of Tehuantepec as a tropical depression but soon gained strength over warm waters; since it entered a new basin, the depression was reclassified as Tropical Storm Olivia. The cyclone moved erratically after this point while continuing to intensify, becoming a hurricane and attaining peak winds of by 00:00 UTC on September 22. Olivia eventually tracked north-northeast, moving onshore about east of Salina Cruz between 19:00–20:00 UTC that day; the system maintained winds of at that time. Rapid weakening occurred thereafter, and Olivia dissipated after 00:00 UTC on September 23. Tropical Storm Paul Tropical Storm Paul, the second system alongside Hurricane John without any genesis ties to the Atlantic, was first identified north of Hurricane Olivia on September 22. The system developed into a tropical depression by 00:00 UTC on September 23 but failed to intensify for several days thereafter. Finally, by 12:00 UTC on September 25, the system organized into Tropical Storm Paul. It attained peak winds of six hours later as it curved toward the northeast, narrowly missing Baja California Sur. Paul began to weaken as it approached the Mexico coastline, which it struck as a tropical depression around 12:00 UTC on September 26. Six hours later, the depression transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, which only persisted for an additional six hours before dissipating over northern Mexico. The remnants of Paul continued into the United States, producing generally light rain across Texas and Oklahoma. In southwestern Texas, some residents were evacuated, some homes saw water seep into their interiors, and some highways were closed due to high water, including a stretch of Interstate 20. Flood warnings had been hoisted across multiple counties there. Hurricane Rosa Two areas of disturbed weather focused south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec on October 1, one of which with origins as a tropical wave, underwent binary interaction and merged into one larger system the next day. The disturbance was upgraded to a tropical depression around 18:00 UTC, and it further intensified into Tropical Storm Rosa by 00:00 UTC on October 3. Rosa moved around the western periphery of an upper-level ridge, strengthening over warm waters as it did so. The cyclone became a hurricane by 00:00 UTC on October 4, ultimately attaining peak winds of on October 4. An aircraft reconnaissance plane intercepted the storm around this time, finding a elliptical eye open to the southwest. Rosa moved northwest over colder waters, transitioning to
