List of Storms in The 2006 Pacific Hurricane Season - Hurricane Carlotta

Hurricane Carlotta

Late on July 11, a new tropical depression formed about 250 miles (400 km) southwest of the Mexican state of Guerrero. The depression intensified quickly, and six hours later it was upgraded to tropical storm status, receiving the name Carlotta. The storm continued to strengthen, and became a hurricane 24 hours later. However, the system encountered unfavorable conditions and cooler waters and weakened into a tropical storm during the afternoon of July 14. Carlotta managed to regain some convection and restrengthened into a hurricane late that evening, only to weaken back into a tropical storm again the following morning. The system continued to weaken and was downgraded to tropical depression status on the morning of July 16. Carlotta degenerated into a non-convective remnant low later that night. Early in its duration, Carlotta produced light rainfall along the coast, and there were no reports of tropical storm-force winds over land. No fatalities or damages were reported.
