Brief Information About
Tropical Depression Four-E
14 - 15 July 1999

An area of disturbed weather, associated with a tropical wave that moved into the eastern Pacific on 15 July, was first noted near 10N 119W on 20 July. The initial development was slow, with the system becoming Tropical Depression Four-E on 23 July (Table 1). Moving westward, the depression was close to tropical storm strength early on 24 July. The associated convection became disorganized as the cyclone crossed into the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) area of responsibility later that day, and the depression dissipated early on 25 July.
