Meteorological History
On May 7, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring an area of disturbed weather over the eastern Pacific for possible tropical development. The disturbance began to show signs of organization on May 9, consolidating into a tropical depression by 00:00 UTC on May 10. The depression strengthened into a tropical storm twelve hours later and was named Aletta. The depression attained its peak intensity at 06:00 UTC on May 11, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and a minimum pressure of 1000 mbar. The cyclone began to weaken immediately as it moved into an area of cool waters and dry air. At 06:00 UTC on May 12, Aletta became devoid of deep convection, and the storm degenerated into a non-convective remnant low.
