Question on EPAC system

[MiamiensisWx]

I just have a question for clarification on eastern Pacific systems. What is the furthest southeast a system (TC/tropical cyclone) has formed in the eastern Pacific? I've tried to do some sleuthing on this, but I've decided to ask this question for clarification instead.

Any professionals want to chim in on this, too?

Are you referring to the Eastern North Pacific only?. There have been cases where remnants of ATL storms have developed into EPAC systems right off the coast of Central America-generally around Guatemala.

I'm referring to the eastern North Pacific only.

Then they have formed just off the coast of Central America at their furthest SE which is as far as you can go in that basin.

True, but I was asking which eastern Pacific TC has formed the furtheast southeast on record.

[Aslkahuna]

Well, I'm busy today so I probably won't have time to search the EPAC track archives.

Any answers to this question yet?

Hmm, still no answers to my question. Perhaps I didn't clarify it clearly.

My question is this: what is the furthest south and east a named TC has formed in the eastern Pacific? I've looked it up, but there are many potential possibilities. Any answers to this question? I would just like some clarification on this.

I know of many eastern Pacific tropical storms and hurricanes that have formed off southern mainland Mexico fairly far southeast, but the list is quite endless, and it is unclear precisely which TC has formed the furthest southeast in the EPAC. Again, any answers yet?

Well, this is sorta a trivial question and I don't think many people would go to the Unisys archive and look year by year.

However, senorpepr might know.

Good points. I suspected so. I just started this thread because the question was more of a curiosity for clarification.

Mike is online. Maybe he will see this thread.

Francesca 1970 seems to be it.

[MiamiensisWx]

I thought so, Chacor. Thanks for the information I was seeking!

[Aslkahuna]

That would be for the post 1966 era when satellite data became available on a routine basis. There are two 1960 EPAC hurricanes-Estelle and Fernanda which were 75 knot storms at 11-12N and 91-92W that could have also very easily formed near where Francesca did but we just don't have the data.
