 Tropical Depression Two @-@ E formed on June 27 about 575 miles ( 925 km ) south @-@ southwest of the tip of the Baja California Peninsula . The depression headed west @-@ northwest , gradually turned to the northwest , and strengthened into Tropical Storm Bud on June 27 . Early the next day , Bud peaked in intensity . Shear caused by a nearby upper level low slowly weakened Bud . Later on June 28 , a second center of circulation developed . The two centers started a Fujiwhara interaction . The second center then became dominant and the first one vanished . This confused structure is similar to what happened to 1993 's Tropical Storm Arlene . This confused structure also weakened Bud to a tropical depression on the afternoon of the same day the second center formed . Bud then headed westward over cool waters and dissipated on June 29 . Tropical Storm Bud spent its entire life over the open ocean far from land areas . No casualties or damage was reported .
