Storm type
Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionOn June 20, a large area of low pressure associated with a broad tropical wave off the coast of Mexico formed and was initially given a 20% chance of development into a tropical cyclone.[1] It slowly became better organized.[2] This system continued to became more organized early on June 22. As such, the NHC noted an 80% chance of development during the next 48 hours.[3] By the evening, the low was was upgraded into a tropical depression as the thunderstorm activity became a little more concentrated.[4] Upon formation, some intensification was foretasted, but no impact on land was expected.[5] The depression developed and continued to organize, and early the next morning, the NHC upgraded the depression to Tropical Storm Darby.[6]
