A tropical wave entered the eastern Pacific by October 14, where it spawned a broad area of low pressure.
The disturbance became better defined over the coming days, prompting the NHC to initiate advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Seventeen-E at 03:00 UTC on October 16 and facilitate tropical storm watches along the coastline of Mexico.
The disturbance soon became poorly organized, as its convection dwindled and its center became less defined.
The system moved inland between Bahias de Huatulco and Salina Cruz in the Mexican state of Oaxaca without ever having formed into a tropical cyclone.
Gusty winds and heavy rain affected parts of El Salvador, causing significant damage.
Four people died in storm-related incidents: three from flooding and one from a fallen tree.
Eighty families required evacuation in Cangrejera.
