Juliette (2007)

A tropical cyclone formed from a tropical wave that crossed Central America and emerged into the eastern Pacific in late September 2007. A low formed about 300–365 nautical miles southwest of Acapulco, and a tropical depression developed at 0000 UTC 29 September. The system moved northwest at about 10 knots, became Tropical Storm Juliette by 1200 UTC 29 September, and followed a path between Socorro and Clarion Islands before weakening and degenerating to a remnant low on 2 October. The remnant circulation lingered about 200 nmi west of the Baja California Peninsula and dissipated by 5 October.

Juliette did not make any landfalls. Its center remained well offshore of mainland Mexico and the Baja Peninsula throughout its life, passing between Socorro and Clarion Islands without reported land impact.

The storm’s maximum intensity was estimated at 50 knots (about 58 mph) with a minimum central pressure of 997 millibars at 1200 UTC 30 September. At peak it was a moderate tropical storm (below hurricane strength).

There were no reports of storm surge associated with Juliette, and no surface observations were available from Socorro or Clarion Islands during the passage. The official report recorded no casualties and no damage attributed to the storm. Specific rainfall totals for cities or counties were not reported in the NHC report.

Juliette was short-lived and stayed well offshore, so impacts were minimal. NHC forecasts and track guidance for Juliette were generally better than long-term averages; official track and intensity forecasts had smaller-than-average errors for this storm. No ships reported tropical-storm-force winds in the vicinity during Juliette’s passage.
