status=dead}} During the next few days, Pali rapidly weakened while turning back towards the south-southeast, due to steady increases in southerly vertical wind shear and loss of Coriolis force. Further decay in the organization of deep convection made Pali being downgraded into a remnant low late on January 14. While weakening, Pali reached a minimum latitude of 2.6°N, making it the second-lowest latitude tropical cyclone on record in the Western Hemisphere, behind Tropical Depression Nine-C which attained a minimum latitude of 2.2°N just two weeks prior.{{cite web|last1=Erdman|first1=John|title=Tropical Depression Nine-C Dissipates; Caps Off a Record Central Pacific Hurricane Season|url=http://www.weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/central-pacific-tropical-depression-nine-c-storm-pali|website=The Weather Channel|publisher=The Weather Channel|access-date=6 January 2016}} Pali completed a broad and looping track, by dissipating approximately {{convert|50|nmi|mi+km|abbr=on}} from where it initially developed. Unrelated to Pali, Hurricane Alex developed over the Atlantic during the last few days of Pali's existence. This marked the first known occurrence of simultaneous January tropical cyclones between the two basins.{{cite web|author=Jeff Masters|publisher=Weather Underground|date=January 13, 2016|access-date=January 14, 2016|title=Unprecedented: Simultaneous January Named Storms in the Atlantic and Central Pacific|url=http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3222}}

Hurricane Lester, departed from the west coast on Africa on August 11. On August 24, a well organized low-pressure system was upgraded into Tropical Depression Thirteen-E. Entering a favorable environment, the depression quickly intensified into Tropical Storm Lester. Moving steadily west-northwestwards, intensification continued, and Lester rapidly intensified on August 26 into a hurricane. Intensification continued throughout the day, with Lester reaching Category 2 strength the following day. By August 29, Lester had strengthened into the fourth major hurricane of the season. On August 30, Lester started to go through a weakening stage, at which point the storm began accelerating towards Hawaii. Late on August 30 Lester re-intensified to a Category 4 hurricane. The storm did not maintain this intensity, however, and on the next day dropped below major hurricane status as its eye filled with clouds. On September 1, Lester's eye cleared, and it once again became a Category 3 hurricane. Lester also moved very close to the Hawaiian islands, but passed safely to the east and quickly lost strength over cooler waters.{{cite web|last1=Brown|first1=Daniel P.|title=Hurricane Lester|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP132016_Lester.pdf|website=nhc.noaa.gov|publisher=National Hurricane Center|access-date=20 March 2017}}

The outer rainbands from Lester produced heavy showers and minor flooding over the leeward slopes of the Big Island and portions of east Maui on September 3. Winds were light, however.{{Cite web |url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/hnl/hydro/pages/sep16sum.php |title=September 2016 Precipitation Summary |access-date=2017-04-23 |archive-date=2017-04-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170424010454/http://www.prh.noaa.gov/hnl/hydro/pages/sep16sum.php |url-status=dead }} But, no major damages was done by the result of that hurricane. There were some impacts from Lester in the Hawaiian Islands while the hurricane passed north of the state. Large swell generated by the hurricane resulted in surf of 10 to 20 feet along the eastern facing shores of the islands. Lifeguards conducted numerous water rescues, but there were no reports of serious injuries. {{Citation needed|date=August 2023}}{{clear}}

On September 5, a tropical wave that had traversed the Atlantic basin moved into the Eastern Pacific.{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP162016_Orlene.pdf|title=Hurricane Orlene|work=National Hurricane Center|date=27 January 2017|access-date=3 February 2017}} Passing south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, the disturbance gradually organized, and by September 10, satellite images showed that a surface circulation has formed, however, thunderstorm activity was too disorganized to be classified as a tropical cyclone. It is estimated that Tropical Depression Sixteen-E formed at 00:00 UTC on September 11 about {{convert|700|mi|km}} south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, after curved banding features developed near the center. The center became embedded in a central dense overcast, and six hours later, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Orlene.

Moving north-northwest around a ridge of high pressure, Orlene entered an area of warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear, prompting a period of rapid intensification as a well-defined eye became visible at the center, and Orlene became a hurricane at 06:00 UTC September 12. The hurricane eventually reached its peak intensity as a high-end Category 2 hurricane with winds of {{convert|110|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} at 18:00 UTC that day. The storm then moved into an area of cooler waters, which caused Orlene to weaken back to a tropical storm as it slowed down due to a trough approaching it and eventually replaced with a ridge. It began to turn west, and re-strengthened to a hurricane again before eventually succumbing to increasing wind shear and weakening again commenced. Orlene deteriorated into a remnant low by September 17, which persisted for another 12 hours before dissipating. Trailing deep tropical moisture from the remnants of Orlene passing north of the island chain produced moderate to heavy rainfall and minor flooding along the windward slopes of Haleakalā on September 23.

The origins of Paine were complex, having originated from several tropical waves. On September 10, the first one moved into the Eastern Pacific.{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP172016_Paine.pdf|title=National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Paine|author=Eric S. Blake|work=National Hurricane Center|date=27 January 2017|access-date=5 March 2017}} It moved westwards over the next few days, spawning a small area of low pressure as a result. Convection remained disorganized due to easterly wind shear, which inhibited development. By September 16, another wave which had formed overtook the small low and absorbed it into its circulation. The system became better organized with a large area of convection, but the circulation was elongated. Over the next day, wind shear decreased and convection became better organized, and it is estimated that a tropical depression formed at 00:00 UTC on September 18, about {{convert|325|mi|km}} west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, becoming a tropical storm about six hours later and assigned the name Paine.

Almost immediately, the cyclone underwent a period of rapid intensification as it moved northwestwards around the periphery of a subtropical ridge that was over Mexico. Banding features developed in association with a central dense overcast (CDO) that produced very deep convection. Early on September 19, Paine became a hurricane and shortly afterwards achieved its peak intensity around 18:00 UTC. As fast as it became a hurricane, it weakened at a similar pace due to decreasing sea surface temperatures, and Paine degraded into a remnant low only a day after reaching its peak intensity. The remnants of Paine continued to move northward, before dissipating just offshore of the Baja California Peninsula, late on September 21.

A tropical wave moved into the Eastern Pacific on September 17, spawning a broad area low pressure as it moved to the west. The disturbance lacked any significant organization until September 24, when shower and thunderstorm activity became a little more organized, although the system lacked a well-defined circulation. After gradually becoming better organized, it is estimated from satellite data that a tropical depression formed at 1200 UTC about {{convert|700|mi|km}} southwest of the tip of Baja California. It moved northward and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Roslyn the next day at 00:00 UTC. Moderate wind shear and dry air prevented any significant strengthening, and by 18:00 UTC it attained a peak intensity of {{convert|50|mph|km/h|abbr=on|round=5}}. On September 27, southwesterly wind shear started to weaken Roslyn. Weakening slowly over the next two days, Roslyn weakened to a tropical depression on September 29 and degraded to a remnant low shortly afterwards, dissipating the next day a few hundred miles west of Cabo San Lazaro.{{cite web|last1=Pasch|first1=Richard|title=Tropical Storm Roslyn|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP182016_Roslyn.pdf|website=nhc.noaa.gov|publisher=National Hurricane Center|access-date=16 April 2017}}

On September 26, the NHC upgraded a long-tracked tropical wave into Tropical Depression Nineteen-E. Within hours of formation, the depression moved into the Central Pacific and was upgraded into Tropical Storm Ulika.{{cite web|title=TROPICAL STORM ULIKA ADVISORY NUMBER 4|last=Jelsema|first=Jon|url=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tcpages/archive/?prod=TCPCP2.EP192016.004.201609270859|access-date=2016-10-09}} With an upper-level low to the northwest, Ulika slowly turned north, then northeast, back into the Eastern Pacific by 18:00 UTC the following day, Situated in a favorable environment, Ulika steadily intensified, reaching Category 1 strength at 2:00 a.m. PDT (09:00 UTC) on September 28, and simultaneously reaching a peak intensity of {{convert|75|mph|km/h|abbr=on|round=5}}.{{cite web|title=HURRICANE ULIKA ADVISORY NUMBER 8|last=Berg|first=Robbie|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2016/ep19/ep192016.public.008.shtml?|access-date=2016-10-09}} Later that day, Ulika began weakening due to an increase in southwesterly wind shear. The low began to steer Ulika northwards, then northwestwards into September 29. While crossing back into the Central Pacific (for a record-tying third time), Ulika weakened into a remnant low the following day. The remains of the storm continued a westwards movement, then southwestwards until dissipating on October 3.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP192016_Ulika.pdf|title=Hurricane Ulika|last=Beven II|first=John L.|date=28 February 2018|website=National Hurricane Center|access-date=18 August 2018}}

On October 11, a fast-moving tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa, and traversed the Atlantic without development. By October 20, the disturbance emerged into the Pacific Ocean.{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP202016_Seymour.pdf|author=Stacy R. Stewart|work=National Hurricane Center|title=National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report: Hurricane Seymour|date=20 February 2017|access-date=5 March 2017}} The next day, a weak surface circulation developed in response to a Gulf of Tehuantepec wind gap event. Organization continued further over the next two days, and after deep convection became more concentrated and the low became better defined, it is estimated that Tropical Depression Twenty-E formed around 06:00 UTC on October 23 about {{convert|360|mi|km}} south of Manzanillo, Mexico, later strengthening into a tropical storm six hours later and assigned the name Seymour, accordingly.

Moving westward, Seymour began developing banding features and an eye was becoming evident on satellite. The hurricane later entered a period of rapid intensification due to very favorable conditions, which included low wind shear, a moist atmosphere, and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) of around {{convert|29–30|C|F}}. The eye of Seymour later contracted to around {{convert|10|mi|km}}. By late on October 25, Seymour reached its peak intensity as a high-end category 4 major hurricane with sustained winds of {{convert|150|mph|km/h|abbr=on|round=5}} and a pressure of {{convert|940|mbar|inHg}}. Shortly after peaking in intensity, the cyclone rapidly weakened in response to increasing wind shear, drier air and decreasing sea surface temperatures due to upwelling as it turned northwestwards around the edge of a subtropical ridge. By 18:00 UTC on October 27, Seymour had weakened to a tropical storm, shortly before degenerating into a remnant low early the next day. The low continued to drift northwards before dissipating on October 30 about {{convert|500|mi|km}} west of Puerto Cortes, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

A tropical disturbance broke off from a low- to mid-level trough over the northern Caribbean on November 2, moving southwestwards into the Eastern Pacific by November 8. That same day, a low-pressure area formed within the disturbance. Persistent deep convection significantly increased over the next few days, attributed to the passage of a convectively coupled Kelvin wave. Turning northwards due to a mid-level high, convection continued to increase despite increasing southwesterly wind shear. By November 12, a low-level circulation center formed within the much broader, though disorganized, system. Eventually, the circulation became sufficiently well-defined to be declared Tropical Storm Tina at 06:00 UTC on November 13. Due to the strong wind shear, however, Tina remained weak throughout the day, with winds never rising above {{convert|40|mph|km/h|abbr=on|round=5}}. As the low- and mid-level circulations began to decouple, Tina turned westwards the next day as it weakened to a tropical depression. Amid strong shear and a dry atmospheric environment, convection could not be sustained and Tina degenerated to a remnant low just 30 hours after its formation. The remnant low continued drifting westwards for the next four days, before dissipating completely on November 18.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/EP212016_Tina.pdf|title=Tropical Cyclone Report: Tropical Storm Tina|author=Todd B.

Early on November 25, the center of once-hurricane Otto from the Atlantic basin emerged into the Eastern Pacific, becoming the first to do so since Hurricane Cesar–Douglas in 1996.{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2016/al16/al162016.public_a.017.shtml?|title=Tropical Storm Otto Public Advisory 17A|work=National Hurricane Center|date=November 25, 2016|access-date=December 29, 2016}} Due to crossing over the mountainous terrain of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Otto weakened somewhat as it moved westwards, with possible indications of its circulation being tilted. Continuing to move westwards due to the influence of a subtropical ridge to its north, Otto eventually encountered more hostile environmental conditions, as wind shear began to increase dramatically. The circulation of Otto became disrupted, and Otto opened up into a trough of low pressure on November 26.{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2016/al16/al162016.discus.024.shtml?|title=Remnants of Otto Discussion Number 24|work=National Hurricane Center|date=November 26, 2016|access-date=December 29, 2016}}
