TWO TROPICAL CYCLONES DEVELOPED DURING JUNE...TROPICAL STORM BORIS
AND TROPICAL DEPRESSION THREE-E.
BORIS WAS A SHORT-LIVED TROPICAL STORM THAT BROUGHT HEAVY RAINS TO

OF ACAPULCO MEXICO WITH A TROPICAL WAVE. ON THE 8TH...A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION FORMED WITHIN THE DISTURBANCE ABOUT 150 N MI
WEST-SOUTHWEST OF ACAPULCO. THE DEPRESSION MOVED TO THE
WEST-NORTHWEST AND STRENGTHENED DURING THE DAY...REACHING TROPICAL
STORM STRENGTH AS WELL AS ITS PEAK INTENSITY OF 50 KT EARLY ON THE
9TH. LATE ON THE 9TH BORIS BECAME NEARLY STATIONARY. EASTERLY WIND
SHEAR CAUSED THE CYCLONE TO WEAKEN TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION ON
THE 10TH WHEN IT WAS ABOUT 100 N MI SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF MANZANILLO
MEXICO...AND BORIS DEGENERATED TO A THUNDERSTORM-FREE AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE ON THE 11TH. ALTHOUGH THE CENTER OF BORIS REMAINED
OFFSHORE...THERE WERE REPORTS OF DAMAGE TO SEVERAL HOMES ALONG THE
MEXICAN COAST DUE TO HEAVY RAINS FROM OUTER RAINBANDS.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION THREE-E FORMED ABOUT 1000 N MI SOUTHWEST
OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. THE DEPRESSION MOVED
WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN ENCOUNTERED STRONG
VERTICAL SHEAR WHICH REDUCED THE SYSTEM TO A SWIRL OF LOW CLOUDS.
